Hello Folks!
Long time no talk. I have to say that Senior year was a lot crazier than I ever could have guessed.
In a nutshell, I was crazy busy planning an event called Class Day at Meredith, as well as busy finishing classes, my thesis, and getting things ready for Graduation.
I MADE IT out alive. I graduated and am now a gradumated adult. Who knows what will happen from here. I'm holding out for a year before I go to graduate school. I'm anticipating that will be married before the end of school, so I may as well take a year to enjoy being me for a bit before having to sacrifice all of my free time to family, as much as I am looking forward to it.
So what am I going to do for the next year? Well, I'm on a mission to become healthier! Yes, that's right. I've gained a ridiculous amount of weight in the last year and a half. I'm not really sure why or how, but I did -- about 60 pounds to be exact. I'm miserable because of it. So -- now that I have such ample free time, I'm going to prove to myself that I can lose weight!! Yess!!
Most of you are health/work-out nuts, so I want your advice, support, and suggestions! I'll keep you posted on my progress or lack there of. I joined weightwatchers too, so that should help me see my progress even if my body doesn't.
I'm going to do the whole "goal jeans" thing, only with a twist. There are some dresses that I want to buy, but they don't come in my size. So -- i'm going to by one of them two or three sizes down, and that way it will be a step toward the right direction. Once I reach that point -- I'll shoot for something different.
So -- any moms or health nuts that have suggestions for easy, healthy, quick, or healthy comfort foodish type meals, please feel free to share your secrets.
I don't really eat unhealthy to begin with. I think a big part of my weight-gain was the hours I ate (no breakfast, late lunch, super late dinner) as well as a bad sleeping schedule. That and my random workout schedule (some weeks I'd go four times a week and others not at all). Anyone with suggestions on how to stay dedicated to working out -- I could use those too!!
I really want this to work out. Without hiring a personal trainer (which I cannot afford) this is going to be very difficult! I don't have a car either -- so most of the time I'll only have access to my neighborhood or house. I am a member of a gym, and I go there on the nights that I do not work.
So that's that!!
In other news. I need a job -- I'd really love something administrative. Let me know if you know of anything!!
Well, I'm off to clean the apartment.
See you later folks!

I know a few things about losing unwanted weight since I've had 2 kids and I had to fight to lose that excess fat. So here are my tips:
*Drink a cup of water before each meal.
*ONLY drink water and milk.
*Get all 8 hours of sleep. It's the cheapest thing you can do for yourself. It fixes all sorts of health and physical problems. I know this one's tough, though.
*Try to eat vegetarian every other day. I think this has been the one that's helped me the most.
*Don't waste calories on junk. And if you do need some chocolate (like I always do) make yourself eat something healthy first (salad, granola bar, etc) and see if you still crave it.
Hope this helps! I hate having to lose weight. It sucks. Now that your schedule is calming down a bunch you just might be getting an invite from me for dinner soon.... :)
