I want to start exercising five days a week.

Right now, I've been trying to do it three times a week. But I want to see what would happen if I started doing it every weekday.

I started exercising to see how it would affect my mood. It's helped a little with my mood; it's also given me more energy.

It's not helping me so much body-wise, though. That's mainly because I'm still on my fast-food-and-vending-machine diet, LOL. They do say that diet an exercise go hand in hand. So I know I need to do something about my eating habits. If I get a snack out of a vending machine, it should be something healthy. The next tine I head to McDonald's, I need to get a salad. Better yet, I should just avoid these things altogether, get off my lazy ass, and cook something.

The thing is, I don't know where to begin with that, you know? Nutrition experts say that you should cut out this and measure that, that you should eat this kind of fish and that kind of chicken and these types of fruits and vegetables and so on. Can't just be low-fat and low calorie pure and simple anymore--we have to take in a percentage of this and a percentage of that and go through all these damnedable changes just to eat!

I don't know--I guess I'll start small and work my way through. I've already cut out most sodas and caffeinated coffee and started drinking things with no caffeine and no sugar. I want to start incorporating more home-cooked meals...if only my budget would allow. LOL :p
