Learning to live well to prepare for whatever comes next!

I've never been skinny, but I used to be athletic. I used to hang out consistently (and a little self-consciously) in the very top of a healthy BMI range for my height.

I'm guilty of stress eating. I put on the freshman 15 in college then held steady there until my last semester when I put on another 20 lbs (in about 3 months). That put me at the very top of the overweight range of BMI (possibly tipping slightly into obesity).

Since then, the weight has been coming off slowly, with some ups and downs. So far, I've lost 25 lbs since my highest weight. (10 since joining Spark People.)

I'm starting Law School in the fall (school and location TBD!). I'm nervous that old study and stress habits will come back.

So! My goals in the next few months:
1. Get back to a healthy weight. (I see this as completely undoing the damage I did in college.)
2. Work to a place where I can consider myself an athlete again.
3. Create habits that I can sustain in Law School and beyond. (Including nutrition, athleticism, and stress management.)

I've come a long way so far, but I still have a lot to learn and do!
