Back to School

First off I want to share my weigh in. I weighed in on Tuesday as I always do. I was at 148.2 which is under what I was before I left for British Columbia! I've lost all of my Vacation weight and then some. I need to keep this trend going. Now part of the reason why I think this happened was because of my Birthday celebrations on Saturday night. I don't want to share that much because it's really not nessisary but, let's just say whatever I consumed that night did not count. It didn't stay with me shall we say. It's never going to happen again but if it had to happen at least it was on my Birthday when I have an excuse (sorta) for it. Now let's get into what I wanted to talk about; School!

I can't believe a week has gone by since I started at Humber. I've really enjoyed it so far though. I'm taking the Advertising - Media Sales program which is the same program my sister Tara took. It's about the selling and buying of space and time for advertising.

The first day was a little crazy. I was running late getting there and still a little jet lagged from just getting in from BC the night before. So when I finally got to class I was late and therefore when I walked in I was noticed. My teacher, Barb asked who I was and when I told her she realized that I'm related to Tara and her sister Remy, who also did the program. She then told the whole class my family's history in the "Business" and how successful they all are. I'm not embarrassed by that at all but I wasn't really ready for my whole class to know about it. I didn't really want to stand out in that way. After that and everyone else introducing themselves we started work on a little in class assignment. While my group was working on it I mentioned to Barb that Tara says Hi. Barb then told me how Tara and Remy were both top students in their year and that "they" would be watching me! I wanted to do really well in this program anyways but now there is this added pressure. I plan on using that though as the fire under my bum to keep me motivated to do well.

The rest of my classes were not as eventful. My Marketing teacher knows Remy but wasn't around for Tara. Thankfully, I've sorta made some friends. We sit together in all of our classes and it makes it easier for getting notes down. Also, it seems that my section is the section with all the "older" students. The people that have already done post-secondary or have at least taken a year off between high school and Humber.

One of the things I was worried about going back to school was how my eating and fitness plans would fit into my new schedule. It has been a bit for an adjustment but I think I've got it under control.

My Timetable. Ignore the COMM classes they have been dropped

This is my Timetable for the semester. I figured out that Tuesdays and Thursdays I can go to the gym in the morning before class. Sunday, Monday (after 4pm), Wednesdays (until 2pm), Friday and Saturday are my days that I'm available to work. Wednesdays I'll try to squeeze in a work out after work and before class if there's time. Friday and Saturday I'll go to the gym before or after I work depending on the shift.

As for eating, if you look at my schedule most of my classes start after 11am. This means I'm able to eat breakfast and for the most part lunch at home. The only day I don't eat lunch at home is Tuesday and planning to pack a lunch for one day is not too difficult. Also, because all my classes are pretty well one right after the other there's no time to go to the Cafeteria and grab some kind of unhealthy snack. None of my classes go past 6pm either so I'm always home for dinner which is great as well.

It's looking like this time College won't mean a "Freshman" 15 for me and I'll be able to stay on track.

Look out for my next blog where I'll talk about my appointment with a physiotherapist. I finally got some answers about why my hip has been hurting me when I run.

Until then I'm going to stay on track with my eating and try to fit more Veggies into my meals!!
