Here were are about 2 weeks into my weight loss and I'm experiencing a major time crunch: finals week. I'm finding myself so busy with studying for exams and lab practicals and putting together final presentations that eating well and exercising are starting to fall by the wayside. I've been less diligent about entering the correct amounts of the foods that I've been eating because I don't feel like I have as much time to measure stuff out (although I do try to make my most educated guess) and exercise just seems to suck up valuable study time. I have compromised by reading my notes while walking or running on the treadmill but it does get difficult to focus and I feel like I'm cheating myself out of a good study session and a good workout. Also, I'm heading to the shore next week after finals are over (vacation all I ever wanted...) and I'm concerned about how I'm going to keep up with my healthy habits in a house full of friends and when I'd rather be lying on the beach than running on it. If there's one thing that I hate it's running when it's really hot outside but maybe if I do go for a jog on the beach the ocean breeze will motivate me as well as cool me down. Anyway, that's it for now, I was just taking a study break and needed to vent a little. Here's to the 2 pounds I've lost already and hopefully to at least 8 more!
