Perserverance

Looking back on this journey, there are so many times when I could have given up. As you know by now, I have this one dreaded class this semester that is taking a toll on my body. Dealing with this class leaves me stressed, fatigued and feeling horrible. My outlet truly is exercise and watching what I eat.

This past week was definitely the time where if I truly put my mind to it (and no one else wanted any) I could have devoured an half of carton of mint chocolate chip ice cream; but I didn't. Mainly because I didn't want to have to log that into LoseIt! and if I had eaten it, I would have felt worse when there wasn't any left.

In order for me to succeed on this journey, I have to stick to what I truly want to achieve,  I have to remember my short (birthday) and long term (graduation) goals. No matter what obstacles I face (mainly that dreadful accounting for non-business majors course) I know that it will only get better and that I can succeed on this journey.

Losing weight is hard enough as it is without added stressful situation, but I have to keep my eye on the prize. Once the weight is gone, the battle isn't over. I have to maintain that (even in stressful situations) but right now, getting to the gym and eating right is helping me get rid of the excess fat I have accumulated over the years (which definitely wasn't hard to do). I have to stick to my plan, it will pay off in the end.
