So, I have decided that I am gonna start trying to exercise more often.. This decision has come after months and months of telling myself that I needed to do something to lose weight. It came to a head the other day though, when I was cleaning though house the other day and i was wearing a crappy shirt that was a bit too small and some of my belly was showing. My mom called to me to help her with something, and when i came in she was like "geez Jess, gained a little weight have we? You weigh more then I did when i was in my 20's." Now any of you who have ever seen my mom might realize this is pot calling kettle black, and I was a little taken aback that my mom was calling me fat. I don't think I am fat, yeah i need to lose a little weight just like a lot of people do, but I still consider myself in the healthy range weight-wise.
I have swam since I was in 2nd grade, but now that i work at the beach, and never get in the disgusting water there, I have stopped swimming completely. Given this, I figure I need to do some form of exercise. Therefore, I have made a resolution (lets see how long it lasts) to attempt to run at least 30 min everyday after I get home from school, and to cut back on the snacking after dinner and in between meals. I know I will slip here and there, but hopefully by making an effort to do something I can make at least a small change instead of just talk.
Oh well, who knows?
