gettin healthy.
So, i joined a gym. Curves to be exact and today I had my first workout. One leg is more sore then the other. But everything else is doing pretty good. It was a good workout. Basicallly i want to look hott for prom and to go off to university (mostly the second). the first couple weeks im not going to change my diet or worry about it too much. They say not to because your body can go into shock. Also I've already started (about a month ago) eating more vegetarian and such so i'm just going to continue eating like i have. Then in a few weeks go for the major changes.
I had the day off of school so i went to this place about 30-45 minutes away. Called Colasanti's (google colasanti's topical gardens) they grow plants and such but also have a petting zoo and mini-golf and such. It's fun. So my 2 friends (both guys, 1 gay 1 bi and trans MTF) it was supa fun.

Theres nothing like the burn
Theres nothing like the burn after a good workout. To me it kinda says "yay I got off my ass and I feel like i have something to show for it!"
That place sounds really fun. I love petting zoos.

Umm...
I don't know if I'd call Curves a gym, exactly.
Just be careful, a lot of Curves people turn it into more of a quilting circle than an exercise routine, wanting to chit-chat the whole time. Also, that is pretty low-end as far as working out, so I'd definitely make sure to go often. Can you go around for an hour instead of 30?
Also, I don't think that would put your body into shock to start dieting, unless you do some awful starvation, unhealthy diet (Atkins, South Beach, etc.)

Jeff it doesn't look hard
Jeff it doesn't look hard but people under estimate it. You're a male so you'll never know for sure. My curves is pretty empty when I'd go so not much owrry about chit chatting. And yes I've read many sites where it says that you can go into a mini type of shock if you work out and start major changes in your diet. And you're less likely to stick to it.
YOu can go around for an hour if you so chose and can go more than 3 times a week. You're also suppose to do stuff on your "off days" aerobic perferably.

I've been cutting out some
I've been cutting out some caffine. I tried going cold turkey and it didn't work well. So i'm cutting down rather than out. Until i can cut out all the way. (it's how i handle my stress).
