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 :)

That would be a major workout for me! I've got to get this asthma under control. It's stopping me from everything. I need you to get back on the wagon and inspire me!
ReplyDeleteYour thoughts of a future career sound fantastic! I watch a lot of those TV shows about the people that can't even leave their room. It's sad that someone helped them get that way. It would be great for someone like you to help them. They know you can relate to their problem, and you can fill them with hope.
Now, is there a way you can sing your motivational speeches? I hate for you to waste that marvelous voice...
Oh yeah... forgot to comment on the run. Probably a good thing to cancel if you haven't prepared. You could end up like me, sitting in a chair wishing you could exercise. Maybe next year...
