Since starting graduate school I have moved home with my parents so I would not have to take out extra loans. I cannot work full-time with my school workload, so I am unable to afford my own apartment. My parents have graciously given me the upstairs room in their house that is functioning as a mini apartment. However, the room was not equipped with a door. My Father recently found a solution to this problem and spent the morning installing my new door. I am grateful for the added privacy and the noise buffering that this door brings.
I also weighed and measured myself today. (Yes, I literally weighed myself and measured myself.) I need to lose 4.9 pound in one month to reach my current goal. I really want to lose 10 pounds by that point, but 4.9 pounds is more realistic. I have spent the better part of three years trying to reach my goal weigh. However, my motivation has waxed and waned more that the moon. I have made great strides in weight loss but am getting close enough to my goal that I need to set real deadlines for weight loss. Americans are obsessed with weight but in my case these are not vanity pounds I am trying to lose. I am trying to increase my overall health and well-being in order to live a long and enjoyable life. I refuse to diet or to follow any regimen too strictly. This could be because I am hopelessly stubborn but regardless I will lose the weight in my own way.
I am continuing to enjoy the book Eat Pray Love. I will complete my review of the book after I finish the book. Overall, today has been a fairly lazy and rainy Sunday. I have to go to work at 4pm tonight and I have classes the next two days. More than likely, this will be my last update on my blog until Wednesday.
Until then,
Phoenix Studying :D
PS If it is raining cats and dogs where you live, be careful not to step in a poodle.
