Whitters Gettin’ Healthy

Today my lower body feels like its on fire. I know it’s because I’m not used to exercising. So I took it pretty easy today and only did about a half hour of walking and a half hour of my other stuff. My upper body is starting to react to the weights and such too, so I’m sure in no time it’ll hurt just as much. Just gotta get through the initial shock and then I’ll be okay. Need to make sure also that I’m not overdoing it in my desire to make a difference in my life. I won’t be able to do anything if I push too hard and end up hurting myself.

I’m also feeling the no caffeine thing. I’ve had a head ache for most of today, and I just feel run down (like I normally do when I haven’t had caffeine in a long time). But today is day 10 without it. I’m super proud of myself too, since for those 10 days, as I sit and type at my computer there is a half full 12 pack of Crush Orange Soda sitting by my feet. It’s been mocking me the past couple days, but I’ve resisted. I’m thinking of trying to work it in somehow where I can have a bit of soda every once in a while (I like diet sodas, but even though they have no calories, its not good to drink them a bunch). I’ll have to see. I don’t want to just completely deprive myself of soda, since I don’t really like coffee and only sometimes like tea it’s pretty much my only source of heavy caffeine.
