Now it's for another in a long line of health-related posts! As I've mentioned before I'm extremely nervous about this summer and how I'll be able to handle my weight. At school I'm pretty good at not eating emotionally or out of boredom or anything, but that changes when I'm at home. This is possibly because I have food only for meals at Temple, whereas at home there are hundreds of snacks everywhere. Why? My sister is a snacker, and she needs to eat often or she'll faint. It's something medical that is way over my head, as many things are. So needless to say, I am in a challenging situation. It doesn't help that I didn't really work out for the last week of the spring semester. I went on a few adventures and was pretty active, but I missed the intensity of a legitimate workout.
My eating so far has been pretty bad, doughnuts and candies and such things, but I've been keeping pretty active. Each day I walk my dog several times, I run around the house like a crazy person, I do butt exercises, and I do a disgusting amount of ab exercises. By disgusting I mean upwards of 200 reps of various exercises. And amazingly, so far, it's worked out pretty well.
Fun Stats ::
Start Weight :: 185 (January 19)
Last Week :: 169
Current Weight :: 166
Goal Weight :: 150 (October 9)
Now these results are probably due to not taking in enough food, but I'll take it for now. I started eating better yesterday (hummus!!) and I hope to continue in this pattern. I also need to up my exercise, so I'll probably ride my bike once the rain stops and it's less gross outside.
What about my other goals, you ask? So far, I've been checking out websites and blogs on real estate, and I've even arranged to shadow a commercial real estate agent soon! Although it's quite a lot of information to take in, I've been reading a lot in order to try to let it sink in. I've also been planning some art projects, and even begin some of the preliminary work. From collages to water colours, to hopefully some secret customized projects, I hope to get a lot done this summer. Some of the other goals have gone virtually untouched, but I hope to change that soon.
