I spent the last few hours rounding up what I needed to start working out, I got two sets of weights and a book entitled "Strength Training For Women". I know I should not spend the money like this but I feel like the money is not important right now. There is so much to do for myself and I am tired of putting these things off till tomorrow because I am tired or I just don't feel like I can do it. I feel like taking small steps towards building a better self image and being healthy.
I have had a fairly normal day aside from all that I have thought about. I don't feel like I want to work out tonight but I will definitely start tomorrow.
I got a call from my friend Teresa (she is the girl in the picture I posted) this evening while I was out shopping and she read my post yesterday and she did not believe what I wrote either. She was simply shocked that a stranger would comment on my underwear but she also added that she been meaning to say something to me for a while about them but never felt comfortable with it. She told me about her date the other night and it made me glad that I am not actively in the dating world.
She had high hopes for the date and that is why she bought a new outfit for the date. How can I put this kindly since I don't want to give away too much of the details since she might be reading this later on. He was a pig and showed up at her house to pick her up already a little tipsy. He took her out for a movie and then they had a few drinks. I am glad she decided not to drink that night because she did not tell me how many drinks he had but enough so that he might have passed out in the bathroom because he never came back to the table. She said he either ditched her or passed out in the bathroom. That sounds like a hot date to me. That is just rude!
I was walking around in Borders listening to Teresa tell me about the date so I was not going to say anything out loud but I just could not believe what she went through with that guy. I wanted to hang up the phone and call her back later but the details were just to unbelievable. She also mentioned that he would not keep her hands off her in the movie theatre and she moved over one seat. Once I hung up the phone with her I found my book after skimming through a few. I looked around in the café area to see if there were any guys hanging out but I guess Wednesday is not the night that they all show up.
I got home about twenty minutes ago and decided to write out my thoughts for this evening to see if I could piece together my day in way that it would all make sense.
The last few nights I have been waking up from sleep so twisted up in the sheets that my neck has been bothering me all day. I am usually really good about lying down on my side and sleeping through the night but not lately. I am really stressed about meeting some one soon, when I looked at men tonight even the register guy started looking appealing and I know that it is bad sign! Feeling this way in the past has caused me to lower my standards and end up making some bad decision.
Its just another day...

I would highly suggest checking out fit day. If nothing else it has a quick calculator to tell you how many calories you burn resting in a day. Something you need to know. Then you take how many you burn in a day (lets just say 1000 for easy math) Then subtract how many calories you plan to eat in your diet (lets say 1200 for easy math) That means that in a normal day you are eating 200 more calories than you use, everyone does some activity durring the day even if it is just getting up and walking to the bathroom so dont get discouraged by that number it does not mean you are eating 200 too many calories.
Then fit day allows you to enter in what you ate and what you did physically (and they have like everything) and will tell you how many calories you ate how many you burned how much was from fat blah blah blah. Its really a GREAT website.
Also please please pleeease, watch your calories and make sure they never dip below 1200. Anything less than that and your body goes into starvation mode and it begins to store fat. Then when you do eat your body will not burn it and you will just get sick and gain weight. The trick is not always to eat less but usually just to work out more.
Even every other day is good enough starting out.
Your doing great!!
