    Not lazy at all when you walk/jog all the time! I was going to continue the C25K along with the shred but I figured I'd keep it to one thing at a time.

    Yoga has never seemed intense enough for a work out... But comments have said otherwise, so I don't know...

    Has anyone beat that whole snacking and studying thing?

    I actually have never had the snacking while studying problem. I think it's probably because by the time I'm sat down and studying I'm too lazy to get back up unless I'm actually hungry. :bigsmile:

    Ally, that's why I love this site... You can basically eat whatever whithin reason. If I want some pizza (which I so do right now!) it won't kill my progress. Might kill the rest of the day though. :laugh:

    Hello!
    My name is Monica and I am 20 years old.
    I am a Junior in Special Education and I'm hoping to get my masters in Occupational Therapy.


    My biggest problem with being a student is the emotional eating when I am stressed!!! Stress makes fast food look a million times more appealing.

    I have the studying and snacking problem!! Some things that I found work for me sometimes are... not keeping that much food in my room, brushing my teeth before I study (then I don't want to dirty them. usually works at night) or if worse comes to worse I'll just save some calories if I know I'm in for a long night of studying.

    Hello New Comers :-)

    I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I had signed up for sorority recruitment at my school and then didnt attend bc I decided I didnt have enough time. I regretted it the first day I didnt go. Now this morning I woke up and had a vmail from a sorority girl saying that even though i didnt go through with recruitment, they were wondering if id like to come hang out with them and possibly sign a bid. now i dont know if this is bc they didnt make quota or if i made a good impression and the info session i went to or what. but now i feel like i got a second chance but im still not sure if ill have time :-/

    abbiez-- they could have asked you for a number of reasons. I am not in a sorority but I am in a coed honors fraternity and initiating was time consuming even for that. My advice would be go... maybe ask about the time commitment and see if you can do it. I will never regret initiating, it was the best semester of college by far. Another thing I would check is what they stand for. I went through sorority recruitment my first semester of college and while some of them were great! Some of them were not the kind of people I wanted to be associated with it. I have a lot of friends in sororities and they absolutely love it and it's a great way to get involved but ultimately, you have to do what's right for you.

    Just wanted to tell you all how jealous I am that you are still in college! I am 26 now and finished my B.A. in accounting in 2006, then my MBA online in 2008 while working full-time. My suggestion is to start and keep an exercise routine now - it all sneaks up when you sit at a desk 8 hours a day! And stay in college and enjoy it - working full-time with all these grown-up responsiblities just sucks sometimes!

    Good luck to all of you for the semester! :flowerforyou:

    Hello!

    I'm meagen and I'd like to join too if thats okay. I'm a senior majoring in Psychology. I actually don't start school until next week so this is good timing. Oh and the yoga melt down is HARD. I do it every once in a while and it always makes my shoulders sore the next day. I'm too chicken to move onto level 2. I also just bought JM's newest workout, I cant remember what its called but that was super hard too and focused mostly on thighs and hamstrings.

    Brushing the teeth is a good idea, that's how I keep myself from eating at night.

    abbiez, Good luck with whatever you choose. I wish I could help, but the only thing I know about sororities is what I see on TV. :laugh: Probably not the best source to go off of.

    Hey Guys,

    Abbiez: good luck with it, hahaha DelphicScorpian i was thinking the same thing about sororities on tv :P

    Omg i went to the gym yesterday with a friend, we did a spin class. Let me just say i almost died. The instructor was insane! She kept pushing us and she was telling us she did the same to a group the night before and pushed them so hard that she threw up as well as someone else in the class. So the whole time we were doing it i was praying i wasnt going to throw up! All i can say is never. again. Well maybe until next week, i did feel good afterwards but it took a while at first i couldnt even feel my legs xD

    I'm not sure that anybody should vomit during a workout because they were pushing themselves too hard, but I'm not a trainer. For me, if a workout is too miserable, I just won't do it. I need something that entertains me, like a game or a dance class. Be careful at pushing yourself too hard, or you'll end up crashing like me and fearing exercise.

    Thanks ashcrashly for your concern :)

    Yeah i know what you mean, i thought it was a bit extreme. I agree with the dance class too i love them. What do you do at the moment? Have you tried zumba?

    I've really only done those cheesy videos from the store, but they're fun sometimes. Mostly right now, I try to walk an hour every day, and then do a few at home excercises that range from sit-ups, to wall-sits and planks.

    What is a wall sit?
  • ashcrashly
    ashcrashly Posts: 14
    You sit with your back to the wall, and keep your legs parallel to the floor, knees bent at a 90 degree angle. It's like sitting in an invisible chair. Hold it for as long as you can, then rest for 30 seconds and repeat two more times. Great for the legs and butt!

    I've just started my first year of uni - this is my third time at uni, so I think I've got the hang of it now! I'm 31 and I am studying Sustainable Environmental Management. I'm hoping I'll keep reasonably fit during this course as I'll be doing had slog at farms for placements, and there's a lot of camping and trekking involved.

    Then again, my last degree was in sport, and I was probably at my chubbiest then!

    Hey everyone! Thank god for the weekend :-D

    Well, I signed a bid with a sorority! I signed with Alpha Xi Delta which is actually a different sorority than the one who left me that voicemail i told you guys about before. I am so excited & all the girls are really nice. :-) My job at the movie theater has been brought down to one day a week which im thankful for.

    Full day ahead of me! I have criminal Justice & math tests on Monday and a psychology test on Tuesday. I also have an essay for english due tuesday so with all that studying, laundry, and exercising, and lunch with my boyfriends sis- ill be one busy girl!

    I'm restarting the 30 day shred tomorrow as well as getting back into a running routine, my 5k is 3weeks away and I have a feeling I wont be able to run the whole thing, but I'm gonna try :-D

    Have a wonderful saturday!

    Ah, I have homework this weekend too... Not an unmanagable amount, but I am such a big procrastinator! I even told myself I'd do at least my math assignments today, and did I? NO. Bleh. I'll just do it all tomorrow.

    Congrats on signing. :) (Don't do all the bad things from TV :laugh: ) And good luck on your run! I think after I finish the shred I might chicken out of the P90X and finish the C25K instead.

    Hey guys!

    I start school thursday. I'm a little worried because I dont have much time to eat so I'm going to have to just pack a bunch of things to munch on in class. What has everyone else been eating at school?
