Day 1- very first blog

Well... this is my very first blog, especially one about trying to lose weight or getting in shape...

Here is a little background:
My name is Imani, I'm a 17 1/2 year old girl. I don't consider myself fat at all and if I even mention me being on a diet or trying to slim down people will say that I am nuts. I'm not fat nor am I overly skinny. I do in fact love my body. But if I am more toned I feel as if I'll be more energetic with sexy body for adulthood haha. :)

I personally feel that a young woman such as myself needs to be more active. And should eat healthier foods to stay at least the way I am. I do not want to be 25 years old and not able to touch my toes. Or be 20 and can't even walk a mile. I reallized this only a few days ago when I counld't wear a pair of pants which were a size 7. I don't want to go down a pants size but just simply be able to fit all of the clothes that I have now.

Anywho.... Dieting and Fitness.

For my diet it is nothing special I just go off of how much calories I am intaking in the morning, lunch, afternoon snacks, and diner.
I want to eat a total of 1420 at the most and 1400 calories at the least. I think it is okay if I go over a bit because I know that I will lose at least 200 of those calories... Idk if that's good or not.

This is just something I realize I need to be doing. For those saying I'm too young to be on a diet. I believe, especially since I have ulcers, I need to take extra precousions in the way I eat. I use to over eat... I use to believe that soon as your stomach wants to give up and explode then you are finish eating. And I would do this 3 times a day.

So far eating so little compared to before is killer hard work. But this is only day 1 and I survived and I'm making it. I actually feel much better already within one day. :)

Exercising for me is nothing too new. I would usually exercise every tuesday for an hour. I would go to yoga club. Because of my flexibility and me being able to put my leg over my head I thought. " Hey why not" So for now on, especially since the yoga instructor got knocked up, I do yoga to myself in my own home. I plan to do this at most everyday for atleast 30 minutes. I want to see instant results. And I already feel it in my energy.


So for those who acually took the time to read this thanks. Leave any kind of comments if you can... Remember this is my very first blog. I don't know what it should be about, how long it should be. I'm just pouring out my thoughts, experiences, and what not. I can not really express this to anyone else because they might think I'm insane for doing what I am trying to do right now. Which is trying to slim down and stay down....
