I've only started my exercises today and already I feel better.   
I know it seems silly from just one measly day... But I can feel slightly healthier than before. Not to mention that sense of accomplishment.

Are you retarded?

Working out releases endorphins. They make you feel good, like sex, or music.

Also, what do you think of my exercise plan a few comments below?
The only reason I'm even bothering to ask anyone on here is because I wouldn't really know otherwise if my diet/exercise plans are good or not... I just made a quick thing with foods I know are healthy in small balanced portions, and then some random exercises to just get me working out because I normally don't work out.

Lose the smoothies. Any and all processed sugars are bad for weight loss. Add some uncondimented, roasted or dry-grilled chicken breast to your diet. You need roasted nuts too (peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds, w/e), about 1/2 cup every now and then, the vegetable fat and protein in them will fuel you. Tuna is good, try and mixing it with the salad. Add a bit more fruit to the mix, especially in the morning or as snacks, never as dinner.

Cycle your routine. Work out your upper thorax area one day, work your abs the next and finally your legs. This allows for your muscles to rebuild themselves after each workout session. Cardio every day, the jogging/walking/swimming/biking.

Always warm up with a 5 min walk, then some jumping jacks, or something low-impact, but constant.

For leg workout, do lunges and half sit-ups, achieving only a 90° angle in your knees.

Just my opinion, but I'd add some arm and chest exercise. Push-ups, bench press, military press.
After some time, you may try jogging at a slower pace, and for less time but with a weighted backpack and maybe weights on your hands. This burns calories like crazy, but if you overdo it you'll get hurt bad.

This will be a great help, thanks.

BTW, drink lots of water and breathe correctly. Oxygen+water=calorie burning. Also, don't tuck in your belly, breathe expanding it and not your rib-cage. If you're embarrassed that it may look big, just remember that in some weeks, it'll be reduced greatly.

Always stretch, especially your abdomen if you want to firm it up.
When jogging, the breathing pattern is 1,2,3 steps-inhale, 1,2, exhale. Keep a rhythm.

Anyway, you're welcome. I'm just putting personal experience and med school knowledge to use. For inspiration, in one month of a similar routine (with a bit less strict diet) I lost about 30 pounds.

Well, those are just stretches. You add the chest exercise I already mentioned, after you stretch.
