Ok...I feel better this morning.

Still stressed out about the end of the semester, but it's time to get back on track and get everything straight in my head.  Right now I'm heading to the gym for a run, then coming back to work on my Politics paper.  I need to get this paper done between today and tomorrow because I have an exam on Monday and I need all day Sunday to study for it...so hopefully I get half of the paper done today, which is 4 pages.  It would be so much easier if I read the books....but I never do.  Looks like I'll just have to wing it. I'm trying to figure out my exercise routine in my head, but I'm not sure.  I'm going to finish 5k training, and then when I go home for Christmas, I think I'm going to run twice per day, once in the morning and once at night, and do alternating upper and lower body resistance exercise---7 days per week.  It seems like alot, but it's only for a month while I'm at home, then when I come back to school, I'll work on improving my 5k time with this other program that I found.  As far as for my diet, I'm still going to stick to No-S...though at this point I'm tempted to cut carbs in order to drop a few pounds in a hurry, but I always get too hungry doing that, so most likely not.  I'm beautiful...I love myself....I can do this.

I feel like a failure, as usual.  It's only December, and I've gained about 10lbs since coming to school.  Now I'm about 20lbs away from my goal weight. I am such an emotional eater, and I don't know how to stop it.  I am going to start writing down my feelings every day in order to keep them in check.  Here goes....today: I am stressed out about finals.  I really hate the end of the semester, and the fact that I'm at my highest weight in a long time really isn't helping.  I wasn't counting calories, but I was building some really good habits and ever since Thanksgiving I've let them all go.  I really do not know how to deal with stress other than eat.  My exercise has been consistent, which is a good thing....but I really cannot continue to eat like this.  I refuse.  I am SO determined.  I WILL do it this time....I have to.  This is my rock bottom.
