I am so ridiculously happy it's fall!! No, seriously. It's amazing. There is actually one very, very nice thing about not living in P-town during the October-March months...SUN!!! I have been checking their weather & comparing it to ours...10 day forecast for M-City= Sunny & amazing! 10 day forecast for P-Town...Ick, ick, and more ick. I mean, don't get me wrong: I do love foggy, rainy, cloudy days and I am a sweatshirt/flip-flops kinda girl. Forever. BUT, I have been getting pretty spoiled on the seriously amazing amount of sunnage we get here in the lovely state of TN! I think it will definitely be another adjustment when we move back to the great, gorgeous Northwest. You win some, you lose some!
So, I am 100% back on track with my eating. I am finally taking control, and it feels so good. Seriously, I am just trying to take it one day at a time, and I am tracking EVERYTHING in a notebook I bought expressly for my food/exercise log. I haven't done so well on the working out this week, but tomorrow I am definitely hitting the gym in the morning! Tomorrow morning is strength training at 8:30 and Zumba at 9:30, and I am psyched up for both! Then I am hopefully going to have time to get in the pool & hot tub for a bit as a reward!! Another new change I am trying to implement: More water & MUCH less soda and coffee. The coffees I love are so expensive and have SO much sugar in them! I just need to cool it. Maybe once a week will be okay, but I don't even think it has been two days yet, so I just going to try to make it until next Wednesday without having one. And the soda? That is another one step at a time thing...I am going to have to tell my love that I very much appreciate his buying me a soda every day on the way home, but I no longer need to have that every day. (He is so good to me, btw!)
I feel like with my finally trying to get my weight under control, maybe I can start to have some control in other areas of my life as well. For example, schoolwork!! I am trying hard to keep up with the studying. It is really hard to just sit down and actually STUDY in these types of lecture classes, because there are no actual assignments...Just come to class, take notes, study those for the test. Yikes! You have to have some serious motivation to really sit down and just study instead of goofing off on the million other things I could be doing online.
Anyhow. Time to turn my brain off and watch some SVU. Hopefully I can get to sleep before 3am tonight!! Insomnia has not been my friend lately.
