Getting Motivated

It's been a while since I last wrote on here. I've been pretty busy and the summer was absolutely crazy. Lots of things have changed in my life over the past several months, some exciting and some kind of scary. I'm back on here though to try and re-motivate myself to work on losing weight again. Honestly my schedule now makes it pretty difficult to get in any workouts so I've had to watch what I eat more closely.

By the time summer rolled around I was around 157-8 and not as happy with my weight as I knew I could be. Thanks to summer camp and the unforgiving southern heat I managed to make it to 151 by the end of the summer. After that I felt that I was stuck for a while. I was pretty good about weighing myself everyday to know where my weight was. That is probably one thing I can say that helped me stay on track and maintain any weight loss. By the end of summer I had to move into my new apartment. I got a great workout going up and down the stair and hauling boxes all day. By the next day I was at 147. Then school started and I wasn't eating as well as I usually do and I was getting stressed about school and homework so I gained a few pounds back. I am not back at 148 as of today and I am looking forward to hopefully losing another 10-20 pounds.

I think right now the biggest struggle for me is trying to make time to do things for myself. I find that most nights I am doing homework or dreading going to class. Sometimes I procrastinate because right now I'm in the mindset of "I'm a senior and I want to have fun" but I'm trying not to think like that seeing as starting January I will be student teaching. That's probably another thing that has helped me maintain what little weight I have lost. Nothing like 23 5 year old's to keep you busy and running around all day.

I am going to start trying new things like walks and possibly doing Zumba. Well that's all I can say for now. I'll write more later about how it's going! I'll end this with a quote:
