the de-chub
Monday motivation: feel like you don’t know what you’re doing? Try anyway. Find people who do and ask questions. The only way to grow is to get outside your comfort zone.

This week: 207.4
Loss: -3.0 lbs
I was hoping for more, but I didn’t eat as well as I should have. One of my major problems at college is CONSTANTLY seeing my peers eat bad food. It’s this skewed form of peer pressure…it takes everything I have to say no to chocolate-caramel popcorn or freshly ordered pizza. Sigh. No excuses. I can do this.
Recommitting
It’s 2011 (and it has been for roughly 9 days).
So, as a trip down memory lane, I started losing weight around this time last year. I started at 217, and was at my thinnest at around 191.0 in July. I thought I would be able to maintain my weight loss or even maintain losing weight…
Then college came.
First semester was a whirlwind of adjusting to a COMPLETELY different environment (I’m from the midwest…my school is in the south), finding friends who I felt comfortable enough with to be myself, doing well in my classes, finding activities (which consume 89% of my time), resolving a bunch of mental and emotional shit, and most of all, not going crazy.
Guess what else happened? You guessed it…I stopped going to the gym. I started eating the worst foods imaginable. It does not help that there is a Panda Express on campus. It also does not help that I would eat dinner and then order pizza/Chinese with my friends two hours later.
At the beginning of 2011, I weighed 210 pounds. When I started school, I was about 195. Even with my lack of math wizardry, I can confidently say that is a 15 pound gain.
The Freshman Fifteen. Embarrassing. Disgusting. I thought I was above this.
I wasn’t. But now I am.
I started exercising little by little over winter break and eating healthier. I consulted two professionals: a life coach and a personal trainer. I think I now have a plan.
I’m recommitting to this goal. I want and need to be healthier. I am not going to waste my youth.
