This week has been an experience. Haven't really weighed myself, so I'm not sure quite if it's working.
But I feel better, I'm not constantly hungry, so I guess that's good.
I have found that:
Eating healthy = expensive :-\ It's worth it, but it's cost us a lot.
My hair looks a lot better, possibly from the added protein?
Walking 2-3x per day might not be the hot cardio I need, but at least it gets me out of the house.
It's been kind of a game - stick to the splits and feel healthy! But at the same time, I feel like "seriously? I need more protein? I just want pasta...boo." Or, "I do NOT want to go for another walk today. I'm too {insert excuse here} and I just don't wanna." I promised myself I would do better, and I am. My motivation is...well, I'm not sure. Just that I'm tired of being fat.
It's funny though, going to the gym (lifting + little cardio) has been the most rewarding; the one thing I look forward to and think about in my off time (how I can do better, what to improve, what to change). I never would have thought that!

Day Three
I know, not starting day 1 = weird. I've finally gotten off my lazy ass and decided to eat right and exercise. I'm not going to rely on a fad diet and junk to help me lose weight. Today I'm accountable to myself, and that's it. No more being a total fatass and sitting around all day.
Things I have learned:
Good food makes ALL the difference. I'm not as hungry the last few days.
Weight training is HARD. Really hard. I think it will work.
Goals:
40/35/25 split c/p/f. Try to balance within meals and all day.
Exercise 4x per week. This week - twice gym, once cardio (and will do another tonight).
I've finally committed to myself and I'm going to do it. Updates whenever I need to, or when I learn something interesting
