Personally I think drinking is really gross anyway so this hasn’t ever been an issue to me but I found that Duke study really interesting. 4.2 lbs can take a whole month or more to lose! Do you really wanna kill all the work you do in the kitchen/gym on a few nights of ‘fun’ that also kills your liver and lowers your inhibitions?

This doesn’t just apply to college! It’s easy to be down on yourself but think about all you can do to better yourself in the same amount of time you would be moping around :)

Snacks are really important! Aside from keeping your metabolism at a standstill, eating 3 large meals a day can/probably will make your work outs less effective than they can be because your body doesn’t have enough fuel to do work. These are some of the snacks that I find yummy and convenient to take to class and work:
Almonds
Pistachios
Cereal (FiberOne Honey Clusters, Cascadian Farms, Kashi)
Quaker Banana Nut Bars
Wheat Thins
Apples
Carrot Sticks
Of course there are tons more so go out and see what’s right for you :)

*This should say tip #6, sorry!

I’m actually about to head out the door to class now! I have a break from 2 - 2:50 so I went downstairs and ran for about 1.5 miles. Some 8 mph sprints, jogging, and a short cool down. I do more intense work outs later after all my classes are done but still, make productive use of your free time! You may not look so hot for your next class but the odds of you catching someones eye in the gym is greater than in a lecture hall :)

Trust me - I know this is hard! I was a notorious over-sleeper last semester and it really shortened my days. So far this semester, I’ve been waking up at 7:30 am each weekday (classes don’t start till 10 am) and 9 am each weekend and it’s an amazing feeling! Not only do you squeeze in a work out and boost your metabolism, but you feel so much more energetic and productive throughout the day.

I think we all struggle with self-esteem/body image issues at some point to varying degrees - we’re human! But at the end of the day, we’re beautiful. All of us. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - changing your body doesn’t mean you hate it; it means you love it enough to want to bring it to it’s full, healthy potential. Above all, keep your mind healthy with a fresh, positive attitude and good things will come in February! :)
