Weight Loss Blog: 8/2

I have to say that the easiest two days of the week with regards to my diet and exercise regime are those that I am at uni for. Because I have to get up so early, it means that I can fit in an awful lot more activity in my day without it being too stressful or particularly feel as though I’m doing all that much more with myself.

Whenever I am in uni, I have the same amount of food that I would have if I wasn’t it. I never buy food when I am there because I cannot afford to, and I get up too early to be able to make anything to take with me before I go. So, because of this, it can help me to stop snacking when I am out of the house, which is fantastic. 

The other thing which is really helpful to me is the fact that I have to walk for at least an hour per day when I have to go to lectures. I have a friend who normally takes me home afterwards, however she was unable to do so on today which meant that I was able to get a little bit more exercise done than I might have done on any other day. This is good news, as I like to start the day with a fair bit of exercise and I am able to do so when I am on my course.

One of the things that was brought to my attention today was the sheer amount of work that I was going to have to do before I graduate this year. In a way, I am looking forward to it, as it is potentially the last time that I will ever get a chance like it to do any academic work. However, on the other hand, I will admit that I am getting a little bit nervous about the fact that my exercise regime might suffer because of the lack of time that I am able to dedicate to exercise. While I know that I am going to be able to lose weight just from my diet, and this will not be remotely affected by the fact that I have a lot of work to do, to be able to hit my goal in the amount of time that I would like to, I am going to have to change something about what I am doing because I could honestly do with stepping things up a little bit if I am to hit my target in time. 

I cannot be overweight for much longer. I’ve worked incredibly hard for over a year now, and it is about time that I was able to wear things that I know that I will look and feel really good in. I only have five more pounds to lose until I am no longer overweight, but these last couple of pounds seem to be stretching out infront of me a very long way, and they seem to be clinging on for dear life.
