Update #2

Hello Blogger World! I just wanted to check in concerning my marathon training. I am slightly terrified to share my updates because I feel that every time I share I somehow lose motivation. I know! It makes no sense! But I am doing it anyway. Maybe I can break that tradition. :)

Since the last update, I really haven't done much. I am, however, saying no to more and more sweets. I know this is redundant, but I am starting to recognize that things really don't taste as good as they look. In fact, most of the time, it's not worth it! There are a few things that I am still struggling with when it comes to this concept (Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Diet Coke, etc) but I'm working on it! 

As for exercising, I have worked out the past two days in a row, which is good considering that I had school today. I am so busy lately that I almost gave up. I keep thinking that if I do it now, I can be more ready for summer when it rolls around. I also hope that I will be able to relieve a LOT of stress, which is something I need. 

:) I'm trying to stay committed. I have SO much going on in my life, but I am wanting this so much. I figure that even if I hop on the treadmill for 10 minutes, it's better than not doing anything. I am also learning that slow and steady really does win the race. It's the only way I will be able to keep myself going to win my race! :)

Need...Motivation....

Right now I am sitting next to my backpack, full of reading I need to do. I have an opened Human Biology book that I should be studying. A test, on Monday, that has content still needing to be learned. Two papers waiting to be written.... And I am on the computer, listening to my music, checking my FB, e-mail, pinterest, etc, etc, etc. 

Yes, I am having a problem being motivated this semester! Maybe it's because they're stupid generals classes that no one wants to take. Maybe I think I am just too busy to get everything done. Maybe it's the fact that it's still winter, and I'm longing for summer. Maybe I feel too burned out. And, maybe, I just don't want to do my work. Who knows the real reason? I sure don't. 

Well, it is time for me to buck up. I am almost done with this stupid degree, then I can go on to what I want to do, right? (If that's not the case, don't tell me. I don't want to know!) 

P.S. If you have any tips on reading college content (aka. FDA rules on prescription drugs, physics & human biology- something that EVERYONE should be grateful that I am NOT going into) PLEASE share them with me!

I WILL survive this semester! I WILL survive this semester! I WILL survive this semester! I WILL survive this semester! I WILL survive this semester! I WILL survive this semester! I WILL survive this semester! I WILL survive this semester!
