I was looking at some pictures of me and i really feel like my weight has showed up in my face these past months, i have gained, lost, and then gained 8 pounds this year and it is really not healthy. i need to kickstart things but i dont want to burn myself out the way i did. I feel like this standing desk thing will drastically help as my metabolism shuts down sitting at my desk literally all day. I read somewhere that it burns an 40 calories an hour which can add up to a lot every day. If i maybe stand at my computer for 8 hours a day thats 320 calories extra a day and then 2240 a week. in order for me to normally burn an extra 300 id have to spend a half hour at the gym every day of the week. no wonder during the winter i was having so much trouble. i would exercise maybe 30 min 5 times a week and expect to lose a pound and nada. then i would freak and starve myself and then get sick… im so stupid. anyways i hope doing the little things works. ill kick it into high gear once finals are over

and so this has been really hard. i have been searching for a way to normalize my morning routine. i think i need to write down a strict order of events that i like doing plus a soundtrack of songs that get me going.
