Subject: Roll Call!

Good morning my friends! This is a friendly little roll call to see how many of you are still taking the 3-day challenge series. I'm still in, I'm still in!

I was looking back on my challenge successes this month so far, and out of 12 calendar days, I've only been good 8 of them. That's terrible! I can do better than that! There was only one day where I really went out on a carb-blitz; the other days weren't so bad (they still qualify as cheat days though). The personal problems I've been going through have taken their toll in the quality of food I'm eating, but the amounts have been smaller (most days). I guess that is why all this cheating hasn't affected my weigh-ins much.

Anyway, we still have a little over 2 weeks left in this month, and I still have another 2.5 lbs to lose to make my goal. I can do it; I just need to re-focus my efforts. Since I started my new campaign to lose 4 lbs each month back in June, I've stuck to my plan most days and I've successfully made my goals. I want this to continue. I have big plans to be a much smaller person in a slinky little dress for the holidays.

This coming Monday, I'm adding school to the mix. Ugh, dreaded term paper deadlines and mid-term/final exams always KILL my diet. I'm going to try to practice better self-control this semester. If I have something big coming due, I can't just lock myself in my place and work on only it. I need to get out for an hour a day and walk on the beach or something. I think that might be another thing I can do to help stop the "study-munchies" from getting to me. Anyone else have tips on things to do to de-stress during school?
