Healthy???

I have changed my eating habits....I am a healthy eater. It's for the birds. I tell you what.....holy cow. I did it to help me lose this last little bit of weight. But, you know. I'm not doing any better this way than I was before. Even with the exercising and tracking my calories burned vs. calories eaten. I've only gone over once in three weeks and that was because I wasn't home and it's so stinking hard to find fast food that is healthy. Anyway...I understand the idea behind it, but man! It's hard to find foods that aren't bad for you too. Everything is either loaded with too much fat, too many carbs (the bad kind), too much sugar, etc. etc. etc. It's almost like unless you eat straight vegetables....you're screwed. Don't get me wrong....I love vegetables. i eat a lot of them . BUT.....I like pasta....and I like cheese...but it's loaded with fat. So, my fat tracker tells me I've eaten too much fat for the day if I eat too much of it. Sigh. I totally broke down last night and went to the Shake Out and ate an entire mixed berry shake. It was soooooo good. Fresh strawberries and blueberries. Oh my gosh. It tasted wonderful!! (And no, I didn't go over....I calculated it in pathetically enough) And, I've found that my taste buds screw my diet up as well. If I liked fish, I'd do better....if I liked to drink milk....I'd do better. BUT....I don't like either. And, Jaysen is a beef man, so he gets tired quickly with all of the chicken I've been cooking. It's like a no win situation. So, even with the cardio and strength training exercises I've been doing, by the time I get to dinner....it's over. I think you have to gain 10 lbs. just for browning up the burger in the fry pan. Oh well.

I'm going to start running. I despise running. But I've gained all the weight back that I had lost. Too much sitting around associated with office work. I've even cut back on soda and it did nothing. I don't eat much candy either. So I guess I'm down to exercising. Crap.

Doesn't exercising suck??? I mean...seriously...how boring is it?

I really don't understand those people that say they get a high from running; that it's this great exciting thing to do for fun. Huh?
