I'm sitting here on a sunday morning debating whether i should:
a. shower
b. go for a "run"
c. study for my midterm on tuesday
Today, and the last few days, I've been at a steady 158. The clothes that i bought this summer barely fit... and after sitting on a plastic tub... i fell straight through... scratching up my entire back and legs.
I did, however, just eat a banana for breakfast - in hopes of countering the entire medium pizza I ate last night!
however, I tried something new this week. I bought Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula for the stretch marks on my sides.... and .... THEY ARE MOSTLY FADED ALREADY! I just noticed this morning!
It was an exciting morning.
I need to come up with a plan and stick to it. It's soooo hard. But every time I walk around campus i find myself being very envious of a guy who used to weight 230 -easy... but after studying abroad looks like he weight less than I do now. I mean.. amazing for him! He looks great... But how the hell did he do it?
Well.. he broke his bad habits, i'm assuming. he exercises, eats right, drinks lots of water... All of those things that people should do when they're trying to lose weight.
I want to lose weight because:
I want to feel better about myself
and i'm too poor to buy new clothes.

An Introduction...
Mission: 130 is all about my mission to lose thirty lbs and get back down to 130.
I need a place to vent about my progress or there lack of... And to just generally let my depression and insecurities about my current body image out on paper (aka the world wide web) since no one really wants to listen to some girl complain about her body weight constantly.
About me:
I am also 22. When they say beware of the freshman 15... You should listen! Granted, i'm sure i would have gained some weight without the misfortune of getting severely sick for two whole years... But getting sick didn't help either. And neither did a very demanding class schedule and then the onset of anxiety and depression.
When I came to college I was 122 lbs. Each term I would look at pictures of myself and thing "wow i was so skinny "then" now i'm so fat.." Boy was I freakin' wrong!
Within the last three months I have gained 15 lbs. Before starting Lexapro I was at 145 lbs. Now I am at 160 and would like to get back down to a healthy 130.
My Plan:
Going to the gym every day to at least do 15 minutes of cardio. Perferably I will also be working on my abs, legs and arms as well 5 times a week.
Go on a long bike ride every Saturday.
Do my work out DVD every morning.
Eat healthier (no more freakin' french fries!)
Drink more water
Take Vitamins EVERY DAY
Eat more fiber-y things.
Today I went to the gym for 15 minutes and did cardio.
I need to stop getting so overwhelmed with everything i have to do and everything i don't do...
That is key to a "healthy recovery"
stupid metabolism finally catching up with me.
