I’m alive, I promise!

Thanks to a CRAZY schedule through the summer, I won’t be blogging more than once a week most of the time.

So far, I’ve been hanging in there and managing some healthy-ish choices. I’m not counting Weight Watchers points right now. I’m walking1-3 miles every day. 2-3 times a week I do Pilates for five minutes  the morning. I’m trying to choose fruits and vegetables when they’re available.

I’m not getting enough sleep. I’m taking in too much caffeine. My stress levels are pretty high.

My goal for the summer semester, which lasts into mid-August, is simply to maintain. If I can get through this semester without gaining weight or hitting a major health crisis, I will call it a significant victory.

With everything I’ve got on my plate right now, I’m learning an important lesson about the importance of knowing my limits. Of course I want to lose weight, but right now focusing on that would mean not giving my all to things that are more important. I need to focus all of my efforts on academic performance, family integrity, and basic functioning this semester.

So that’s where I’m at right now, and coming to terms with maintenance feels good.
