Great things abound!!

I am in a stellar mood right now, though I'm also stressin' out a bit.

Stresses:
-Car payment
-Rent payment
-Saving money

Now on to the stellar stuff......

I'm Better

When I first started this blog, I was super, SUPER down in the dumps and, after being sick for a few days (head colds SUCK!!), and having my hair newly colored, I'm OK.

So here's the real me and what's been happening lately:

The Leaner Brain

I just recently read this article on the brains of obese/overweight women and leaner women. It's a very interesting article, but seems a bit of a bummer.

Doc Appt

So I went to the doctors yesterday and got my bloodwork done.

Lathrop Mud Run

One of the things that spurred me to get this blog going is the Lathrop Mud Run (link below).

First

I've been thinking about doing this blog for a while.....a long while.

This will basically be my chronicle of my weight, how I'm dealing with it, losing weight and fun/awesome/amazing/incredible things like shopping and what delicious, but healthy, foods there are. Lately, I haven't been feeling well after I eat crappy food (IE: Mexican food, Chinese foods, fast foods, etc). Granted, I don't eat a lot of those foods, but I just don't feel good after it. I've been trying to cut down on my bread and sugar intakes, but I'm not doing well at it.

Earlier, after going out with a friend, I was so hungry on the way home that I decided to get Panda Express....and I feel like shit right now. I need change and I need to stop this. I am very overweight and I'm scared of health risks like diabetes, high cholesterol and many, many other things. Not to mention the fact that simple things like shopping, finding a comfortable seat in public and the averted looks from men I get. Life hasn't been great these past years, so I intend to change this a bit. If I get followers, awesome. If I don't, I don't. I just want to feel better, look better and be better.
