I Need To Get Back On Track

So this past year at school I was terrified of gaining the Freshman fifteen, so I tried really hard to stay away from fattening foods and working out almost everyday. In the end I lost fifteen pounds and I was feeling great about myself. I came home and was determined to keep the weight off and even lose a few more pounds. The thing is I work in an ice cream shop and ended up gaining five of those pounds back. I have about two weeks till I go back to school and I want to lose at least one pound. I need to get back on track with all my running and eating healthy. I want to have that perfect stomach so bad and I was so close at the end of the year. Well now I need to lose these excess pounds...I only wanted to lose five more pounds at the end of the year but now at the end of this summer I need to lose ten pounds.

I need to find more ways to keep myself motivated. One way is by putting a dollar in a jar for every mile I run, or if I work out really hard then I will add a dollar. I am thinking about making things to put on my dorm walls, such as girls with really flat stomach (but that might be taken as really creepy). I need more ideas!!!!

Well I am off to think of more ideas and I would like to thank you for reading my blog :)

Came and Conquered

So I ran the whole 5K!!!! It wasn't a terrible time either; I probably could have ran it a little bit faster. I had a blast while doing it too. My friends and I decided to dress up as superheroes...I was Captain America. We also ran with music from the movies :). The only problem I am having now is staying motivated and finding reasons while I should work out. Luckily I have one of my best friends who helps motivate me. In fact, we just got done working out and I feel FANTASTIC!

I have to go back to school soon and I haven't been able to do as many adventures as I had hoped, but I did get to go to Chicago for Fourth of July and I am planning on going back in the next couple of weeks. I did go to the showing of The Dark Knight Rises that showed all three of the Batman movies. I was soooooo pumped, but it was devastating what happened in Colorado. I send my prayers out to the victims and their families. After the movies I went and bought myself some awesome new superhero posters for my dorm, which will be amazingly decorated with those posters and my awesome Beatles posters I got from my wonderful roommate and her dad....they know me so well.

I am excited to go back to school, I am not so pumped about going back to classes and doing homework. I am going to make sure I get good grades and have fun.
