Journey Away from the Bell

I was never the healthiest person, but I definitely used to be better than I am now. Gym was a requirement in school, so I  was forced to be active even when I didn't want to be. I was always home for dinner, where my parents had at least somewhat healthy meals ready for me. My sleep schedule used to... well, exist.

These days I live in the drive thru, spending too much money and eating too many calories. I sleep too much. The last time I actually worked out was in my freshman year of high school.
People all around me are jumping on the Herbalife craze and losing weight and getting in shape, while I watch others blow up like balloons. In fear of being the latter, I've decided to get myself together.

My goal is not to lose weight-- my goal is to take back control of my body.

A flat stomach and no 'love handles' would be lovely, though.

I want my energy levels to improve, and I don't want to be out of breath from doing literally anything physical. I want to feel like myself again.

I'm probably going to try the Herbalife thing just to see what all the hype is about. I will set up some sort of workout regimen (I haven't put any real thought into that, so advice is more than welcome), and, as much as it pains me to say it, cutting back on Taco Bell. I'm not going to say I won't ever eat it again, because let's be honest, Taco Bell is life. But having it three times a week might be actually killing me.

So join me on my journey away from the Bell, if you will. Advice, criticisms, anything is welcome. I have no idea what I'm doing so I'll accept any kind of help.

I hope to see you soon!
