For the last week I have been having some strange pains in my chest. I also have not been feeling well and I have now figured out why. At least I think so. I need to lose weight, not with diet pills or some miracle cure, but with exercise. I had to go take pictures yesterday of houses for my class. I walked at least a mile and I felt great. The pain in my chest went away and so did some of my other issues. I went to the store to shop today, so I got some more walking in and tomorrow I’m going to take more pictures.

I had been lazy when it came to my exercise the last few months, but now I’m being reminded that I need to get out there and move. The treadmill sucks as I get bored with it. I think it’s because I have to stare at a wall. Once I move it’s going where I can see the TV at least. That way I can keep up my walking all winter.

I love clothes and soon I know I’ll be able to fit into clothes that I couldn’t before like the Baby Phat Clothing line. I love the look of it, but I probably can’t get away with wearing some of it anymore, I’m still going to buy something once I lose the weight, even if it’s just to wear around the house. Of course I think I could get away with the sporty line they have. I can wear it to the gym.

Right now I just have to content myself with their jewelry and other items that big gals like me can wear. My little sister can fit into their clothes though and she loves them too. I think they have a great brand. Anyway I am really hoping to lose weight so I can not only fit into baby phat clothes, but some of the other name brands as well. Of course I probably will just end up shopping at walmart because I’m a poor collage student. At least until I find a real job.

I was talking to an old classmate of mine today and she told me about a great product she used to lose weight, it’s called Curvelle and she lost over 50lbs with it. I’m happy for her, but I always find myself wondering what the after effect of some of these pills are. I know some people who have used them and have had nothing happen to them, others though have gotten very sick.

I’ve thought about using them before in fact while cleaning today I found two hoodia bottles that I never opened. I don’t think I will be using them because of the diabetes and all that. I don’t need to make myself even more sick.

In a few of my classes we have been talking about how important it is to have good interior design in drug treatment centers. If you think about it the center needs to have a calming effect so that people are less likely to go crazy because of withdraws. It makes sense to me as I have seen a few people do very strange things when trying to kick the drug addiction.

I think this is one reason I try not to take to many pills at once. I don’t’ want to have to go though that. Many people are telling me to check out pills for my depression and I have considered it. I just really would like to be off of a few before I add more. I don’t think I would get addicted to anything as I’m not the type, but you never know. For anyone still worried about me, if I start to get worse I promise I will get on pills. Right now I’m trying something else. Someone told me to get outside more as sunshine helps make you happy, so I took the dog for a 20 minute walk since I’m trying to lose weight also. I think I’m going to do it again tomorrow I’m in a great mood right now!

Every week I do a weigh in on my diabetes blog. I’m working on losing weight and so far I thought I was doing okay. I haven’t gained weight, but I haven’t lost any. The weird part about this is that I can fit into jeans I use to wear a few years ago when I was smaller. I wasn’t able to do so back in January so I thought I was doing well. I got on the scale today and no change.

I know this is possible, I gained muscle but I also do a monthly measurement to see if I’ve lost inches and I really didn’t, at least not in my waist area. So now I’m very confused and wondering what is going on. How can I fit into jeans that are 4 sizes smaller then what I am weiring now? Yes what I am wearing now is big on me and I should get rid of them soon, but I don’t have the money yet. I have 3 pairs of the smaller ones and 4 of the big ones. I can wear all of them right now. I just don’t get it. It’s like I’m in some weird universe where I shrink depending on the jeans I put on!
