Livid.

Yeah, dude, I'm livid. I gained 5 pounds over winter break. SERIOUSLY. That's 1/3 of the weight I originally lost. That's 5-10 weeks of extra work to lose it all. I'm devastated.

I made a really strict eating schedule and planned intense workouts for every day. But, looking back on my summer health journey, it took me about 11 weeks to lose 13 pounds. Can I really lose 15 (or, ideally, more) in just 10 weeks?! I don't know!! And I'm freaking out. I took a before picture and I can't handle the way I currently look in a swim suit. And we have to take into consideration that these next 10 weeks include Rush, Valentine's Day, and My 21st birthday. Occasions where a cheat meal or two/a span of time with little room for exercise will have to happen. Add in extra-curricular activities, 19 credit hours, and, potentially, a part-time job, and I see a recipe for disaster.

I can't even really express my disappointment in myself. But, being sad won't really change anything. I guess I've just gotta go out there and give this fitness thing my all. All I can do is work hard and hope for the best (numbers-wise) from now until March 17.

I put a countdown timer in (on the right side bar) to help me track my time. 68 days. That's under 10 weeks. AHHHHH. Ok, time to get up and active. Yikes.
