I'm not sure what it was about this week, but classmates in my cohort felt the same way this week. We're about half way through the semester already and we're at the point in the semester where we need a break - desperately! However, no break until Thanksgiving.
I'm caught up in a dilemma. One that I have to be careful in how I wrap my head around, so as not to turn a positive thing into an unhealthy thing. This is where I would like some of your input and advice.
I'm wanting to lose weight - dun dun dun.... Maybe not so much lose weight as get back into a workout routine which has completely fallen to the wayside with school and work.
I realize that this is not necessarily "positive body image" talk, but it's the truth. However, I DO want to achieve this in a healthy manner. My problem is not necessarily motivation, but my full schedule. By 8pm, I'm not really feeling motivated to workout. Mornings are a little bit more flexible but often dark out still. (Also with the pending cold weather coming, running outside will not be an option).
I would like a treadmill in our apartment, but I'm not sure I can get away with that as we are on the second floor.
In the meantime, I am trying to go back on my gluten and dairy free diet. Last time I was on this diet for medical purposes, I felt great! I am starting to believe that my body really does respond better without those additives.
So the basic problem is that I literally run out of time at the end of the day when classes and work are over. Then there's always homework. I need an hour where I can devote just to being "active". (And not just walking up and down the stairs of the CHHS.)
Thoughts??
