Ok, so I finished finals with a bang (I got a 4.0! this semester). My goal was to work and go to the gym last week while I stayed in Nashville. Instead of going to the gym I worked a lot. I mean a lot. So I only worked out on Tuesday of last week and I ate crap! I weighed 233 last Tuesday. This week I weighed 238. When I got back home I was afraid to call my trainer because I knew how badly I had been doing. Good thing he is awesome and he called me Monday night to see if I was back in town. I maid an appointment to work out with him yesterday. I was honest with him and told him I had not worked out in a week and I had been eating crap. He started to me out slow, but realized that even though I hadn't worked out in a week, I had lost any of my ability. That was comforting, but I know that is way to long to go without working out. So yesterday I started to get my stuff together. I worked out with the trainer for an hour and then did an hour of cardio. Today I did 30 minutes of weights and 30 minutes of cardio. I have also been eating lots of vegetables. I just need to watch out for the Christmas candy, cookies, pies, etc.

I would love to be in the 220's by New Years Day, but that might be a pretty lofty goal.

Finals will be over tomorrow at 6:15 PM!!!! I have done amazingly well in the not over eating department during finals. I even made it the gym today and yesterday! I did however splurge and have a beer at the Will Hoge show at the Ryman followed by a late night trip to Wendy's. Thank goodness I don't do that all of the time.

I really need to step it up a little bit. I need to start losing more weight. I know I can do it. I know how to do it. It is just a matter of actually doing it and sticking with it. When I am home I want to spend about 2 hours each day at the gym. I want to do lots of cardio and start running again. I ran about a mile yesterday and it felt so good.

With my last final done tomorrow I will have very few worries. I will be able to devote all of my time to work and working out at the gym through Saturday. I will be driving back to WV on Sunday.

I am out!

ok, I am still alive, things have gotten busy again. I was going to post more, but I am too tired. I am not really on any sort of "plan" right now. I would just like to see the 220's by January 1st. More to come later this week! I promise!

Back down to 236. At least I know I can pretty much stay maintain my weight. I would just like to lose some now! I know what I need to to do it is actually doing it. I am still going to the gym about 5-6 days a week for at least an hour each day. I am going to Memphis this weekend. I am expecting to have amazing ribs and alcohol while there as well as seeing Will Hoge. I can not wait! I am not even going to try to keep track of points while I am there =)
