Soooo

Yeah. I weighed myself at the gym immediately after eating dinner. I'm 5 lbs lighter than the last time I weighed there. That puts me at about where I started. Now it's time to go down from that.

kouyou

the sad thing is...
that these leaves fall to the ground at their most beautiful colors

and then they're gone for a good amount of time
i miss the gorgeous view outside of my dorm.

the trees are growing more and more bare each day

1 Week

Today marks one week since I cut the majority of refined sugar out of my diet
I think the only time I had it was when we went to Yopo on Friday and I got frozen yogurt after qdoba (which wasn't entirely healthy in and of itself, but I hadn't eaten much else that day). It's a fairly innocent slip-up. I also had a nonfat mocha latte, which does have SOME sugar in it. That was on Saturday.

I don't know if i've lost weight, because I haven't weighed myself since i used the old scale at Ram's the week after fall break. I won't weigh myself until I get home for thanksgiving break. Any difference in the number from the last two times i've weighed will count as progress to me.

i feel great, but i should probably cut down on my fruit consumption
is 4 or 5 bananas a day normal? maybe not. i think i might have had 4 or 5 apples too.

Nature is Win

There's nothing better than Chapel Hill in the fall.
Take a look at my nature trot pictures:

i feel like i've been punched in the eye

really. literally.
not figuratively.
i can feel it bruising.

this week

can suck a nut!
i have a cold. i can't work out until maybe thursday.
i had a major test today and i have another tomorrow. i have a massive lab report due thursday night.
on the plus side, i've made the personal decision to cut the majority of refined sugars out of my life. apparently after a few weeks of torture, you don't even miss it.
the past few days i've kept to a salad/veggies/fruit/soup ONLY diet... but then i grab a cookie or banana pudding afterwords.
my suitemates joanna and kelsey are on the same bandwagon, so i think i'll be able to do this.

Where's Maura?
