I really have not been good about logging into buddyslim lately.  I used to log in my food and exercise and neglect the blogging but frankly lately I have not be doing much of either. It was so easy when I was working everyday and I would just surf buddyslim all day and really make an effort to keep up.  Now that I am at home and have no real schedule to stick to, it is really hard to just jump on the computer and log in my information, as silly as that sounds.  I think my biggest problem right now is time management and I need to set some sort of a schedule where I make sure to log in everyday.  I was thinking about maybe first thing in the morning (if i can remember in my groggy state!)  I was wondering what other buddyslimmers with wide open schedules do. 

On the upside, I have been working out like a demon and even started running!  I have been pretty good about keeping to my diet, always ordering a salad when eating out and trying to eat healthily at home.  The truth is, it has been a rough week for me personally.  Mike and I have been having some problems and I have been doing some serious thinking about if this is the relationship I want to be in for the rest of my life.  While that is not the best news ever, I am proud to report I have NOT been stress eating (yay!)  Grad school starts this week so I have certainly been nervous to start all over again and being that I have not been in school for about 3 or 4 years now I am nervous about falling back into the groove successfully.  Having relationship and school stresses have certainly made this a difficult time for me and I am probably the most surprised that I have not resorted to ice cream.  I am proud of myself though, having my eating under control, just one less thing to worry about I suppose.  The truth is, I take it one meal at a time, making sure I make the right choices but not worrying about what I will eat later in the day or what I ate the day before even.  Now that Mike isnt working it is more difficult to get my fat butt out the door and get to the gym but I have been doing it and last time I weighed myself I even dropped three pounds from the previous week! 

So here it is, my secret to success.  Stop worrying about the future, what I WILL eat, what kind of poundage I need to drop, how many days this week I went to the gym.  Time to stop worrying about everything and JUST DO IT already!  Take every meal as it comes, make the right choices as often as possible and the scale will reflect it.  I just hope I can have the same attitude toward school.
