Taking a break...

I'm taking a break from studying because I just came across a couple of Tweets from Biggest Loser contestants that really got me thinking.
They mentioned in their comments that they have gained weight ever since the finale. It made me realize that everyone goes through a slump sometimes and we just have to remember to get back on our feet and keep going.

Since summer school started, I haven't been paying much attention to ME.
I wanted to lose a bunch of weight before my trip to Greece, and instead of doing so, I gained some more.
My last day of school is today, and tomorrow I am going to get back on the bandwagon. According to my calculation, I have about 7 more weigh-ins before I get on that plane.
Logically speaking, that means I can lose about 15lbs before I leave. Realistically speaking, I want to lose more.

I have 46 days to really concentrate on me. Do things that I like to do, and things that I have been meaning to get done but just haven't had the time.
I hate saying that: "not having enough time." There is always time... But I often find myself not prioritizing my time right. The time I spend watching a favorite TV show can be spent outside running. The time I spend on Facebook can be spent cleaning my room.

The other night, I dreamed that I was chosen to go on the Biggest Loser (how awesome would that be?). I know this would never happen; first because it's an American show and second because I am not big enough to be on it. Yes I am unhealthy, but there are other people out there that are far worse off than I am. Why is it that, they are able to overcome their weight loss issues and I can't? In addition to the physical changes that I need to make, there are lots of psychological adjustments that need to happen as well.

Let's see what the next 46 days has in store for me...

P.S. Send me good vibes on my exams today. Freedom awaits.
