About Me

I'm on a journey of self discovery and health. I use my GoWearFit by BodyMedia to track the calories I've burned in a day. This is my blog about my weightloss progress and lifestyle changes. I'm in the process of applying to a masters in Physicians Assistant. I'm an avid traveler and am always trying to plan a journey to somewhere new. Despite being overweight, I love to work out. The problem is that I love to eat too ;)

#31- Weigh In

Stepped on the scale this morning for a 2.8 lb loss- score! I never get more than 1.5 because I have a hard time making good choices all 7 days in a row. Lost 20 pounds total!

I haven't been an angel this week, but I have been hyper-aware of my choices and whether or not my body can actually use it as fuel. I also went out for dinner 3 times this week :-O. I rarely even go once. But I did my best to make the right choices, yet still enjoy.

Just got a membership to a gym with a swimming pool. SO excited to go back to swimming. I really enjoyed swimming while in Cali. Indoor versus outdoor makes a huge difference though. I loved getting my vitamin D and feeling the warmth on my back as I swam. Now I'm just in an enclosed space... that's what I get for living in NY.

My back problem seems to be coming back. While I was in school, I would suffer from serious back problems after sitting up in a chair for 4 hours. Now it's back. There was a good chance it never really stopped, I just didn't need to sit studiously like this for a while. In order to test my new meds, I need to actually try sitting in one place and getting work done. I'm too young to have all these problems! I keep thinking that if I lose the necessary weight, I can solve it.... I'm falling apart!

I've been doing my best to stay as positive as possible... But I am so incredibly stressed out. I have no idea what my next step is. Trying to live by this motto but some days are harder than others.
