Exercising

*Where are my balloons and my party for my two week mark?

As you know, I quit drinking soda on July 20th. I am not sure how long it had been since I last had a soda, so I will just say the 20th. That is the day I decided I would stop drinking soda. That means today it has been two weeks since I officially stopped drinking soda. What I love, is that it was easy, like it always is. I just truthfully and honestly love the taste of Mountain Dew and that is what had me wanting more. Luckily, I never went through the "withdraws". Does this mean I wasn't addicted? Haha

I went to the gym yesterday and worked out for almost an hour. I need to remember to get my running in before I am so tired from walking (fast of course). I only ran for a couple of minutes, but the rest of the time, I was speed walking and working up quite a sweat.

Today, I am planning on doing a lot more running. I am not a runner and honestly, I don't really like running. But, I will do it for a healthier me. I go to the Bubble (that will be what I always call it...aka: the Rec Center). It is not my favorite gym, but it is close and has the necessary equipment to help me on my journey. My little sister and I went to a gym that we both loved. The secret to getting us Bailey's to a gym is a TV! No joke! I know the Rec Center has TV's too, but the other gyms TV's were awesome. Plus, they had a theater room. It was in the dark and played a great movie every day. That is where Heather and I spent most of our time. Doing exercise while watching a great movie makes the time go by super fast. It doesn't seem like an hour or two. It was heaven. There was seriously no motivation needed to go because we could also be "lazy" there (meaning: still being able to watch TV...haha).

At any rate, this journey has only begun. I have already been eating a lot better for a little more than two weeks, plus now I am exercising and being more active. I cant wait to see start seeing the results.
