I've started a weight loss journal, emo_eater. It will just be a place where I record what I've eaten, how much I have (or haven't) exercised, and how I'm feeling about my weight loss journey. I feel doomed to failure already. But, I'm not going to let that stop me from trying. I must try. Anyway, feel free to friend it, if you'd like.

We went to the mall this afternoon. Chris took the kids to the play area while I had my hair cut. I told her to use her creative initiative. She didn't cut it as short as I had expected, but I really like what she did. Shorter in back, longer in the front. She said the way she cut it, it should flip out in the back with only a quick blow dry. We'll see how it looks tomorrow when I fix it. Connor fell asleep in the car on the way home and slept for about an hour more once we got home. Now he is wide awake.

I've developed a new habit of playing on my computer while I sit in the recliner and listen to the TV. How much stimuli do I need?! At least I am not snacking, right? The diet is going ok so far, for just the first day. Tomorrow we start again :)Also, tomorrow I have a doctors appointment for a physical. I'm dreading it, for some unknown reason. I have four issues to talk with him about:

-my sore foot
-a skin tag I have on my neck that I'd like removed. (Connor likes to hold it and tug on it. It's painful).
-a cholesterol test. My dad was in his 30's when he was diagnosed with high cholesterol. I'll be 31 next week.
-a healthy weight loss plan.

If we can get the issue of my sore foot resolved, I'll be in much better shape to exercise. As it is, any running, walking or jumping (like Jazzercise) just kills me. I can't really even play tag with the kids. I can bike or swim, though. Right now, my foot is still sore from the walk I took to Target earlier today. I wonder what's causing the pain.
