Struggle Bus

This feels so foreign. Blogging? What’s that? I apologize for the fact that I haven’t been very loyal. It’s just that I don’t have time for the things that I 100% have to get done no matter what, so it’s hard to squeeze in the QT with the weight loss blog.

BUT

The thing is, I still need to lose weight, which means I still need to blog and I still need support. I need it now more than ever. Why? What’s the difference between losing weight at home and losing weight at college? I’ll tell you:

Losing weight at home:

PRO+I had my 5k class at the Y in the mornings which motivated me A LOT to go workout

PRO+I got groceries which in turn helped to make healthier meals

PRO+ It was the summer, so I had all the time in the world to workout, and to get on Pinterest to motivate me

CON+ I had a lot of downtime to sit and be bored and-eat

PRO+I saw my boyfriend everyday which reminded me, “Oh yeah, fatty, you need to look hot!”

PRO+I had to spend physical money if I wanted to get extra snacks or treats which meant I never got extra snacks or treats

Losing weight at school:

PRO+ Although I don’t have a 5k class, I live right by the gym. Right.by.the.gym

CON+I have meal plans…to the Caf…which serves the most unhealthy meals in the world in addition to a display of sugary treats

CON+ I have 0 time to do anything. 

The plus side to all of this? When I'm really committed, I will go in to the caf, load my plate with vegetables, fruit, and healthy food, I'll workout everyday, and I'll keep going down the path I know I'm destined for. A couple weeks ago I feel back into my eating whatever I want, pizza late at night, not exercising very often type of lifestyle, and surprise surprise, I wasn't happy. I'm not happy when I eat junk. I'm not happy when I'm not getting my exercise. And I'm not happy gaining weight. So I stopped myself right in my tracks, reevaluated my choices, and begun again.

I'm hopping right off that struggle bus.

More to come---weigh in tomorrow. We'll see just how much those last couple weeks costed me.
