Recommitting

Filed under: Health/ Fitness — gardener @ 7:25 am

Even though I’ve been eating well for the most part, I’ve noticed that I’ve started making more exceptions than I should have with certain foods, and I’ve also been a little more lax with my work outs. The results have been an extremely slow downward movement on the scales, and the past few weeks, no movement at all.

I want to reach my goal this year, and my choices aren’t working to help me get to that point- so I’m recommitting myself to my program and to the process. Personally, I believe that we have to do that from time to time- remind ourselves why we are doing what we are doing, and check ourselves for lack of better terminology.

I know that statistically 90% of people who lose weight gain it back and then some on the long term, and since I like to be part of the minorty instead of the majority, I plan to fall in the 10% that DOESN’T gain the weight back, which is going to mean understanding this way of life and keeping myself in check.

If you’d like to join me on this continued journey of a new lifestyle, please feel free. The more the merrier, and we can only benefit- each and every one of us.

Back to School?

For a while I’ve been considering going back to school, and have been researching where I think would be the best place to get an online MBA. Since I would prefer to stay home, I wanted to make sure that I could find a University which offered the same program online as they do on their campus, and I found exactly that with University of Scranton.

It not only is 100% online accredited by the AACSB MBA program, but it’s also rated in the top 15 by The Princeton Review. I’ve been reading up on their application and entrance process, and everything is self explanitory and simple to understand. Interaction with professors is made simple through email, chat and online discussion threads, which will make answering any questions easy.

When completed, I’d have the same degree as anyone completing the same degree on campus, and that’s a definite plus in my eyes. This very well may be the school for me.
