Seriously...I am making it stick this time

You're asking yourself "What is she talking about?" I'm talking about exercise. In September of 2011, I embarked on a journey to go to the gym every other day. It worked for me. I was there every other day until school let out for Winter Break. When January rolled around, I made that same commitment in January. Unfortunately, it didn't stick as well. I really had no excuse not to go to the gym or get some kind of exercise...I only had class Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Needless to say, there should have been no excuse but I kept telling myself that school was more important. That's a lame excuse. I know. But I was very serious about my choice. It was my last quarter and I needed to focus on my time-consuming classes (really, any class is time-consuming). As of May 1, I am vowing to be on a better track to a better weight and a better me. My current weight is 219.8. Last summer I weighed 236. So, I do see improvement. By no means do I feel like I was last summer but I still want to be at a better weight and be more active without tiring out. Mind you, I am a bit more active than some of my thinner friends, but I want to be physically better. My first task is to get my heart rate and breathing on track. I'm not terribly interested in weight loss at this point. But I want to be thinner by my graduation in June. That's my second goal. I am starting a new chapter in my life and I am beginning that chapter starting now. Besides, I think I am going to Costa Rica in August/September and I want to be better. With this carton of coconut water, I am cheering to a better and healthier me.
