119

It's been a year already? This year I've been up and down and all over the place with my weight. Never been above 123 though, or below 115. Right now I'm in nursing school and 119.. Running 1 1/2 miles every other day, and trying to eat healthily. Honestly, I completely forgot about this blog until I needed somewhere to rant.
So I get this feeling that I'm strange for not having the slightest desire to go out drinking until I'm 21. All of my roommates, my friends, and nursing buddies included get smashed every weekend, every night. How can there be any fun in being drunk, sweaty, stinky, and generally acting the fool with crazy hair and a messed up grin? I'm really not sure, but they certainly find something entertaining in it.
For now, I spend every night of the week and weekend studying. I go on shopping sprees to de-stress which is a really bad idea because I don't have any extra money. It's all for my monthly $274.63 car payments. I tell myself I'll return the stuff later, but I never do. :/ I can't wait till I'm a real nurse with real money!
Of course, to make the stress worse, the boyfriend doesn't go to my school anymore, so thats really difficult for me... it's probably a good thing seeing as I don't have time to spend with anyone besides the nursing peeps I spend all day with. I love my boy.
Well, I better get back to studying.. I've two chapters left (had 5 earlier today).. big test Tuesday!

Day 132

So Ben and I hit the gym twice last week, and we're about to go again this evening... I've been eating plenty of veggies and drinking a good deal of water, so I'm starting to feel pretty nice :) (besides the stress of the Patho test I just took.. we'll see how I did)

Day 124

Hello Monday.. I'm proud of myself for drinking enough water today. I haven't done that in a while, so it was quite an accomplishment. Tomorrow morning my brother and I are hitting the gym together, so I'm pretty excited about that.. even if it means I have to get up at 6. I think I see a Starbucks in my future tomorrow.

Day 113

Well, I'm settled in at school.. just waiting for all my books to get here..
I'm just concentrating on eating a balanced diet. I forgot how it's a little more difficult here than it is at home :/
I'm feeling pretty good though because my face has cleared up for the most part, plus I lost 3lbs over Christmas break instead of gaining weight. Hoorah :)  Off to class now.

Day 101

Happy New Year! I started the year off right by getting enough exercise today :) Hooray for 2011, and bring on the gym!

Day 88

I'm already sick of Christmas Break.. already MORE than ready to get back to school. I just can't handle all the drama that goes on at home. It's always one thing after another, and I get so sick of it. Today I just started crying. I miss my boyfriend and his hugs. He always makes me feel better <3
Honestly, a month off is too much time. After a week or two I'm always sick of being home.. its not that I don't love my family, but after getting used to being away all the time it's overwhelming to be constantly bombarded by the everyday bedlam.. I hope I'm not becoming miserly. :/

Day 87

So I'm still sick, but yesterday I started my vigorous workout plan since my boyfriend and I are in a competition with each other to see who can lose ten pounds over the break.. not sure how healthy that is, but whatever.. haha
Last night was my younger sister's piano recital.. Tonight we're having a big meal at our house with a bunch of friends. I guess it's kindof like a pre-Christmas dinner. God help me cause we're having Bourbon Sweet Potatoes again.. I'm going to try desperately not to pig out. :/
