Chapter 40: New Semester
Wow, well as some of you may or may not know I'm working as a Resident Adviser this year for the university. This basically means I babysit the residents on my floor and make sure they don't get into any trouble and that they follow the rules. This also requires us to come to school about three weeks early to train. It's been crazy...we've been in meetings EVERY DAY from about 8am to about 8pm then after that we've been planning and working on decorations for our floors. Therefore, I apologize for not writing recently, but I'm still here, and yes I am still on my diet. Although it slips every once in a while, we all fail at times. We just have to get back up and keep going. I'm really excited once the school year starts because then I'll have time to go to the gym...I'm pumped! :) So yeah, not really much to report, just wanted to update you and let you know that I am still here :) Love you guys!!!

Chapter 39: 8K (Nope), Birthday Bash, Back On The Wagon
Well I decided not to run the 8K. The marathon is tonight and I realized I hadn't been training like I should have so I decided not to run it. I have not been doing like I should lately. I feel really guilty and I feel like I'm letting all my readers down, but I'm still going. I leave for school on Wednesday and I couldn't be more excited! I'll be back with my gym, my food, my Whole Foods Market, and everything else that feels like home. I just can't wait to be back! I said the first day I'm back I'm going to the gym!
I just got back from a birthday party for my 30-year-old cousin and I had a very good discussion with some people about my weight-loss and stuff. It made me realize I really need to get back on the wagon, and fast! I only have about six months to lose the rest of my weight...70lbs...but I think I can do it! Oh and by the way, I didn't have any ice-cream at the party! They had all kinds of stuff for sundaes so I picked through and ate a banana, strawberries, a few cherries and had some crushed nuts on top. It filled me up and it was actually a lot better than a huge bowl of ice-cream.
When I get back to campus I'll be hitting the gym everyday for several hours. I really have to get back to my routine! I've slumped alot this summer, but I can't let it get me down. I have to keep going.
I was thinking the other day about something one of my friends told me...she said, "If you lose all this weight you need to go around as a motivational speaker and talk to people about weight-loss." The more i thought about it the more I realized, I would absolutely love to do this! I am now a Dietetics Major and once I lose my weight I would love to help others. This is why I have decided that with my new major I would love to eventually work in an Obesity Clinic. For those of you that follow the Health Channel some I'm sure you've heard of Brookhaven Obesity Clinic. It is for people that are Super Morbidly Obese and I would love the opportunity to help people like that. When you get to the point that you're 900+ lbs there's not really much you can do other than diet. If that doesn't work out, I would also like to work in Fitness Centers as a Motivational Nutritionist. I also realized inorder for me to stay on track I need to keep my blog updated. I haven't updated since July 26, and I'm sorry for that, but I'm still here. Most weight-loss bloggers blog for a few months then they just vanish. It's like their fat has consumed them and is holding them hostage. But I can assure you, that won't be me.
I promise, right now...I vow that I will not stop blogging until I reach my goal...whether it be March 20 or whether it be July 20 of next year...the date for me is not the biggest part, but losing weight and being healthy is a huge priority for me right now. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna get off here. I'm going to go run about 4 miles, then come back and swim for about three hours...that should be a good workout for today :)
