Not so bad, Not so good

So yesterday wasn't exactly the Amazing, "NEW ME" start I wanted but I have to say I wasn't terrible. I didn't fall back into the 'oh i messed up Ill just start next week' mode I've been in in the past. Like I said I didn't necessarily have egg whites, salads, and fresh salmon, but on the same note I didn't have a mcgriddle, m&ms, and every other artery clogging, booty jiggling other thing I could have had! As far as working out, im guilty of not lacing up the running shoes once again. Ughh I feel ashamed. However I did start something I plan to keep up with. My brother and mom have both been doing it or had been doing it for a while, so I decided why the heck not. So now every night before I go to bed I have been and plan to do sit-ups and push-ups. It's actually pretty great. I'm sore as all mighty today and was yesterday, but that just means its working. Plus that is one of the things I will have to work on for the military is doing a number of both in 2 minutes each. I started out at 25 for both sunday night and did 30 each last night. I think I will stick with 30 for a few days until my arms are a little less sore. I like doing htis too because it gives me a chance to get some good stretching in after each set. I may be hitting a new gym on Thursday so we will see how that goes, still gotta get a job to be able to get a membership, but they have cheap day passes and I have a friend who goes there so I'm gonna go check it out. Well that's enough for now, I think I'm gonna go for a jog to the mailbox and see from there :D.

New Start

Alright so I know I've gone through this before. The whole I was a slacker for a long time but now I'm serious about it spiel! OK well some things have gone down and basically I'm ready for a whole new start! In fact I'm so ready for a new start that I recently MOVED to California. That's right drove right across the states! Basically I moved to get out of a place that just made me sick, its not the place itself and definitely not my family, it was the high school. More so the people I had thought to be friends. While I can't say they all turned on me lets just stick with the quote "Who needs enemies when you have friends like mine" yeah that sounds about right. But I'm moving on so who needs them right!
That being said I want to be the best me I can be and with that comes wanting to eat and be healthy, with the ultimate goal of joining the military, hopefully the NAVY but the Coast Guard is still a top choice. So basically I AM going to hold myself to a higher standard, put my nose down and run! I am determined to do this! I know it will take a while to lose all the weight I need to, but I also know that as I'm doing it I'm becoming a healthier, better me. So wish me luck, keep me focused, and check back for my progress. Thank you guys
