One month in country....

My fitness has improved vastly. I walk uphill both ways to school at least 3 days a week. I always thought this was a joke, but I really do walk uphill BOTH ways. Damn Pullman has a lot of hills. Everything is either "oh, just on top of that hill" or "oh, just downhill from there". I've been really very good about packing my meals everyday, not to mention eating breakfast and dinner at home. I have had a couple of nights where I drank a lot of alcohol, but nothing too severe that I haven't been able to pull myself out of. I tend to want to drink and drink and drink.....I also have been walking over to the student rec center (3 miles from my house and back) twice a week for some workout sessions. Sometimes I just do some exercises in my apartment, if I don't feel like leaving early in the morning.

Right now I'm 157.7 lbs. Before the weekend I was 155.5. I did drink a LOT on Saturday and I had a bbq at noon and a pot luck in the evening. So when I guesstimate how much I ate, it is probably well over 3300 calories. But Sunday I went right back to 1200. Tracking what I eat, and keeping to simple foods has really helped me. My clothes are starting to get looser which is a really good feeling.

I did buy some 'crappy' foods this last time I went to the grocery store. Baked Lays, and Lean Pockets. Not too bad calories wise, but not good as far as they are processed 'fake' foods. They just looked so yummy! and I haven't had pizza in about a month. So I thought the Lean Pockets would be a good distraction.

Well, the plan is no more drinking for the rest of the month. If I could make it until the end of October, that would be fantastic! I really lose when I'm not drinking, and I'll be 29 on October 28th!!! It would be great to buy a new pair of skinny jeans!
