Wow! Thank you everyone!
I do try and drink a lot more water than I used to. I went to the doctor about two weeks ago and she told me I am pretty dehydrated. She had a point, I used to barely drink a glass of water a day. However, I have been changing that. I now drink 3-4 (I'm trying to push that up) and have not bought any soda. Also, I have completely cut out 'fast food', so anything that I can buy that isn't a healthier sandwich from Subway or similar. I love, love, love, Panera but I will go overboard! The exercising part is rough for me though. As much as I love to run, I have terribly flat feet and will get shin splits, cramps, back pains, etc, if I even run for more than 10 minutes. I've tried insoles, wrapping my foot, everything. So I go for the stationary bike or the elliptical because they are the only cardio machines that I can do that won't hurt my feet so much. I'm only 5'0 but I have a D cup, so I look bigger than I really am so I'm not going near any machines for the upper body.
I'm going to start doing Pilates everyday in the morning from now on and keep on with the strength training machines for my legs.
Thank you for all the support! Really, I came home after being at the gym and this is making me smile so much!
