Could I get any busier?!

Well, school is back in session and what I used to call a life has now been consumed into a whirlwind of chaos. I am trying to keep motivated with working out, though the same thing is happening that happens every semester. I am so busy, that working out is the first thing to go. I try not to do that, and treat working out as another of my priorities, but it doesn't usually work out that way. So, I think it is important for me to keep blogging on here, because I have to admit out loud that I am putting off working out, which in turn makes me feel guilty, and alas, motivated. So, while I started this blog with the intention of comlpaining about how I don't have time to work out, I now feel like I need to since I have made this weight loss goal for myself. I really don't want to give up when time gets tight or things get hard.

On another note, I feel really good about controlling my eating. I have made a few bad food choices, but I have tried to counteract those bad choices with good ones. For example, today I brought an apple to school for a snack, with the intentions of eating it during lunchtime to curb my hunger until I could get my hands on a salad or something. But I jsut felt the overwhelming need for something filling, so I got a fried chicken sandwich instead. The good thing is that it was all I got for lunch. I skipped fries or chips and ate a lowfat granola bar later on for a snack. I guess I should have eaten the apple at some point, but I've been really good all week, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ship the apple one day. I've been portioning during dinner, and I think thats helping too. I am stopping eating when I am full. I feel more in control! hooray.

My goals this week are drink more water, work out at least 4 times, and not eat any fried foods (other than that sandwhich from today, oops)

Feeling ill

Well, its been a few weeks since I've posted. Lets see, I have worked out probably 3 times a week. I haven't been eating the best I can. I am trying to be more conscious of what I'm putting in my mouth, but it doesn't always stop me from eating pizza (like I did yesterday...) But I am working on eating a lot more fruit, and drinking more water. Me and Tim are sick this week, so I haven't worked out the past few days, but I'm going to try to get out and at least take a walk tonight. Today I had a bowl of cereal, a glass or orange juice, half a can of tuna and crackers, a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and a pudding cup. So far so good I think. Now I need to drink a bunch of water to rid myself of this sickness.
