The new semester has begun, and, with it, I have found a new kind of optimism. I'm still not sure if/when my hip will get back into working condition, but I am of the mindset that have a lot to be happy about these days. To some degree, that feeling started when I attended my first ever professional hockey game with my brother. There's something about the way our friendship has progressed that always puts me in a good mood and lifts my spirits. That night, despite my pain, I had an amazing time. The feeling carried me through the next day and was reinvigorated when I went to Shabbat at Rabbi Garfinkel's house, followed by hanging out with some friends. Those events put me on an emotional and spiritual high that has carried me through this week, which has been full of meetings upon more meetings upon...well, you get the idea. Despite the late nights followed by early mornings, I have the kind of energy that I got last semester from running. I have used that energy to restart my weightloss journey, and I am proud to report that I've lost 3lbs since Tuesday. While 3lbs in 4 days is too rapid to be sustainable, I can assure you all that it has been done through eating healthy, and I am positive that this rate of weightloss will not continue. I think my body is just excited to be back on track, heading in the right direction for the first time in a while. I'm excited for what this semester has to bring, even if it means living despite the daily aches and pains. :)
Besito,
A
