Day 3 begins and I need an attitude adjustment

John says that vinegar must be good for us, because if it wasn't, no one in their right mind would put it in their body. I think that applies to exercise and eating healthy food. Ick. You're supposed to get used to this and learn to like it, right? And water? Ugh. I'm a bonified Diet Coke addict and the hardest part of this entire 2.001 days has been drinking nothing but water. But, I guess Diet Coke makes you crave sweets, so I'm trying to not drink it. I still crave sweets AND on top of that, I crave Diet Coke.

Yesterday, my Curves book said I was supposed to have 6 oz shrimp, 3 cups spinach salad, a boiled egg, a 1/4 cup of onion, 10 baby carrots + salad dressing for lunch. Sounded like a huge lunch, so I thought I'd try it. Shrimp is nasty. Spinich salad is nasty. I ended up eating a frozen Healthy Choice meal with the carrots. And water. Meanwhile, my hubby and kids are eating the same old good food :) I'm jealous.

And let's talk about exercise. I decided to quit Curves. $30 a month is a good deal when you actually go, but I was a member for 2+ years and probably only went 100 times total. I loved the people there, but it was still exercise and I never enjoyed the actual experience. So now, I'm left with my museum of exercise machines in the basement as exercise choices. I chose the treadmill, or what we lovingly call our "dreadville". Day 1, I got on and was going to walk a mile, if it killed me, no matter how long it took. I got to .5 miles and quit. I can't believe how out of shape I am. .5 miles in 15 minutes DID feel like it was going to kill me. Ha. Last night, I got on and walked .77 miles before imminent death. Tonight, I'll shoot for more! I figure, at least I increased, right? If I can walk a little more every day, that's good! I do also go for walks with Chloe and the dog every day, but those are at a 4 year old's pace. We stop and look at every anthill and leaf along the way, so it can't be considered real exercise. It sure is fun though.

All this drama and I'm losing water weight like mad, I should be happy. Anyone know a good psychiatrist? All I can think about is how far I have to go. Attitude adjustment please! Sign me up!
