Week 7? Weigh In

I forget what week it is and I'm too lazy to go back and look. Happy to report that I lost 3 pounds this week!! I am now down 6.6 total and I got my 5 pounds lost stick tonight. I don't know how I did it because I didn't really eat that well this week!

I'm so busy!!

I started school last Tuesday and I am already swamped. I cannot convey the depth of material you must learn in literally a day. It makes me sick! And then when I try to have some downtime and relax, I can't because I feel guilty that I'm not studying. And despite all that, I still feel like I know nothing. Ah!

My weigh in last week was on Wednesday because of the holiday last Monday, and I gained .6lb :(  So I'm only at 3.6 lbs lost total right now. I knew I was going to gain. I have been eating like crap, I ate Arby's today...I just got a couple things off the dollar menu but it LITERALLY ate up all but 4 of my daily points. HUGE mistake! My next weigh in is tomorrow and I know it's going to be bad. I need to get it together...it is so easy to not pay attention to what I'm eating now since I'm so busy with everything else.

Not much else is new and I don't have much more time to write about it anyway... I have to start heading to bed!

Crickets

Does anyone read this anymore? Just curious. Please feel free to leave an anonymous comment! I used to have a little circle of blog buddies but everyone slowly drifted apart, and then I went on a long hiatus. I probably should start looking for blog friends again!

Week 4 Weigh In, and my life for the past week

I GAINED .8 pound. AHHH!! To my credit, I got my period yesterday; yes the exact same day as my weigh in. I usually gain 2-5 pounds when she's here, so really I have a feeling I actually lost this week, but since I had to get my stupid period, it just makes me look fat. Blah! I hate being a woman sometimes!!!! I'm commited to working out more this week.

Of course going to Trivia Night at a local bar last night probably didn't help my weight loss any, lol!

I've started prepping for school now. I did some dosage calculations last night, that are due on the first day. I need to read/take notes but man I am so bad at that. Give me homework and I'll do it, but having to read and take notes on my own is so boring to me, I just procrastinate on it so bad! Like everything else in my life, I need accountability!

I went to the Corning Museum of Glass last Thursday, http://www.cmog.org/  It.was.awesome!!!! It's about an hour and a half south of where I live, but I'd never been there. It was the most beautiful museum I've ever been to. Of course I didn't take any pics; I figured any pictures I took wouldn't capture how awesome it was. It was one of those things that you need to see in person.

I need to post some pictures. I seriously have not uploaded any pictures this entire summer, and so now it's become an overwhelming task which I keep avoiding.  I'll get to it...I promise!

Week 3? Weigh In and ramblings

Was it week 3 or only week 2? I had joined 3 meetings ago, so it was the 3rd time I was weighed, but the first time was my starting weight. SO is it only week 2 or is it really week 3?

I lost .6 lb at my weigh in on Monday. I was pretty blah about it. I worked hard this week and it was frustrating not to see more gone. I should be happy though because at least I didn't gain, and at least I lost a little. My weight is severely affected by my menstrual cycles....and I'm in my PMS week this week so I'm wondering if that messed with it. I seriously gain about 3-5 pounds when my period is visiting...I should just skip the weigh in next week. Lol just kidding of course! My mother meanwhile is down 5 pounds total and got a sticker at the meeting lol. How does she do it!

Fingers crossed for Eric again. He has an interiew tomorrow. He applied to the job and 20 minutes later they called him. We don't get our hopes up because this has happened before and nothing. I wish *I* could go in there and tell them what a great person he is and a focused worker. Seriously, when that man is on a task he thinks of nothing else but getting it done. I wish I could picket with a sign exclaiming "hire him! hire him!" But I don't think potential employers will appreciate a psycho slightly overzealous girlfriend so I'll refrain and stay home.

My mother has Thursday and Friday off so I think we're heading down to the Corning Museum of Glass tomorrow. I've never been there (although I did once go to Corning, 90 miles south of here, for a band competition when I was a sophomore in high school and in the school's colorguard to appease my mother. My colorguard/winterguard experience could be an entry all on it's own. Oy!). Anyway, I'm kind of excited about it!

I now start back to school 2 weeks and 6 days from now. AH! I cannot believe the denial I am in about it. How can this fabulously long summer be drawing to a close? Am I ready for the stress that nursing school entails? Last semester I was new and had no idea what  to expect. Now I know. Whoever said knowledge is power must have been a teacher. Knowing is scary!
