I’m thinking that the scale doth lie sometimes.  I weighed myself a couple times just to make sure.  Supposedly I’ve lost 4 pounds in the past week.  I feel like if I lost that much weight it should probably show a little.  I suppose a lot of it could be water weight and I could have been at a real high last week.

Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to be happy that I’m a bit lower than I though :)

I think it went okay.  At least it was better than the past semester.  I actually bought a stationary bike from a secondhand shop.  I works way better than I expected.  I can adjust the speed and it folds up - which is definitely important in a college apartment.  It actually is a bit of a stress-relief when I’ve been studying for too long.

Also, I ate all three meals and they were relatively healthy.  This might sound a little silly to most but this is one of the bigger problems with my diet.  I get so busy that I don’t eat regularly.  Then when I do it’s large amounts of the wrong stuff.

Yay today! I can and will cope with finals and healthiness.

Now that I’m thinking about it, there are so many reasons other than just ballroom - which is admittedly the largest reason right now - to get fitter.

I just realized there are about 200 days before my younger brother comes back from overseas (beginning of November).  We were really close growing up.  I was always borderline too thin growing up and he helped me through the teasing in high school.  He also helped me be okay with my body when I gained a lot of weight because of a hormone problem. 

I want to surprise him by being back down to a happy, healthy weight when he gets home.  I think I can lose around 20 lbs in the next 200 days.  NO EXCUSES! Even though I’m in the middle of finals right now I’m going to try to at least get in a half hour of exercise per day and get more fruits and veggies.
