• Life...

  So, I thought I'd write one of my rare "real life" posts. 

  As I said before, I'm going to this place called Physician's Weight Loss Center.  They had me on a "pre diet" diet for a while.  All that consists of is cutting back on calories, eating healthier, getting more water, etc.  On that I lost 6 pounds.  Most of it is probably "water" weight.  But I can definitely tell a difference.  My clothes are a bit looser and I feel better already.

  Now I'm on the first part of the main diet.  For a week I can only have 500 calories a day.  Everyone keeps warning me that probably isn't a good idea, but this is physician designed and supervised.  They also make you take multi vitamins, EFAs (essential fatty acids), and protein supplements.  You can even get vitamin b-12 shots if you want. 

  I've only been on the 500 calorie part for about 2 days.  It really isn't so bad lol...the only part that sucks is having to get 64 ounces of water a day (I hate water). 

  Then after this week it only goes up to 700 calories a day lol...still not much, but I'm trying to lose about 70 pounds.  Well, now it's only 65.  Yay me lol...

  Once I get used to the 700 calorie a day diet I'm going to start exercising a little.  They don't want to you to do a lot of exercise (obviously, cause you're only getting 700 calories a day), but they said a little bit is good as long as I don't do any weight training.  Once I actually get this weight off I'm going to get a personal trainer at the YMCA and start weight training, because I need to build some muscle.  I don't want to end up flabby lol...guys usually freak out any time I say something about muscle.  I guess they assume I'm going to get big and bulky like a guy, but that's not going to happen lol...I've asked a trainer about that and he said girls just aren't made like guys so unless I work out 24/7 and take steroids or something, I should be fine lol...and thats good, because I like looking like a girl lol...

  Other than trying to get in shape, I've been working a lot lately.  Nothing particularly interesting has happened.  Just your typical calls.  I'm pretty busy till the 11th.  I'm going to try to come up with something fun to do lol...but there isn't much around here.
