Day 1.
I begin to noticed my joints and my muscles were aching a lot more than usual. The only exercises I usually do is perhaps 7000 steps a day. Sometimes I jog in place also. I use to take Motrin but I got tired of taking pills so I just sort of deal with the aching muscles in my legs. During past few weeks I begin to notice my knees beginning to hurt. I'm not sure if it stems from the jogging or not but I'm just tired of aching and feel my body just needs a cleanse. Of course I'm hoping to lose weight as well. I also noticed over the past few months I've been unhappy, however, I'm not sure why, I just can't seem to grasp happiness, which is really strange for me - I have got to shake that mood.
So far I'm not experiencing any headaches or anything, I think that's because my New Year's resolution was to give up coffee/tea/sodas for 3 months. So I had already experienced all of those nasty caffeine withdrawals.
My weight this morning was 176.
It's 3pm at work and I've already downed 40oz of water and almost 32oz of LA along with 3 cups of tea (lemon tea & spearmint tea). I'm not hungry but I'm so accustom to having something in my mouth. I now understand why smokers who are trying to stop smoking have to have something in their hands. For me it's my mouth.
Gosh, all of this water has made me a constant in the bathroom, I seem to be going every 10 min
I won't complain, I guess it's a good thing.
I'm hoping to lose 12 - 15 lbs on this journey and get down to a size 10 or 12p but I'm really hoping the aches will stop.
Other than my friend, I haven't told anyone in the office about what I'm doing, I figure they will find out eventually, I just don't want any negativity flowing my way.
Well, that's it for now, but I will be writing in this journal constantly and checking out others.
Until later.
