I feel like over the last week, I have hit a slump. I feel like I'm in the doldrums. I can't really say why I'm feeling this way, but I can say that I'm tired of it and would like to find some way to escape it. I tried to start a workout DVD today, but found that I can't do that when I haven't eaten anything yet that day. So that was a no-go. But there are plans for weight-loss in the near future. I'm tired of carrying around this extra weight and it's about time that something was done about it. So Jake and I will be starting to eat healthier and we're going to do more cardio exercise (outside if the weather permits). We got a Bowflex from a friend and I'm going to look up some different exercises online (since the thing didn't come with a workout book or anything). We have a plan to change our lives and lifestyles. I just hope that we stick to this plan so that we can escape our doldrums.
