Off to a good start

I am four days into my life makeover. I went grocery shopping and got some healthy food! My good friend Shalan went with me and helped me along. I have come to discover that just because something says healthy or looks healthy or is known to be healthy doesn't always mean that it is. Like who would have thought that wheat bread is just white bread in disguise? I purchased whole wheat with extra fiber and the weird part is, I LOVE IT! It is soooo good!! I was a strictly white bread only person, but now that I've had this wheat bread, I won't go back. So yeah for a step in the right direction.
I've just finished watching the Biggest Loser episode for this week and sadly O'Neal was sent home. He continues to do so well at home and without trainers that I am motivated even more to get out there. I am still struggling to make time for a work-out but I know that I need to do it! I've been walking a lot more at work though. I used to take the golfcart everywhere and now I walk most places around property. I even went up to the third floor of a building and wasn't out of breath. That is HUGE for me.
I've been eating better so far. I went out for lunch but had a healthy salad that was only 8 points. It had grilled chicken, guacamole, sourcream and crunched up chips on it. So yummy!! I have been making myself eat breakfast every single day. Orange juice and oatmeal are my constants currently. They get me off to a good start. I usually eat breakfast between 9am and 10am so around 12pm I eat a snack like a string cheese or a fruit roll up (which are only 1 point a piece!) I eat lunch around 2pm and then I eat another snack around 4pm (yogurt usually 1point!) then i eat dinner when I get home from work. I read that eating every 2 hours keeps your metabolism up, but gosh I feel like a pig. I never used to eat like that. I would eat HUGE meals and be full.
I feel alot better and can't wait to be feel even better. I will be so happy to be done with my medicine, which will happen when I get this weight off.

On the homefront, things aren't much better. Same stuff, different day. I miss my family desperately and wish I could be near them all the time. Its now been over a month since I last spoke to my mom and it doesn't seem like she cares. I try not to let it bother me but sometimes I just can't help it. There is nothing I can do to change that, shes my mom and I love her despite what her jerk of a boyfriend tells her about me. Work is work, blah blah blah. I'm ready for a change, but will hold off on that until I am ready to move the new me to North Carolina in a year or so.
