I did it!

A quick post...I did it! I made into the 160's!!! Only 1.5 pounds to go till I reach my first official goal, I'm so excited...this will be my first real goal achieved fitness wise! All that walking is paying off and it is not only helping with the weight loss but also with the stress of exams. No time to update now, I have to get back to studying!

160's here I come!

Almost a month has passed since I posted on this blog, it was hard to keep up in September because of school. Starting a new school, meeting new people, discovering how hard college really is took a toll on me in September, which is why I didn't exercise much nor did I pay attention to my food intake. Luckily I was able to maintain and actually lose 1lb and that was probably because I have started walking home from school instead of driving. In the beginning of October I made a promise that I would get back to exercising and change my food habits and I kept it :). I have been walking again and it feels soo good to be outside in the autumn weather and not think about anything except my speed and mileage. Walking is like therapy, I get away from thinking about school and family matters.

I have a new goal to lose 5lbs by my birthday which is on November 21st, I know I can do it. It would put me at 165. I can't wait to be in the 160's I havent been in the 160's since 3 years ago.

The holidays are just around the corner and I'm already downloading Christmas songs. I don't know what it is about this time of year that fills me with so much happiness. I hope I can keep that happiness up when the next round of mid-terms and finals come up =/.

School has definitley taken a toll on me. I just feel so tired when I get home. All I do is nap and eat. Let's not forget the the pile of reading that keeps getting higher and higher everyday. BUT I'm ready. I'm ready to get back into it. Ready to start my running adventures and keep going with my walking ones. Also for the past couple of weeks I have been thinking about this blog a lot and I think I'm ready for a new one. I'm not SkinnyME anymore. I don't want to be skinny, I want to be FIT. More on that later.

Still holding steady at 172, I have maintained that weight for 2 weeks and I'm ready to not see it next week. Here's to 170 by the end of the month, which would mean 15lbs down...that's simply hard to believe. Sometimes when people ask me how much I have lost and I say 13lbs and it rings in my head for awhile and I can't believe that I have actually lost 13lbs. I always double check myself, have I really lost that much? Am I absolutley certain? I have this new respect for my body, everything is just coming together and everything is clicking. I realize how important exercise is for me not only physically but mentally also. These past 2 weeks I did no exercise and felt like crap, I was tired all the time, falling asleep in class and I know it's because of the lack of exercise. 170 here I come!

I'm ready.
