On your mark...get set...GO!

OK, so here goes nothing.
I'm going to try to sum up the last 4 months in 3-4 sentences. I started Nursing school in January and by the end of March I was starting to circle the 'mental drain'. I couldn't sleep, wasn't eating right and I stopped exercising. I was living in a constant state of anxiety. Forget about friends and family...I was married to my Nursing books. I truly felt like I was losing the essence of me.
Things took a turn for me in mid-April, forcing me to MAJORLY slow down and breathe and I started to do some soul-searching. I hated how school and the pressure I put on myself to succeed made me lose sight of all the other things in life that made me happy...
Fast forward to my 'SUMMER GOALS 2010'. This is it. I have ONE MAJOR GOAL for the summer. Lose the weight I put on at the beginning of the year (plus a couple extra lb's for the 'WOW' factor). I started on Wednesday, 4/28 and my last weigh in will be 8/31. That's 125 days to lose 30 1/2 lbs. I will weigh in every Saturday morning and update my progress on Facebook. The first official weigh in was 5/8 and I lost 4.5 lbs. 26 to goal. I took 'before' pics that I will post on 8/31 next to the 'after' pics. I will work out 6 days a week at my favorite gym. www.crossfitatp.com I will rest my body on Sundays. I will ease up the diet one day a week (because if you know me, you know that I have steak Saturdays every week and I love to eat!)
I am very excited about this namely because I really MISS ME! I'm fun and cool and athletic and I don't know where exactly I went to these last few months...but I am SUPER glad to be back. I encourage you to make a goal for yourself, write it down, and then work every day towards achieving it. I hope you are encouraged!
Peace and blessings...
