Back to School

Well, it's been a lovely three weeks off from grad school. Really lovely in fact. So lovely that I can say I was a big agnsty last night just thinking about the idea that I have to go back to school today. I felt like you do when you're a kid and summer break is over, except I'm an adult and my three week break from school (not work!) is nothing compared to summer break! Although, it was quite nice, and really, nothing will probably ever compare to summer break as a child.

So anyway, yeah, grad school starts again tonight, with my all time least favorite topic, communications. Business Communications = me giving presentations = sweaty palms, swaying back and forth and saying "um" way too many time. Ugh. I'll be glad when it's over.

The world of weight loss this weekend went quite well if I do say so myself. I bumped my points down to 20 (which is less than weight watchers said I should have at this weight, but I wasn't losing much at all at the higher point totals) and that's been a bit of a challenge. 20 points of food equals roughly 1000 calories, which is not a lot. Now granted you get to eat more if you work out (which I did!) or if you want to use your flex points (which I did!), but still, even with those two things, it's not a lot of food.

But I would have to be insane to think that I could eat a lot of food and lose weight at the same time now wouldn't I?

I'm trying to be patient with myself and not obsess over how much I have to lose or how long it will take. I'm just trying to focus on my next small goal, which for this girl, is getting under 180 pounds (and then promising to never see that weight again, EVER.)
