Turning over a new leaf

With less than a year and a half away from graduation and the wedding *insert girlish screams here* I am in desperate need to start getting healthier. After 16 years of being vegetarian I became quite used to eating whatever I wanted and not having to worry about the extra calories. A majority of the meat substitutes I ate consisted of high protein, and low calories. But now that I am off the wagon I have noticed that I have been putting on some weight since I began eating meat again...

Starting tomorrow I am going to start a cardio/strength training program to try and loose some of my carnivore weight. For the first few weeks I am going to begin with basic stretching and yoga and 30 to 45 minutes of cardio. I will be also starting the ever so popular P90X program. I have used this program in the past but unfortunately due to the high amount of pushups, many of the exercises have to be modified because of my wrist issues. I am going to take my before pictures tonight *gulp* and if in 30 days I notice a difference I will post them.

On a side note my poor puppies have been so sick today! The vet believes its a reaction to their vaccinations and I am praying she is right because I hate seeing them so miserable. Thankfully I have an amazing man in my life to keep a smile on my face while things are not at their best...
