December was not a good month at all. I'm in my second year of law school and the stress of finals followed by the holidays just simply threw me off the wagon. I realized today, while gorging on a boston creme pie that enough is enough. The holidays are over. I'm no longer stressing for finals. I feel like crap. I must start eating right and going to the gym once again.
I feel like I make so much progress and then I screw it up every time. Hopefully, I am turning this around before too much damage has been done. I have not weighed myself yet, but I will be doing that soon as well. That will make my mistakes a reality.
Thanks for reading my rant. Hopefully this is a new starting point for me.
If it's any consolation , you aren't the only one. All we can do is get back on track and fight back by staying active and mindful. Stay positive more than anything.
I get finals stress lol. I'm a 1L and, like you, I ate terribly and pretty much stopped working out during the month that was finals. We can get on track though and make this year even better. Plus, finals are like three months away.
Yesterday was yesterday, Welcome to the here and now. You are going to make one hot smokin' lawyer regardless of what you ate yesterday.
So take that deep breath and inhale all the air your lungs deserve ,
the world is yours to navigate. you can do it free from the fat laden foods. eat a carrot raw today and notice how your spirits will soar.
I gained 30 pounds during my second semester of 1L and first semester of 2L. I took some time after that to detox my eating (figuratively, not any sort of diet detox) and start working out more, and I feel SO MUCH BETTER. I promise it's worth the effort.
