Back in the saddle again

It's always a good day when it starts with an Aerosmith lyric. I was happy to step on the scale this morning and see 167.2. I have officially been under 170 for a week now and it feels good. It's been great motivation to keep going. I'm still working out with my trainer but the past month has been rough getting to the gym like I need to. I had a lot of work to do during my unit at school, then I was on Spring Break for a week and went to Florida, came home and got sick for a week and now I'm trying to finish my portfolio and prepare for my Exit Interview next week. It sucks putting school before "life" but when I'm this close, the gym has to wait.

I get stressed very easily and going to the gym really helps to relieve that stress so I want my absences to change. I have cut out fruit after 12pm to avoid the excess sugar. It was hard at first because I turn to fruit over sweets/chocolate. I'm more of a salty person than a sweet person. I work at the farm on the weekends and sitting in the strawberry patch is so taunting! Those sweet, yummy berries are just asking to be picked and eaten! Curse you flavorful fruit.

Don't have much else to post at the moment. I am really eager to see if I can lose more weight getting back into the gym. I'm ready for the pollen to disappear so I can get back on the ole' bike and hit the roads. I'm thinking about biking to the farm this weekend - we will see how that goes! Wish me luck!
