Free time….bad thing?
Now that I’ve graduated, I have a bit more free time. I’m getting married in July and then moving to Colorado in August. So meanwhile, I’m just working some hours at the campus gym. It’s sort of like a transitioning phase since I can’t get my "real job" yet since I’m moving in 2 months. So, there are some days I do not work at all and other days where I do work but have too much free time. I never thought that free time could be a bad thing….until recently! There were a few days last week where my eating went OUT OF CONTROL! I feel like I lost sight of my goals and my extreme boredom and lack of productive things to do messed up my mind and sent me on a few binges. I feel really awful about it, but I’ve picked up my head and said NO MORE! (There were no progress pictures last week because of my binge eating.) I did continue to workout, but we all know that diet plays a HUGE role. So, here I am, confessing publicly that I MESSED UP royaly last week with food (I’m talking stuffing my face with dreamsicles, fudge rounds, and anything else I could get my hands on….VERY hard to admit, but true.) If you’re wondering why I have all of those junk food items where I live, it is because I currently live with my sister (who is skinny, doesn’t exercise, and eats junk food…really high metabolism, ugh!). What is even worse is that I had to go to the store and BUY BACK all of the food that I ate since it didn’t belong to me in the first place. I have so many regrets. BUT!! NOW!! I AM FOCUSED!!
I’m sure a lot of people can relate to this. It seems like when life presents you with too much free time, food seems to call your name… I’m taking control of my life again. I’m so happy this site exists. It is such a motivator. Plus, I just started receiving the magazine Oxygen. WOW!! I am impressed. I have been getting Shape and Self…but now I realize that those aren’t "real" fitness magazines. Oxygen is AMAZING!
