Back in Memphis!

Well, well, well.  Here I am!  I am back from my post graduation activities, packing, and my trip to Honduras.  I am glad I am back home and have some time to relax and get life in order.  I am going to start going to Weight Watchers next week, probably out in Bartlett.  :)

Other than that…I need a part time gig somewhere in the area.  Just for the summer though, because I am most likely moving in August.  Now, back to the rest and relaxation part of my weekend.

Trips, trips, trips

I am back from Murfreesboro where I was without internet access for the majority of the trip.  I am home for two days and then I will be leaving again, this time for Honduras where I will definitely be without internet access for the whole trip.  Kind of makes it hard to take time to journal about my weight stuff, doesnt it? 

Despite the similarity of non-internet access, these trips could not be more different… especially regarding food and weight loss.  In Murfreesboro every meal was fast food.  I don’t think I saw a single healthy meal while I was there.  I was at the mercy of people that love to bring home pizzas and a 2 liter of coke for dinner.  Not my style at all.  I think I gained a pound or two for sure while I was there.  Unfortunately my scale is packed up so I cannot check and confirm this.

My trip to Honduras however will be completely different.  I will be walking, hiking, playing the entire week I am there and will drop a few pounds for sure.  This will also be helped by the fact that I won’t be eating a lot of food while I am there and what I do eat may or may not stay with me.  Last time I was there I lost about 5 pounds in a week, so I am hoping that will happen this time too.  Hurray for a jump of restarting my weight loss! 

After I get back from Honduras I will detail my trip and show some pictures, especially of the yummy and unusual stuff I will be eating. :)

Ooo, I am gonna do WW!

Yay weight loss.  I think I am going to join Weight Watchers soon.  I am pretty excited.  Now that I am not in college anymore (weird)  I need to find some weight loss support and structure.  Hopefully Weight Watchers will provide that.  So yeah…more on this later!

Hehe, as per request of Irene I am bringing my ass back over to blogging and the Healthy You Challenge.

Yeah, it has definitely not been a priority for me in the last month or so.  I have been trying to finish up my class work strong and get out of my last semester in college with decent grades despite the tornado and the crazy schedule.

This week is exam week and on Saturday I graduate!  Hurray!  After that I plan on hanging out for a week (and working out hard) then going to Honduras for a week where I will be hiking and walking a lot.  After that I am coming back and getting into the workout routine hardcore while I try to find a job. :)

Hope all my readers and healthy you challenge buddies are doing well.  Missed yall!
