New Year, Same Goals

I'm on my last semester of college then I'm looking at a Summer filled with testing in order to get my license. By September I should be looking for a job or two. One thing I wasn't prepared for in going back to school was the lack of time for exercise. I know everyone says that if it's important to you, you will make time for it but seriously there are only so many hours in a day. I need 7 hours of sleep a night and I will never give it up because if I do my immunity goes down and I'll get sick. Then I'm worthless on every level. Moral of the story is my fitness level went down and now I'm struggling to get it back. Luckily this semester should allow me the time I need and my trip to the gym today was awesome and I ordered a Fitbit so I can compete with my friends. Yippee!!!

Here's my new toy. 

The hardest part this break was getting my diet in order. It took me a week to kick sugar and another to cut down my portions. Now I'm just working on having food on hand when I'm hungry. I have my fresh produce, Greek yogurt, chicken breast and salmon steaks. Low calories bran cereal and NF milk, more greens, and a shake rounds out most days. I do admit I love going out for Pho occasionally, but I can't imagine that would break the calorie bank.

Recently I got Netflix and I didn't know what I was missing. Amazing concept! I'm now a cord cutter, as of last February I got rid of my U verse account and got an antenna. Between Netflix, the antenna, and the internet - nothing is out of reach! First thing I did was watch Stranger Things, The OA, & Travelers. I'm not a big sci-fi fan, but I'm really enjoying it now. 

Over Christmas I loved watching all those silly, romantic Hallmark channel type of movies and it was so cool. I feel like I'm finally acting like a middle-aged woman! For like 10 years all my friends have raved about them, but I didn't see the appeal, but now I do. Predictable story line means you don't need to watch every single minute. I can do chores, have a conversation and still follow them. It's like candy for the soul - I feel so good when I'm watching but then after realized I wasted 2 hours. Hey look! Another one.

This one was my favorite. The guy is just so cute! That ends another entry, so I'll say Adios for now. :)
