I will survive.

This is usually when I mess up. I get stressed out and I let myself cheat. I let myself not workout. I let myself go. I get stressed and I focus on the "important things" and I lose everything I've worked for. Maybe that's why I decided to work out so soon before my candidacy. Well, there is the October wedding I'm in to help...

I have to admit it. I ate terribly last weekend. Sonic just came into town and of course, I had to get some. Sunday, we went to IKEA and then to a restaurant that sold burgers, fries, hot dogs, all that greasy stuff. I ate a lot all weekend. I ate a lot of bad stuff all weekend. But you know what? It's not going to stop me. I normally let a few bad choices throw me off completely and then I just give up. A few years ago, I lost 60 lbs. Huge accomplishment - but I started to write my master's thesis. I stopped caring what I ate. I stopped working out. I stopped making mySELF a priority because I wanted to put my STUFF a priority. I'm not condoning or advocating NOT studying, working, or doing anything just to work out. What I'm saying is I need to reprioritize. Yes, my schooling and work is important, but so is my health. In the long run, more so my health. Okay, maybe I'll opt for an early morning workout, a later workout, split between the two, or even a shorter workout, but I WILL workout nonetheless.

Speaking of which, I'm off to workout! I'll work on my candidacy later tonight.
