59 days and Counting...

Yep, 59 days until Cancun. I'm so excited...its going to be a lot of fun, at least i hope and expect it will :)

So I just enrolled at Rutgers. Its done- w/e. In the end, I only committed to a year for my parents, if I don't LOVE it, I'm trasferring. I plan to reapply to Maryland, and a school of two up in Boston. No more than 3 tops.

On the diet front, things have been going good. I started exercising again consistently last week- light weights and 40 mins walks 3 times. This week, I did heavy sessions at the gym twice, and I've been doing weights for the arms at home all week. I've also decided that I will be running a 5k in the fall (wow, me running, who would've thought?!) I'm starting slowly...I did a mile on the treadmill at the gym last night, mostly walking, but not b/c of the fact that I was out of breath like usual........the fitness level is def. up there, but its hard for me to run b/c I get horrible shin splints! They hurt like a bitch!

I'm going to work my way up to running the full 3.1 miles on the treadmill, and then ill be doing it outside, since i know that's much tougher. I'm going to do it tho, def.

Let's see what else? Food has been good....I'm eating in the morning, and then continuing with small portions during the day. Right now, the hardest thing for me has been to keep staying away from dif drinks and getting in enough water. I'm not up to the 64 oz a day......When i have the water in front of me, its not hard tho, so im going to go load up this weekend. In general, with senior year coming to its end, i dont have a lot of extra work, so I've had the time to relax, workout, and sleep. Wow, I've been getting so much extra sleep! Its awesome :)

I've also read something online that I think will help me....I'm not concentrating on numbers right now, but I have decided that I will be at my goal weight when I am a size 7/8. That's where I want my body to be, and im happy with whatever weight I'm at. I'll still be weighing myself, but right now I look totally different and I'm still at 186 (as of Sunday).

The weird thing is that I think I grew an inch :)

So that's the news........I hope things keep going this well. I'm so looking forward to things if they keep going this well.

    That's a great goal. Sometimes the number on the scale doesn't mean as much as the number on the jeans.
