This week has been somewhat interesting I guess, nothing super spectacular has happened so I suspect this post won't be nearly as long as last weeks. I've just felt very, blah about everything. I feel like everything I am learning in my classes are becoming a big jumbled mess in my head that I can't really keep straight. I am going to have to do some serious organizing at some point today with my studies, because I don't want to end up getting stressed and worried. If college has taught me one thing, it's the importance of keeping calm and staying organized! Although I wish I hadn't waited until college to figure that out. My sleep schedule has been really off too, and I'm trying hard to get back into a regular routine again. I wasn't able to sleep until four in the morning last night. I know that has a lot to do with my disorganization and anxieties about getting all that I need to get done, done.
So this week I hit a huge marker on the road to becoming independent! I cooked my own food last night! I made quinoa salad and it was delicious, there is still some in my fridge and I can't wait to have more later tonight at some point. I do wish I had some olives, salt and pepper to add to the taste though. It's not the best thing I have ever eaten, but the fact that I know that if I didn't have a meal plan I could cook things for myself is exciting in it's own way! Woohoo!
I guess this week I don't really have much to say about life, but last week's post was really long so I think it's alright. This week I made it to the gym three times, and then I went for a run around campus a separate time. And speaking of running, the 5k I'm going to run is this weekend, and I'm scared! I haven't been able to make it more than a mile and a half without stopping, so I don't know how I will make 3.1 miles. I am going to do my best but it's scary. I planned on being so much farther ahead at this point then I am right now. I haven't weighed myself in a while either and I'm alittle worried about being discouraged when I do. I know that keeping track of that is a good way to stay motivated, but I'm conflicted about it, because I do want to lose weight but more importantly I want to be healthy. I'll just have to figure that out after I do my 5k on Saturday, it will be a fresh start!
This week the eating has gone superb, except for one slip up this week when the market was serving my favorite peanut butter cookies, but even then it wasn't too bad. I am definitely back on the right track even though I swerved off the road there for a little while. I find it hard sometimes to motivate myself to try harder, but I know that in the end I have come a long way, but continuing in that direction is the challenge.
As I was writing this, my friend Shannon just gave me the best present ever and I love her so much! But seriously, this girl is my role model. She makes me, and other's on campus to reach for their dreams and aspirations. She is so many people's biggest cheerleader and her ambition and determination inspires others to accomplish so much. This girl is going places, people! And she means a lot to me and so many other's on campus!
That's all I have for this week, but I'm sure I will have more next week, and I will have updates regarding my 5k! Again, thank you to everyone who reads and for all the encouragement I have recieved!
