Let Them Eat Cake
I love my nutrition class.
And the reason I love my nutrition class is that I can lose 10 pounds over the course of the semester instead of doing a research paper. What's not to love about that? I feel a little bad for those people in the class that have no weight to lose. They are stuck researching anorexia and hypertension and nutrition supplements.
As I may have mentioned before, I've put on a few unwanted pounds since getting married. Well, I have a few unwanted pounds BEFORE I got married, but after the wedding it seemed that all my clothes were getting smaller and smaller. I didn't want to admit I was getting bigger and bigger. (Ok, I'm not THAT big.) And I'm really NOT that big. But I'm big enough that half my clothes don't fit, I weigh more than I ever have before and I'm definitely not comfortable with that.
Enter 10 pound challenge.
A ray of hope in my darkening, ever-growing world.
You mean, I get COLLEGE CREDIT and I don't have to do a research paper if I do this? Where do I sign up!?!
But it's a little harder than you'd think. I'm beginning to realize that. 10 pounds that were all but too easy to gain are a lot harder to lose. But I know I can do it. I still have 13-14 weeks left. No problem.
I am cutting out carbonated beverages. I never used to have a problem with those I've gotten in the habit of drinking them entirely too regularly as of late.
I WILL NOT overeat. I figured out my desired caloric intake and I'm sticking to it. It may take a little while to get used to but eventually it will get easier.
I will exercise at least 30 minutes a day. That has been the hardest part. I'm finding it difficult to fit it in around work, school, housework, and homework but I will succeed. And I feel a lot better when I do it. This is my attempt at writing down my goals so I will follow-through.
It's harder than I thought it would be but at least I don't have to write a research paper about diabetes.
