So I totally went through “freshman fifteen” last year. Well, I didn’t gain 15 pounds, but I did put on some weight. It was hard to keep it off, with all the stress and using my entire meal plan. I don’t have to worry about the meal plan affecting my weight this year, but I’m still a little nervous about my eating habits. I’m not big on running or exercising. The majority of my exercise is walking to and from class. I didn’t have this problem in high school because I participated in sports and other activities. I was always keeping myself busy, but I just feel really crappy and lazy now. I live a good 25 minutes away from campus so I don’t even consider going to the gym. Any suggestions? I don’t want to go through “sophomore fifteen more” this year. I spend most of my time in my apartment doing school work and I don’t know any meals I should start cooking that aren’t ridiculously unhealthy. I recently started drinking green tea. I know that’s good for you. I stopped drinking pop a while ago and have started drinking it again so I’m trying to get away from that. I don’t know. I just like the summers because I don’t have all the stress of school following me and I go do things! I ride my bike! I play sports! I walk my doggies. I do things! It’s great because I don’t feel so icky and unhealthy!
You guys think I should sign up for a fun class? I was actually thinking about doing badminton or ice skating. I don’t know which classes are actually open for winter but I was thinking maybe it would make me feel better. Have any of you taken one of those classes? I’m a little nervous about signing up. They seem so much fun though!
For the weight issue try doing more cardio workouts like running or basketball and you should definitely take one of those fun classes, they sound awesome!
ReplyDeleteIce skating is really good exercise plus it's fun! And honestly you really don't know that you're exercising until you get off the ice and feel the muscles burn that you haven't used in a while. But it's a good feeling.
ReplyDeleteRunning is always the best thing you can do to lose weight but if you are just trying to maintain where you're at just join a fun activity, ice skating sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever have some extra room in your schedule add a PAES class one of these quarters.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why we gain so much weight when we're freshman. I guess we should do the exercise to lose our weight^^
