Great workout, Killer headache, and issues with food oh my!

Here I thought that the hardest part of starting a healthy lifestyle would be the exercise part. Since I know me so well (or at least I thought I did) I just knew I would dread going to exercise. I could not have been so wrong. I looked forward to going today and now I am looking forward to going tomorrow. I can not do everything that the rest of the class is doing yet, but I know that as I keep working hard I will get there. The killer thing for me is not even drinking water. I just replaced all my Pepsi and Cokes during the day with water plus a little more. No problem. Food is a big issue. When I say issue, what I mean is I am having a problem eating more than a couple times a day. Before I would not eat until mid-afternoon and sometimes it would be dinner time before I ate. When I did it would be a small meal, big dinner, and a couple of snacks before bed. Sunday was the only day of the week that I had a normal schedule. I would eat breakfast that day, lunch, snack, dinner, and another snack. I will be ok once I get used to the planning, shopping, and preparing ahead of time. I was bad about stopping at the store and picking up that day’s dinner to fix. As far as today goes the workout was killer, my legs are on fire. I really did enjoy it even if I do not look like it. I just get crazy frustrated that my back gives me such problems that I can not do everything everyone else is doing all the time. I have had a terrible headache since about 2pm and no clue why. I am pretty sure that there is no way that no caffeine or sugar today could already be causing said headache. Well, tomorrow I am going to try to get some walking done in the morning and then butt kicking at 6.

I have to say something about my new shoes. I never pay more than $10 for my shoes, and most of the time they are given to me. I knew that I needed new shoes in order to exercise so I gave in and went and bought some. I of course tried to get the cheapest shoe they had in the store. So my wonderful husband gave me this pair and told me to try them on. I did, and let me tell you, I felt like I was walking on clouds. They were awesome. So when I asked the price he changed the subject. Needless to say they were $70!!!! See I would have never tried on shoes that cost that much. He tricked me and now I was in love with them. So guess what? I bought them. I have to admit they are great, and they have roll bars in them. Who would have thought shoes had roll bars, but you know what for that price they should do the work for you.
