Okay, so I haven't been very good at my exercising or my eating habits, so I have decided (maybe this is stupid, but maybe not) to start over fresh on Sunday.
At work, we are having a wellness challenge that starts on Sunday, and you earn prizes for points. You get points for doing things such as getting 8 hours of sleep at night, drinking plenty of water, exercising 30 minutes a day, etc. I think if I start out fresh, I'll be motivated and more willing to do this.
So, starting Sunday, here we go again! :D

Whew!
So I decided to run up and down the stairs yesterday. I was doing so good, and I was actually enjoying it, until my legs BURNED, my lungs BURNED, and I was breathing so hard. I didn't want to over do it, so I stopped, thinking I had to have done at least 10 minutes, right? Nope, not even close. I was very discouraged when I found out I had only been doing it for 2 whole minutes. :(
But, that's okay! I have to remember that I am not in the same shape I was when I was swimming, and that I need to take it slow and easy and build into it. I can't expect to be in great shape overnight (though I wish!). :)
Still excited! :)

Counting Calories
I have been thinking about it lately, and I really want to be in shape again. I was pretty good while I was on the swim team, but I miss those days and I have really just been...eh. So, I have decided to watch what I eat a little bit more, and to exercise a whole lot more.
I found a website that is FREE (bonus!) and it helps you count calories and it also shows you your "healthy" weight range. I need to lose 70lbs in order to be in that range! At first I was a little worried, but I lost 20 lbs on the swim team in 6 months, so I know I can do it :).
And then today, I saw that our company is issuing a "wellness challenge." It basically is just to motivate us to eat more veggies and fruits, and to exercise more. I thought "what a great motivation to something I'm already trying to do!" There are prizes, and even an iPod Nano is one of them! :D
I am so excited for this, especially when it gets warm. I think I want to start swimming laps, and I also want to get up early when it gets warm and go jogging. I think it'll be so awesome!
