Took a week off of the Gym to substitue for a spring break. I am so used to traveling, so to not travel was a bit saddening to me. So I was like, "Hey, gonna refresh these batteries, and get crackin once my school schedule is back up and running". Needless to say, it worked out just fine! Got an awesome 45 mins in today at the gym. Worked on that elliptical for a full 30 mins! It was awesome!
I have found that I get sooo motivated when I listen to Chemical Brothers and watch the First 48. I didn't even realize when I was half way done with my workout, it was awesome!
Had a great encounter with a girl in the locker room. I had seen her while I was working out, and she was just pushing it to her limits. You could tell that exercising was not easy for her, and it made me feel good for her. It is a struggle for me too! It looks like we have about the same amount of weight to throw around, which is not easy when you are trying to bust your ass. So, I ran into her in the sauna, and we started to talk about our journies, and it turns out she has lost 60lbs! She says that she had stopped thinking of the number, that is so daunting!(which is the same amount that I want to lose) and changed her additude by noticing the small steps and awesome life style changes she has made. 10 mo later and she said she can't believe what a difference it has made. It inspired me so much, but the story is so similar. I have made changes in my eating, and I now exercise on a regular basis. Sometimes, I get so overwhealmed by the numbers that I dont realize how good I am actually doing.
Besides that, life is good. I have been running into money troubles lately. Which can be hard for picking healthy options, just because I want to stretch my dollar as far as it will go. Hopefully, this will all be resolved soon so I can actually grocery shop.
I have mounting stress (with being a full time student, full time employee, full time girlfriend, full time friend) , but I am trying to work it all out with working out and sticking my nose to the grind stone. Things will look up, I just need to keep reminding myself that....
This too shall pass.
