Mixed Results as of yet. I can't seem to find the right way to link up my stats - don't know if that'll be of consequence with regard to the end goal of this project.

Any who, back to results.

Eating Healthier

Success! I've nearly entirely cut out meats from my diet, throwing in more nuts and fruits. Something about no meats as a strict rule has come to bother me though, which I plan to write up a post about soon... I can't really say I'm saying or feeling too different... I'm not tired after meals, if that counts for anything? Paired with this, I decided to add on weekly physical activity to the list. I already bike nearly daily, but only for class. I figured adding on at least one sort of intense activity that I'll actually enjoy doing might set me back on a path of reducing gaining muscle mass rather than fat %. I'm in no way someone concerned with the minute details of calorie intake, checking my poundage, or any other micromanaging numbers regarding my body, but watching and feeling fat slowly replacing muscle isn't fun to experience. I'd like to think the diet change has curbed exponential fat gain.

Reading

Can't say I've been very active on finishing off books. I think I've got an idea to really get it going: find an optimal time block AND put music on lightly in the background. I forgot about that last bit and it was very helpful yesterday reading through some school assignments. Something in the back of my brain tells me it's something to keep the background noise in my head preoccupied.

Staying Above HomeworK

Success! During the time I threw this on I was planning on taking an online spanish course (bad idea). I switched it out for a history class. Easy work of that one. We'll see how it holds up when Fall sets in.
