Working Out

Okay I need to admit I am one of those people that say that it can’t be hard to loose weight. All you need to do is eat right and exercise. Well was I wrong!!! I recently started eating healthy and exercising with my mom. It is fun to have a partner to workout with, but when you see the infomercials on the TV. with you will lose 50 pounds in two weeks. Well that seems highly impossible right now. I just recently ended Acting camp a couple days ago and I was dancing every day, so that was my exercise. I didn’t need to do anymore exercise in that day, but now that that is over. Now I need to lose weight. Well I don’t want to lose weight, just keep the same weight and grow taller, but I don’t think that that will happen anytime soon, so now my mom and I are working out for a half hour doing some type of exercise. Right now we are doing yoga.

But then it comes to eat right and not over eating and watching the portion you want to eat and the portion you should eat. Well with eating healthy it isn’t just what you eat it is how much, and what is in it. Like today we had chicken tenders (home-made), but instead of frying we grilled them with the breading on them, and they were still good!!! Most people think that they need to give up good food while they “eat right”, but I don’t look at it like that. Ya you do need to stop eating 5 pieces of pizza every Friday night, and when a dessert comes out take 1 piece not 3. I know it isn’t easy and I am slowly figuring that out. That you can’t always eat when you want to. For me when I am bored I want to eat and I do. Yes most of the time it is healthy snacks, but I am still hungry and eat more and more and it isn’t healthy for me to do that, even though it is a healthy food. This afternoon before lunch I offered something that I wanted and really liked was hot dogs in egg noodles……All I got was the ‘you want to lose weight and you want me to make that’ look. I wanted it, but then I realized that is two lunches in one meal.

Now when ever some goes oh I am trying to lose weight. I know how hard it is to do and I don’t know if I could ever do it without my mother to help me through exercising when there is a part I don’t want to do.
