leftovers

Hello, so it's day two of my new life. Damn that sounds cheesy. Luckily, it doesn't matter because I have good news to report. Yesterday on my lunch break, instead of driving to McDonalds and ordering a big mac, large fries, chicken sandwich and a strawberry shake (with a diet coke, or course!) I just went walking. I walked up to Amoeba on Sunset Blvd. and back. Then, when I got off work, I went to Gold's gym and did the elliptical running machine for 45 minutes.

The rest is OK for now (although my finances could use some work). To explain things, I am 27 and in a band. I also have a day job working in an office. I like to eat food a lot, and I love fast food. I also love cookies and muffins. I like Ice Cream too
