Still working on that whole "frump" thing...

I'm not even going to check the date on my first post. I started this blog with the best of intentions. Goodbye to frump forever! Hello new fit and energetic me! As you may have noticed I haven't revisited the blog site much with exciting updates on my amazing progress. Yeah. Well.

I'm still here, and willing to admit that change is very hard. It takes time, and I'm starting to be okay with that. I have made some changes that are not all that insignificant. After a 15 year lapse, I've gone back to school to finish my degree. I threw away the tattered, black, stretchy pants with the elastic waist. (Yes, I bought a new pair, but I've made a solemn promise to myself to never wear them out in public). I've gone shopping several times and even bought two new pairs of jeans. I can throw out the old pair I wore on "special" occasions last year - they were being held together by a lovely safety pin. I got a really great haircut and I've committed to actually getting it done more than twice a year.

Exercise is still on the back burner. Walking to class counts for something, especially while wearing my 60 lb backpack. I think I should get some kind of weight lifting credit just for that. The University I'm attending has a gym that I can use for free, and renting a locker and actually trying that gym has been on my to-do list for a couple of weeks now. Tomorrow...

Nutrition is also a little iffy. I do pretty well for the first half of the day, but I have poor meal planning habits and I just get famished by late afternoon. When I reach that point, all good intentions fly out the window and I want food NOW. But I'm starting to pack a cute little lunch for myself so I can hang out at the library and study with all the cool kids until it's time to pick my little munchkin up from school.

I seem to have a habit of repeating adjectives. Anyway, I'm signing off to make the aforementioned lunches for my family and myself so I can go to bed early (fingers crossed) tonight. Goodnight!
