When school is done and I have more time
I really want to delete my entire blog, then start over. I really want my blog to be 99% personal, rather than reblogs. And really track as much as possible about my health journey n such.
Is that silly?
Just made cinnamon rice crispy treats
because I have a lot of hw to do.
Makes sense right?
No time for anything but hw this week.
saaaaaaaaad.
At least I turn 22 a week from today (!!!)
Wait...
I just realized that I don’t really like the gym. And that I’m very unlikely to keep a commitment with something I’m not a huge fan of. Why do I keep trying to get myself to go when I don’t even want to.
I LOVE exercising outdoors, but it’s not that easily accessible from where I am currently living….
I definitely need to go on a hike this weekend. For sure.

Stressful & busy past couple of days!
Right now is my crunch time. Lots of exams and papers due, and finals are very soon so I have to start preparing for those as well.
I haven’t been able to exercise really, and I have been stress eating a little bit, but honestly in comparison to previous years, it’s really not as bad.
Before, when I would hit these times in school I would be at McDonald’s waaaaay too often....

Productive Morning!
Woke up early
Had breakfast (burned myself)
Wrote a 6 page paper
Went to the gym (treadmill - 5 run/5 walk x 2, 2 run/8 walk)
Showered
Now off to school!
While I was writing my paper I kept thinking that I won’t have time to go to the gym and even if I finish early I probably won’t and I can just go later. And while I will also go later, I still made myself go this morning! Once...

Noms.
Breakfast - the regular with melted pb. YUM.
And lunch - popped chickpeas sautéed in olive oil, 2 pieces of rye toast with garlic butter, and a venti soy iced latte.
And then maybe some dill pickle chips. THEY WERE MY ROOMMATES AND SHE OFFERED AND I COULDN’T RESIST. No worries though, only had a couple :)
I was going to go to the gym this morning, but I had an exam in my first class...

GUESS WHO went to the gym twice in one day?!?!?
IT’S ME.
Did you guess right?!
Went tonight again and ran on the treadmill (cause the only one at my gym was actually available for once) and was on for 30 mins. I ran the first mile in 12 mins - pretty sure my fastest mile time ever. Then walked till I got to 2 miles (first 3 mph, then 3.5 mph).
Currently planning on waking up early to go to the gym before class - let’s see if it...

Had a little extra time this morning
so I decided to WORKOUT. Instead of waiting till later and possibly not having time for it, I just laced up and went to the gym.
I did 30 minutes on the elliptical consisting of a 5 min warm up then alternating going hard, recovering every other minute. So sweaty. Love/hate it.
Then planked it out for a bit!

Goal for the day?
Don’t eat even one of those cookies!
Was thinking about them when I woke up, and completely planned on eating 1 or 2 or 67890 but no. I had way too many yesterday. No cookies. None.
Busybusybusy.
For the past two days I have been so busy with school work and various activities. I always fully plan to workout later in the evening, but then it hits 10pm and I just don’t want to at that point! I definitely need to make sure I fit in my workout before 10pm or it won’t happen.
Also, made chocolate chip cookies for my mom’s office and can’t stop taste testing/eating...
Just got so excited for my breakfast tomorrow.

4/8/13 Mini Workout
Only had time to squeeze in a small workout cause it’s very busy week for me, and I have waaaay too much homework to do, but something is better than nothing!
Alternated between jumping jacks, and bodyweight exercises in my room for about 15-20 minutes. Might not sound like much, but I definitely worked up a sweat!

Homework all day in the library!
Brought a lunch with me, but forgot to take a picture. Had pineapple, strawberries, pistachios, and a tuna sandwich. Also, got a soy latte to keep me going. I have some cucumbers and carrots left that I’m saving for later. Super interesting.
Trying to stay here for as long as possible to get a whole bunch done! YAY COLLEGE.

Measurement #2
Waist: 30.5” (-1.5”) Bust: 36” (-2”) Hips: 42” (-1”) Neck: 13.5” Calf: 14” Thigh: 25” (-2”) Arm: 11.5” (-.5”) Stomach: 41” (-2.5”)
Total inches lost: 9.5”
Realization
If I lost about 5.5 pounds every month for the next 8 months I would be at my “goal weight” of 130 pounds. 8 months is not that far away. That’s in this year. I realize there is a good chance is could take longer than that because of various setbacks I’m sure I will encounter, but still, it just makes this all seem a lot more achievable.
I’m currently having one of...

Weigh in #2
Current weight: 172.4 lbs Weight loss total: 2.1 lbs Even though I am super bloated from it being that time, and my eating being a bit off the past few days, still an overall loss. About to go do some meal prepping for the week. I plan on kicking some major ass this week eating/workout wise. In case anyone was interesting in knowing.

New Breakfast!
Decided to pick up these two products that I haven’t tried before:
I assembled my ingredients to make a bowl. Instructions for he Qi’a was to add two tablespoons with 4-5 tablespoons of milk and let it sit for a couple minutes to thicken up.
And the finished product:
It was really good! I thoroughly enjoyed it. And very filling!
Journaling
I spent a good chunk of yesterday making myself a weightloss/get healthy journal to track my weight, measurements, foods, exercises, goals and everything else along the way.
And today I’m going to start using it!
Lezzz do this.
