(for everyone who gets that reference, good for you. ha ha).
Anyway,
So, an explanation? Yeah, you can probably guess what I'm going to say. I got busy. I always get busy. But, if anyone out there is a college student, I hope you can understand and we can move forward from here. ha ha.
As far as the health thing is going, I don't have a good report, sadly. The sugary treats and deep fried foods in the dining hall have been winning against my willpower. And as far as the gym goes, its comes last when you've got a mountain of homework (well, let's face it, it doesn't come last. It comes right before all the stuff you really REALLY don't want to do.) But I can honestly say that I'm not skipping the gym because I don't enjoy going. I've actually had no time, and I really love it when I do have the time. Which provides a lovely springboard to my next thing. This is has to change. I'm making my vow, here and now. At the beginning of the year, my willpower was kick butt. I've always felt that the mentality that in order for a meal to be finished, you have to have a sugary treat at the end is a bad thing. This tells your brain that you're not finished until you've gotten your refined sugar fix. While I've always been a believer that you can eat that desert when you REALLY want it, I've fallen into the habit of having a desert with EVERY meal (sadly, I'm not joking). This is bad and it will end. I kind of feel like I've fallen back into my sugary addiction which is what I assume led to the 50 pound weight gain several years back. And the path to getting "clean" is probably going to be a challenge of willpower, but I feel that I can do it.(ok, that may be taking the drug addiction analogy a wee bit too far, but you get the point). So, I can't say that I'm going to have a especially larger amount of free time, and I probably won't, so I'm not going to make any promises as far as that goes. My plan is to just keep doing what I am doing which is basically just go whenever I feel I can afford the time (or whenever I can't handle studying any longer and need a mental break, which - let's face it - happens quite a bit). But I am going to re-harness the willpower I possessed at the beginning of the year. Part of the issue is that my friends all get desert after every meal. Well, I need to be the trendsetter in this case (well, not exactly trendsetter, another friend of mine also skips desert) and refrain from hitting the sweets bar at the end of the meal. And that is basically the plan.
So you're probably wondering, so what's the fantastic lesson we are supposed to glean from you stumbling a bit? Well, I'll tell you. The lesson is this: You can stumble. You probably will stumble. (or you won't, if you're amazing) But you CAN get back on track. You have to want to get back on track, but you can do it.
Also, I'm going to try to keep posting a bit more, but once again, no promises. College is no cake walk, but I'll do my best.
XOXO
