My final semester at my college has begun. I am so nervous, and excited to just get it over with! I am happy to be back into a routine because my winter break was a total bust. My plan going in was to lose 5 pounds, simple enough? NO. I didn't anticipate the holidays being such a challenge for me, but they were and thats life. Moving right along from that situation and getting myself back on track. My weigh ins were all over the place over the past month. I put on about 3 pounds, but as of yesterday, I am lower than my pre-holiday weight by a half pound... YAY! I feel great again, energetic, healthy and light. I have lost 112 pounds in total. It is crazy to even think about losing that much, so I don't.
I have started doing some yoga at home. I am a little intimidated to go to a studio just yet. I want to get more comfortable with it in the mean time. So far though I love it. It is calming and challenging all at once. It is perfect for me to do, since I stress myself out very easily. I think yoga will fit perfectly into my new lifestyle.
So, this semester, I have to take a fitness and wellness class. It is required to graduate, because I certainly do not think I would have taken this class freely. It is basically a health/gym class. Let me tell you all the bad feelings I didn't know I had about "gym" class. I have the worst anxiety about it. High school gym was horrific for me. Never did anything, almost didn't graduate high school on time because of it. I was way to self conscious to participate in group activities, unless in was ping pong. Getting called thunder thighs during a fitness test didn't help either! Well anyway, I have this "gym" class tomorrow and I have already lost sleep over it. I literally keep telling myself over and over, "you are not fat or in high school anymore." I am hoping the first class will make me feel differently. We will see...
