Diea's Journal, 08 Aug 17

I've not worked out in a week and a half. I've been hella stressed trying to finish grad school. I drank so many lattes and frappes while writing a 94 page, single-spaced report. I feel huge. I really felt like I was back in the 170s.

To my PLEASANT surprise, my weight has not gone up! I am in an okay range given all that I've gone through! *glee*

Best parts:
-My three years of grad school, including summers, are finally over. I'm free!!!!
-I leave on vacation tonight. I'll be decompressing in the Nayarit Riviera and beautiful Puerto Vallarta. <3
-I now have time to recenter myself, let go off all the cortisol I've accumulated over the last 1,092 days of graduate school, and really re-start my weight loss.

I'm going to have the time to work out, sleep well, meditate, go for walks and bike rides, cook, plan meals... and all the things I know work for losing weight. I gained about 20 pounds during the time that I was in graduate school, and it's okay. I am being kind to myself and not punishing myself about it. I'm okay.

I did it. It's over! I now have 6 letters behind my name. Wow. Thank you GOD. You have given me so much and I am very thankful. I ask for forgiveness for the many things I could have or should have done to walk the path in the right way. I know there were times when the stress got to me and I may have taken it out on others, or self-depricated myself. I will aim for better. I leave my life in your hands.

So... monthly numbers:

Last month
July 2017
Weight 165.5 lbs
Body Fat 39 %
Fat Mass 64 lbs
Lean Mass 101 lbs

This month
August 2017
Weight 164.5 lbs
Body Fat 39 %
Fat Mass 64 lbs
Lean Mass 100 lbs

Maybe that's why I feel so sluggish. I lost some muscle. No worries. I'll get it back!!

Have a beautiful day, FS!!!!

that is a crazy amount of work, but what an accomplishment! Good for you! After drinking that many lattes I don't think I could ever look at one again!
