Have you ever heard the term, 'Freshman 20'?
It refers to the fact that once kids in the USA go to university they put on a heap of weight. Could be due to not being under mum and dad's watchful eye, no home cooked meals or the partying that coincides with this time of their lives.
I am myself experiencing this phononama. Well no I haven't gained weight, but I understand why they do.
You see I have just started studying a bachelor of education. These school holidays I have been sitting at my computer writing assignments for long periods of time. Instead of moving away from my computer and having lunch I have just been grabbing whatever I can find in the pantry. Most days my lunch has consisted of a bag of potato chips and a banana. Shocking I know.
I need to set some rules in place for the days that I have a lot of work to do at my computer.
Rule 1) No food allowed at the computer
Rule 2) Take a break every hour
Rule 3) Make nutritious snacks that I can grab on my break
Rule 4) Sit down and eat a proper lunch
Luckily I have been incorporating a 30min walk into my morning routine, otherwise the scales my not like me after these holidays.
back to work next week and back to routine. It has been great being home for the past 2 weeks. Anyone want to pay me to stay at home and be a mum/wife/student?
