And honestly I feel very good about the direction my life is going right now. Have not been able to say that much in the last couple of months. I am officially done at Ivy Tech although I think I checked out months ago. I am ready to move onto my next schooling adventure and maybe redeem the hard and negative feelings I sometimes have from my first 4 years in college. Originally I was not planning to take any summer classes because I knew my fall was going to be crazy but after meeting with my advisor and her recommendation that I retake a couple of classes I did not do well in (whoops) the first time around I decided that I would do them in independent study this summer. Which means I have 9 months to complete it but I am hoping I can do them more in a month time frame so that I have at least 2 months school free. That way I can spend a ton of time at the pool which is my favorite summertime activity and maybe, finally get some much needed sun!!
On the weight loss front....not much to report as of a big weight loss (I know I am really bringing this blog down haha) But I have decided to restart the couch to 5K program. If you have never heard of it I would suggest googling it. I say restart because I tried to start it last year but it got too hot and I got crabby and I gave up. So this year I am going to do it in the gym instead of outside. I also went a couple of weeks ago to a Zumba class with my friend Amanda. I am going to go back because it is close to my house and it is always nice to work out with a friend. I enjoyed the workout and having something different. I am also hoping to be able to go back to Jacquie and have her help me with my weight loss goals. I am trying to do 30 lbs by the time I turn 30. Which gives me a little less than 5 months. Honestly if I hit the gym every night it is perfectly doable. The one weak spot is my diet. I am honestly working on this and seem to be doing much better. I have cut out almost all caffeinated beverages and am limiting myself to one a day if that. For the last 3-4 days I have not had any. I was having some horrible heartburn and caffeine headaches and I decided I could live without it. It has helped tremendously with the amount I am eating and also the way I feel. Although I do still feel groggy without the caffeine to wake me up that is something I am ok with as long as I don't have the heartburn and headaches.
Tonight I am headed to the first of my summer concerts with my friends. It is probably going to storm from the way the clouds look right now. Hopefully it holds off ! I will update after my first couch to 5k workout!
