My Next Obstacle

So now that I have tackled the task of obtaining a job (a great job!), it is now time to finally be rid of that dreaded "Freshman 15" that I've held onto for 4 years. Obviously everyone who goes away to college battles with this, some are lucky enough to get rid of it or even avoid. Unfortunately the rest of us, we are stuck with it until we make some major life changes.

My mission to drop this weight started last week. I successfully went to the gym Mon-Fri at the work gym. I have gotten into a routine of using my lunch break as my workout time. It was working great. It gives you a nice refresh for the afternoon and at the end of the day you can just go home and relax. Unfortunately this week I was unable to make it during lunch, but I did drag myself after work as to not loose the streak.  But now that I'm getting my gym routine down it's time to start what I call a pseudo-diet. Pretty much it just means eating healthy and not eating junk. It's not really a diet, I suppose, but to me it means sacrifice and that is what I believe a diet entails. I have inherited my mother's sweet tooth and find myself constantly eating candy and sweets. I think if I can cut this down drastically and keep up with the healthy eating on weekends I should be OK. But the weekends will definitely be a challenge. Wish me luck!

If any of you know of any good healthy recipes or foods I should try out, feel free to leave suggestions. They'd be much appreciated!
