Thank you for approving my morning lattes and I'm glad that you are pretty much sticking to your lack-of-latte goal.
This semester I took a class from Hell...like seriously you know I would not have used the word Hell if I didn't really think that's where it came from. Not that I didn't do everything I could, it still isn't over as I await my grade, because God forbid I didn't pass my final and I have to do it all over again! Over the semester I accumulated not just one but two overflowing 1 1/2" binders full of notes and it was one of those classes where there is a midterm worth 50% and a final worth 50% of which everything you learned up until that point is tested....I keep looking back and thinking of things I made a mistake on...answers I knew but wrote wrong...AHHHH! Professor, please post my grade soon and reader please help me pray that I passed.

So, what does this have to do with my eating habits...my new healthy lifestyle....the answer is...nothing good.
The week before my final I dropped everything to study...everything including exercise time :( I also was staying up until 2:00, 3:00 and the nights before the exam 4-5 am, while still getting to work by 9:00 am the next day. I pulled out the extremes in order to do this. I'm not as young as I used to be and pulling all nighters, it takes extreme amounts of caffeine...three servings of it a day when I'm not used to any, but that's not the worst part. The worst part are the rewards I have to give myself to keep studying and the time I don't have to prepare healthy food.
Not only did I eat carry outs and fast food all week long, but because I was stressed out my appetite for healthy food sucked and I kept eating comfort food. My favorite comfort foods include french fries, hamburgers, lots and lots of bread and Oreos in milk. So I would be studying, studying studying, running through those flashcards, reading and re-reading notes, doing practice exercises and I'd grab an Oreo from the bag dip it in milk and sink my teeth into it...then I'd reach for another...and another...and ANOTHER. Complete and ultimate horror is what I feel when I look at my body in the mirror right now.
Finals week, I hate you, how could you do this to me? How could I have not paid attention to my eating habits all week like that? I'm not even going to get on the scale to see the damage
To make up for it, I'm going to try to do two 30-minute work-outs a day for a while, one in the morning and one in the evening. Hopefully, I will at least feel a little better about myself in a few weeks.
UGH,
Angela
