Is anyone else going back to school this week ?? I gained alot of the weight I'm currently working on loseing last semester so I've gotta be extra careful now with classes starting again. What are some things other students are doing to stay the course in their healthy lifestyle ???

    Stay away from the dining hall. They use a lot of processed, canned foods to cut down on the cost of feeding numerous students. Super high in sodium and carbs. Cook as much as you can and pack healthy snacks for the day. Best of luck in going back to classes!

    I am returning to classes this week. It's a community college, so I don't have to worry about dorm food, but the temptation to hit up the fast-food in the cafeteria is going to require some working with!

    If your talking about living on campus.
    I lost so much weight living on campus. Most of the time I would sleep in, all afternoon classes.
    I guess the best tip I can give is pack a lunch, at UVIC they had paper bags and you could pack a lunch to bring that way I didn't have to go for hours with no food and make bad decisions when I was finally done all my classes.
    Walk everywhere, and take some time to explore do activities outside of uni.
    Almost everyday I would get on a bus and walk around downtown Victoria.

    Yeah I don't live on campus but it's about an hour to walk there and back so that's at least a little bit of exercise each day. I never eat at school either, I pretty much just use the cafeteria for a coffee bar, haha. My biggest problem though is finding time to work out, with school and work I stay pretty busy. The time is definitely there it's just a matter of me utilizing it ya know. My classes are all afternoon classes too so I need to start getting up earlier and be more motivated.
