(October 2009)Number 1 - I've been running for just about three months. I've lost 12ish pounds, and that's with about two weeks of break (thank you finals and foot injury), and the total amount of weight loss is shy of 30 pounds. When I say that it feels like I'm robbing people of some false hope - like the weight just melts away, when in reality I feel just the same as I did a year and some months ago.
I needed to end this, I went on a hunt and I compared pictures.
(April/May 2011)You probably can't notice it, but I can. It feels good, but I'm only far from done.
It's kindof like that saying about still running in the forest or something crazy like that.
Number 2 - The reality that this is the last summer I hold until I am done with my undergrad it scary. I'm looking at grad schools all over the nation, I'm not afraid to go anywhere, but the more I think about it the more I am. I would love to study in New England, or the West Coast, and it would be so much fun, but how would I feel okay? I wouldn't have any friends or family around me, and I would not know what to do with myself. But - life is full of opportunities and there is a world out there that is yet to be discovered. What will I do to make money? Where will I study? What will I study? How will I pay for it?! so.many.questions, and so much time to answer them. Sometimes, it's just that effort to go forth and make it happen.

I'm making it happen.
