So I’ve definitely gotten off track since. I moved out of my parents house and back onto campus….and I lost motivation for like the last month….it kinda sucks. Funny story though: I was worried that I wasn’t going to be able to weigh myself daily because I wouldn’t have a scale in my apartment like I did at my parents’ house. And when I got here, the people who sublet my apartment over the summer left their scale in the house. I think it’s a sign that I need to just get back into my routine of eating healthy and staying motivated. I had a chance to go on a hike today but I turned it down because I was feeling sluggish. I do regret that now. I’ve only lost 7 pounds in the past two months….definitely been on a roller coaster :(However, the seven pounds are completely gone! I’ve been holding steady now for two weeks. I finally have access to a gym and I’m glad that I have friends who are willing to go with me and work out. It will make it so much easier. The support they are giving me is awesome and I’m very excited to start my new workout routine. I’m planning on going to the gym five days a week. The two days will be spread out, but it’s mainly because I won’t have time on certain days due to classes and other activities on campus….we’ll see how it goes.
Thanks for the support everyone!

So I’ve decided that I want to do this so badly. I’m giving myself two years to save up enough money…buy a decent car that can handle the trip and my friend and I are going for it. We’ve decided that in two years we will drive cross country! We decided to wait because I’m going to be going straight from my undergrad to grad school and she will have just turned 21. So we were thinking about going down the southern route on our way to the east coast..and back up the north route on the way home. Not exactly sure where I want to go yet…but if any of you have ideas let me know please!! Thanks!

So far I haven’t lost any more weight, but I also haven’t gained any weight. I’ve been so busy trying to say good bye to my friends as they leave for college and what not. Also I’ve been trying to pack all of my stuff as well and clean out my room….which is a big task. So I haven’t been taking care of my body as much as I should be. However, I did go on this mile long hike today and it was fantastic! I know that one mile isn’t far, but it was steeeep! It felt like doing the stair stepping workout machine for an hour! I went with my friends and it was so much fun! I think it’s great to have friends who are supportive and can help me through this challenge of weight loss. It’s going to be a long journey and I plan to really get motivated and on a regular schedule: with food and exercise, sleeping, and taking overall care of my body. But with the help of my friends, it doesn’t seem like it’s impossible anymore. Thanks everybody for all of your stories and inspiration!
