Week 2

I am so sorry for not posting yesterday, Mondays and Tuesdays are the biggest days of the week for me so it's hard to find time to write then. On mondays I don't get out of class until 9 pm, and on Tuesday I have classes all day and a training for my summer job at night until 11, so it's extremely busy.

This past week has been better, though not as good as I would have hoped. I have resumed my diet for the most part but now I have to wean myself off of sugar and carbs again so that has been tough. This week I have been feeling better about what I eat, and I don't feel guilty about any of the things I've eaten so that is fantastic! I also have been going back to the gym. This week I only went three times but was working out for a full hour the whole time I was there.

These next few weeks, in order to keep myself from stressing out, I am going to go to the gym every other day. This is because I am trying to train for a 5k here at UWF in March and when training for a 5k it is important to give your muscles a chance to heal and get stronger. I will be doing other things that require more physical activities on the other days, maybe like going on walks with some friends on the nature trails they have here, which is one of the reasons I love this school so much! They have a number of beautiful trails that go all through the woods and over a pond, and they have canoes that you can use in the pond as well. Apparently there is a beaver that lives out there as well, and I'm determined to find him!

Training for the 5k is what my goal is going to be for these next few weeks. I have always told my parents I want to be able to run one, and now I'm going to try. Right now I am at the point where I can run 20 minutes without stopping, and 10 minutes more after that if I take a 5 minute break. So we will see how far I can make it this week.

This weekend has been a really good weekend. I am constantly reminded over and over again how much I love this University. I love my school and all of the people here, it really has become my home. But being here also makes me appreciate my home that I came from, and being away also reminds me of how much they love me as well. I miss them and I can't wait to see them over spring break. Just 3 weeks!

Thats all for this week, on Tuesday I will make sure I get my post out on time, even if I have to write it the day before. Have a wonderful week, and I'll see you on Tuesday!
