thankyou for the welcome ladies!!
it feels good to be back. haha cg im in no way saying i haven't fallen off the wagon along the way. its just a lot easier to get back on now that im not constantly weighing myself...i hope this works out for me though. i was planning on booking an appointment at the gym where i can have my body fat measured, so even if my weight is the same, at least i know my body fat is decreasing....lol i feel like i need to work up the courage to do that
i was doing really well with my eating and exercising for the months of feb and march but once easter hit, i totally binged on chocolate. it was also the time when all my major assignments were due and i was prepping for finals so i want exercising anymore. i feel that ive gained a bit of weight because one of my workout shirts isnt fitting as loosely as it used to but im trying to get back into my workout routine.
my exam went well last Saturday but i was sooo hooked on caffeine this semester so ive committed to not drinking coffee anymore. since Saturday i haven't had any coffee, so needless to say i haven't exactly been functional all week. id literally sleep for 12 or 13 hrs...get up eat breakfast shower and watch movies check out whats going on online then go back to sleep. it was a pretty miserable week. i didn't do any workouts obviously b/c my head was pounding but thankfully i think the worst is over. i went to a body pump class yesterday and did 20 mins on the bike afterwards. hopefully i can get into another consistent workout routine.i cant wait to get back into running too. i need to get my endurance up!
sooo grad school had to be put on hold because i couldnt figure out what i wanted to do. also i thought i had more time to have things figured out but applications for external awards were due the 3rd week of school. i was still trying to wrap my head around the classes i was taking so i had to forgo any grad plans for next year. i am looking into it now though. i figure it worked out for the best. ill work this year, pay off student loans (hopefully) then start in fall 2011 hopefully. admittedly ive been kind of lax in looking up different programs and i need to get that out of the way before i find a job.
so anyway im thinking my workout yesterday was a good motivator to start eating healthy again. after my workout i came home and had some rice, baked potatoes and peas. and a small salad.
so far today ive had a banana and dry raisin bran. hopefully ill go out for a run at some point today....
my mom had made brownie cheesecake! damn it!!
