let's get physical!

let's face it. i'm fat. i'm not freakishly huge and i'm still hot, but a fat, curvy hot. and i know how to rock it. but rocking it is exhausting when there's so much of it to rock. so because i'm exhausted (and because it's getting to be fall, and i find fall ridiculously motivating) i'm gonna get rid of some of it.

i've decided to give up my soda. but not completely (i have to say that b/c i haven't told myself that i'm officially getting rid of it). and i'm drinking more water. someone said that drinking ice cold water with lemon in it helps boost metabolism, and i don't know if that's true, but that's the way i like it anyway, so that is how i shall drink it.

also, i'm off all medication (antidepressants, birth control). when i was on both of them, they made me a mad woman that only had energy enough to lie in bed all day, and i hate that. when all you feel like doing is lying in bed all day, there's something wrong. i like being sane, but i don't want to be sane and in bed all the time. when i was on antidepressants and birth control, the bc canceled out the anti-d so i lay in bed all day b/c i didn't have energy and let my mind wander, which is not a good thing to do when you're CRAZY. so i was miserable thinking about how awful i was, and then had no energy to get up and do something that would take my mind off of how miserable i was. yeah... that just wasn't working for me...

OH! and the only antidepressant that works makes me gain weight like you wouldn't believe (i was on it for two weeks and gained 11 lbs, no change in diet or lifestyle. thank you, pristiq. i still have those lbs so i have even FURTHER to go to get to my ideal weight. you're awesome).

SO those are my reasons. i have a ticker (which is the real reason i'm even writing this blog post; i like it and want to post it here, but i figured i should give a reason that it randomly popped up). i'm on myfirnesspal.com so if you wanna get on there or are already on there, feel free to friend me (vlsewell)!
