I finally finished all of my internship hours and class assignments Friday so I thought I’d take these next two weeks to get my body used to exercising again before I start my masters program and my first job as a college graduate.

Today, I walked my dog around the block one time this afternoon and twice tonight, after I did twenty minutes of Zumba. I’ve been walking my dog around the block regularly the past week or so but tonight was the first night I added extra exercise. I know it’s not a lot, but I’m proud of myself for taking the first step!

I’ve battled anorexia since middle school and am hoping I can keep on track and not over do it this time around. I have a very hard time losing weight now and I hope I can have the patience and consistency to wait for the loss to come while not getting upset and binge-eating everything in sight.

Everything around me has been motivating me to do better. I just hope I can juggle work, school, and exercise as it has been difficult for me to do in the past. Thanks to everyone who participates in this group, it inspires me to do better!
