hmmm..well day two definitely could have went better. this whole not being too busy to think about my health isn't as easy as you'd think. i feel like i'm seriously always on the run. i eat by whats quickest, not whats best. i need to stop it. i'm getting ready to move so that isn't helping either. we're trying to eat what we have left in the house and not buy any food. though i feel like having some healthy snacks around the house would really help. pizza rolls, taco bell, and a night splurge snack today. i'm definitely doing something wrong. i need to eat smaller meals more often and have healthy snacks between meals to prevent over unhealthy eating at bad times. i need to make a more conscious effort tomorrow. i cant keep putting this off.

19april2011

everyone's got to start somewhere. i guess today is the day. i realize how important health and still somehow always manage to put it on the back burner. i'm going to change that. i guess blogging wouldn't be the usual way to go about this, but i think it'll help. so much homework and school related stuff this week..probably a bad week to really start this whole kick. oh well. i'm not really sure how i'm going to go about this whole blog. log my food? weight? track what i ate and how much i exercised? list my goals? i really don't know. i guess i'll improvise as i go along. really, i don't think i'm one of those image obsessed girls who only thinks about being skinny and cares entirely too much about what everyone else thinks. but who am i kidding? i won't lie, everyone cares at least a little bit. i do think the media portrays the "perfect" body image to young women which contributes to eating disorders and obsession over weight and appearance. what i really want though? to be healthy. i could definitely stand to lose a few pound. i want to not fret about certain clothes. i want to boost energy levels. i'm at a time in my life when a lot of things are going to be changing and huge live events are going to take place. i want to be in my best health for all these events, so that what i am going to do. i've tried logging calories, logging exercise, dieting..all that stuff is great for about a month and until real life gets in the way. i saw a quote today saying you're never too busy for your health and i think i really need to keep telling myself that. so today, from april 19, 2011 forward..i won't be too busy.
