Work it!

I recently took up working out to be my routine. It's painful but it hurts so good, sort of. I was sick of feeling like a blob. I'm also trying to eat healthier. I'm trying to do the whole deal and it's hard. I'm not saying I sit around and eat chips all day, but I could do a better job of taking care of myself.

My first day of working out wasn't too bad until I woke up the next morning. My legs were hating me. I could hardly bend down without my muscles screaming in protest. I do this thing called the 10 pound shred. I'm not trying to lose ten pounds, just trying to gain muscle. I realize now that the idea of working out is way easier in my head than the actual performance. I do feel better, although I have been slipping back into my old eating habits. Whoops...

I just feel like I'll never achieve perfection in the health department. I prefer sweets over any other type of food in my house and I'd much rather be asleep than sweating on a yoga matt while lifting weights and doing lunges. I hope results show soon because if they don't I'm going to think that all work outs  are a hoax.

Last week felt pretty good. I was eating right and I definitely felt better about myself. I'm going to make sure I keep it up and hopefully it will get easier as it goes. If it doesn't, expect a long complaint on this blog about why no one should work out. For right now, I'm not hating on working out, it's alright.

FINALS

Finals is over. I am back in school. My brain can still not fully function. I calculated that I spent about 30 hours studying! 30 hours!!!! What's nice is that we had a three day weekend but the problem is that I left my brain behind during those three days of relaxing. Every year for finals I always stress big time. This year was worse than before. A lot of my finals were last minute and I didn't have a lot of time to prepare for them. Thank goodness I didn't have a big break out on my face...that would have been embarrassing.

You know the feeling where you just want to ram your head into the wall? That's what I was feeling last week. I woke up so tired this morning that I could hardly see. Everything felt like a blur. I almost wish we had a whole week off after finals just to recover. On the bright side, I didn't let the tests win! I owned through my endless hours of studying.

The best feeling in the world is laying on the couch after a long week of work and realizing you have nothing to do! It's like hell having to prepare for finals, but the enjoyment after is definitely heaven.

I'm already dreading the next finals for the upcoming semester but I am going to be more prepared. It's not going to sneak up on me this time! My goal for this semester is to stay on top of my grades and not get lazy especially since it's going to be right before summer. I refuse to let finals wreck me next time! Second semester finals...Bring IT!!!!
