Hello all, I'm on my 15th day straight of MFP and I wanted to share how far I've come already.
About a month ago I was having very bad mood swings and was feeling depressed, so much that I was going to consider seeing a doctor to get on medication. I hate taking medication and I could already guess what the doctor would tell me. So I decided to just stop being lazy about my life and make some changes.
First, I stopped my daily visit to Starbucks and started drinking about 6 glasses of water a day at least. Also incorporated more vegetables and fruit in my diet.
After about two weeks I decided to start tracking my calories on MFP and exercising at least 5 days a week. a mix of Zumba and walks around my neighborhood plus a hike.
I'm on my 15th day and I can honestly say I feel a BIG change. No mood swings. I'm sleeping better. I can wake up in the morning with energy. And best of all I feel HAPPY!! I'm so glad I joined and I can't wait to start seeing changes in my physical appearance. I hope anyone that reads this will add me as a friend because it's a long road and I'll need motivation!
