Another Fresh Start

I don't know if you guys are exasperated at the idea of me trying again, or if you are excited that I am posting, but I would like to think it's the latter.

Yes, I am back... again....

However, this time I am trying to keep things simple (won't seem like it in a minute though! hahaha!), stress free and 'easy'... well, as easy as I can make it. I am hoping that I am finally getting myself sorted, mentally and physically.

B pointed something out to me the other week, and it has been playing on my mind ever since.  I am a routine person. I struggle when I don't have a routine, and as B pointed out, I have struggled a lot since I started shiftwork, which is also when I started at uni.  Now, I don't tell him this often, but he is right, I have struggled and I couldn't figure out why.

I like to plan, I like to know what is happening, and lets be really honest... I like being in control. However, for the last 18 months, I have felt out of control. I feel like I am spinning out of control because I have no routine, so I feel like I am being pulled in so many different directions and feeling like I need to be everywhere at once.

I feel that this is the main reason why I haven't been able to lose weight, why I have struggled with a uni routine, and why I feel so lost.

Since this passing comment, I have done much thinking, and as my uni schedule was changing with the new semester (by the way; passed anatomy and got a distinction in nutrition! woot!), I spoke with my work and asked to have the same shift on all of the other days. I am hoping that having some form of structure to my days will help me mentally as well as only taking on one unit this semester.

Hopefully with all of this, I will be able to make weight loss a regular part of my day as it once was, and continue to post more on here!
