Oh I am. I just need to change my mentality away from "school mode"

And FINALLY DONE!!! Well, at least in the official sense of the term - I still have two summer classes and work, along with the rest of life. But for all intensive purposes I'm done with junior year....

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I've been MIA recently because... (insert dramatic music) FINALS ARE HERE! It's that time of year where I wish I wasn't the equivalent of an engineering major and...

Ok, foodsies for yesterday and half of today:

Yesterday, breakfast was a 2 egg omelet with peppers, onions, and spinach with some cheese melted in-between and about 1/6th of an avocado. I had a...

No, I definitely do the same thing - my level of productivity is much higher at night and I am a seasoned procrastinator. What is the correlation between this and cortisol?

Well, the coffee was decaf so I figured I'd be ok; in regards to going to bed so late, it's not because I want to - there's just a lot of stuff that I always end up needing to work on for school and...

My dad's side of the family is polish lol, but yea ditto on the pork rinds... I love those things

Logging my food before I hit the hay (before 1 AM - woohoo!)

Breakfast/Brunch: 1 egg cooked in butter with ~2 cups of broccoli/spinach/green peppers and topped with a handful of shredded cheese, a...

Oh shush and get over yourself. North Jersey is just as cootie-filled

+1 to what ChacoTaco and iniQuity said, it's all about enjoying yourself without the overkill - don't eat it just to eat it, eat it to enjoy it

P.s. to Chacotaco - you can have your cake AND eat...

Wow, reading your journal is like hearing myself think, except that I try not to sound so obsessive or upset when I vocalize my thoughts even though I secretly am lol

This is great advice :p Considering where I'm at, I'm taking this advice to heart as well.

p.s. Waves from NJ, iniQuity!

Haha possibly. I used to be super-structured with my exercise before I gained a bunch of weight, but I secretly loathed it. Just taking a look at your day and what exercise you do naturally really...

One of the worst things about my schedule is what happens to my sleep: I went to bed close to 3 AM and got up for work this morning at 6:30 to be out the door for work (oh the joys of being the...

Oh look, someone who's in the same boat as me! (Also 21 and in college)

I know the feeling of having no time (I literally don't), but there is a valid point to trying to MAKE time to exercise; I...

Dinner was a bit early today; I have a paper to finish that I've been avoiding all day and wanted to start working on it without being interrupted by a need to go make food. Anyways, here was my...

Agreed - self-hate is completely useless; if anything it just made things worse. It's all about finding a happy balance with food and fitness and whatnot, though right now setting foot in a gym of...

I've never had them, only heard of them lol. They must be fabulous :p

Thanks! The beginning of the journal no longer really applies, this is more of a continuation from my post above (major weight gain) and getting back to where I was. It's really interesting how going...

Thanks! I'm not exactly a newbie here, just fell off the wagon a while back. Now I'm back and ready to kick this ass back into shape :)

Had a "What's up, Doc?" moment earlier standing in the kitchen munching on a carrot stick to calm my stomach, finished off by a spoonful of coconut oil.

I'm fully awaiting the carb flu that's...

+1

And I know this from personal experience - I can't have just one

I use a lot of steam-in-bag veggies, or just frozen ones in general because they're inexpensive and last for a while without going bad (which is useful when you're just cooking for yourself). Really...

Oooo those do sound nummy

Well, continuing on this theme of starting over, I might as well go all out on it and post stats.

So, lovlies, this is where we stand as of this morning:

CW: 153.5 lbs (*cringe*)
GW: Whenever...
