Today is my first full day of diet & exercise. So far, so good. I had a very small amount of whole-grain cereal and a light yogurt. Last night I had a chance to exercise before it started raining... I walked and did some intervals of jogging and short sprints. I think what I'll do is do at least 20 minutes (I'm aiming for 30-40, but I'm not going to get down on myself if I don't hit 30 or 40 every day) of aerobic exercise, and 10-15 minutes of weight training each day. I think that walking with the jogging intervals will be good, then hopefully I can work up to longer jogging intervals... right now I'll just tell myself, "Okay, now we're going to jog to the end of that block..." and then push myself a little bit farther than I think I can go... then walk again. I feel more energized today, but that might just be because I overslept this morning, haha. Woke up at 8:30. I'm going to have to start setting the alarm if Kurtis is going to be going into work early.

I took my measurements last night and I was appalled! Not too long ago, my thigh size was the same size as my waist?! Sheesh. I know that I'll never look like a supermodel, I just don't have the right body type... but I can look better than I do now, and I'm determined to get back into shape... I'm too young to feel as old as I do now... and I'm sure most of it has to do with my lack of exercise. Ugh.

Well, I have to get back to work............ Kurt's mom is coming tonight and we're all going out to dinner for an early bday celebration for Chris and Kari. I'm going to stick to eating healthy, though... I'm going to be good. I already had my first test this morning... the survey crew had donuts this morning in the lunch room.. they had a Boston Creme in there, but I didn't eat it! I was good. I brought carrots with me to munch on in case I get hungry.
