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. :/

Day 78

Dear Thursday,
You've changed.. no classes! hehe, I do love you. Besides the sinus infection that drove me to the Student Health Center, I'm doing great. This is the second day this week that I don't have any classes.. Hopefully I'll get enough studying in. I have enough time.. :)
"I'm a space-bound rocketship..."

Day 77

Yay for finals :) Seriously.. I took my Psyc final and shortly thereafter listed my book on Amazon.. my Bio book as well.. YAY ME. maybe I'll have money for Christmas presents :P

Day 73

So today I got another blow.. Gawdammit, I really don't know how much I can handle at once.. This week, my boyfriend almost left me for another girl, he went out drinking and lied about it ALL IN ONE WEEK. It leaves me wondering: what did I do? I mean seriously. Blast it all

Day 72

Thank God it's Friday! I love weekends, and I sure needed one..
Several good things: I don't have to take the Anatomy final, my English paper is due on Monday, not today, and my period is here.. meaning it will be over by Thursday. Woot :)
Right now I'm just thankful for my Baby.

Day 71

I am so frustrated today.. grrrr nothing is going my way. My boyfriend won't listen to me, even though I know he's trying. We almost broke up Sunday night, which was extremely stressful. I seriously hate girls who try to mess with a boy who is already in a relationship. I don't care whether she knew then or not, the fact of the matter is: SHE BETTER KNOW NOW.
So all this crap going on with finals, and I'm trying not to get too stressed out.. What a joke, huh? Yeah. I need to go running or something. I think I might hit the gym tonight after my Karate test. Time to go study for that.. it's in 2 hours. FML

Day 65

Well, it's the day after Thanksgiving.. I believe I did pretty well as far as the variety of food I ate. I had a small piece of ham, some green beans, green bean casserole, a roll, corn, cranberry-cream cheese layered jello, and a lot of bourbon sweet potatoes. After a glass of sparkling apple cider and a piece of autumn cheesecake, I was feeling veryyyy veryy full, so I stopped eating.
This morning my stomach is hurting a little, which may be a result of my over-indulgence.. somehow I managed to avoid the mashed potatoes and the other calorie nightmares we prepared. I know I ate alot, but I could have done alot worse. :) Yay for Thanksgiving.
It's raining outside and the relatives are still here, so we're having a cozy day with games and hot tea. I do love Fall.

Day 62

So I'm home for Thanksgiving, and though I have a gobble lot of homework to get done in my 5 days off, I'm feeling quite nice right now. I've had a warm shower and I'm getting sleepy. So I better get to bed since I have to be up at 6:30 to milk the goats.
My time off came just in time. I thought I was on the brink of a breakdown.. saved by the bell.. or the turkey.. or sweet potatoes. Ahhh, I love this time of year!

Day 61

Honestly, right now I'm thinking "Who am I kidding? I'm not getting anywhere; I haven't been to the gym in a month." It's a horrid feeling, and I am quite tired right now. Horrid day, really. And I still have so much to do; it's 12:30am and I should be in bed.
I got my German test back today and I about cried in class; thankfully I held it in until I made it outside. 78%, WONDERFUL, seeing as I vowed to myself that this month I would only make A's in order to keep my grades up. Well there goes that.
I think I'm pretty much just ready for the semester to be over. I cannot wait for a good, long, relaxing break. :) Maybe if I close my eyes it will all go away.

Day 47

Wow. Hard Biology test.. and a Psyc test at 2pm. This entire weekend has been ridiculously busy. We went down to Florida and all I did the whole time was homework- all the way there, the whole day Saturday, and all the way back. I am so unbelievably ready for this semester to be over. Yay for Thanksgiving and Christmas!
I haven't worked out this past week because I have been so busy studying for the 5 tests I have today and tomorrow. I guess this is the life of a nursing major, huh? And the cafeteria doesn't open until 11am.. its 10:33.. I'm gonna die.

Day 41

Today.. not so good. It started off great, and then I went to German and got my horrid quiz back, and couldn't do the freaking exercise correctly to save my life. And I was TRYING! Yay me.
I'm starving and I'm supposed to go running tonight but I'm thinking that staying home and snuggling with my boyfriend sounds like much more fun. Movie, anyone?

Day 40

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm having a great day today because I went running last night, I've been pumping myself full of liquids today, and I don't feel as bloated as I did last night. Woohoo :)
I'm freezing.. so I'm settling down in my dorm room with a cup of steaming Caramel VIA, my homework, and my computer..
Tonight is Karate.. Life is Good <3

Day 35

I'm feeling great this morning! Had my Starbucks, a banana, and my multivitamin, and I'm ready to get this 3 hour Biology class overwith :)
Karate later this evening. Lets see if I can finish this water bottle during class :P

Day 33

Yay for Tuesday! I'm ahead on all my homework, and I got a good workout doing Karate.. now for some more homework.. blahhh

Day 31

So I went to the gym on Friday, and I'm still sore :) I guess that's a good thing! I weighed myself at the gym and I was 121.4 lbs. YAY :D that means I have lost 1.6 pounds!
This evening I will go running if I finish my homework in time. Right now I'm feeling pretty great about things.. although school is still rather stressful. Yay for taking too many classes and buying the wrong version of a book :/

3 words: Drink More Water

Day 27

So last week I broke myself in with the whole running thing.. This afternoon when I'm through with classes I'm headed to the gym. It's kindof a big thing for me at this point because I've only been there once this semester.
Over the past few weeks I have been cutting the sugar out of my diet, and I've been pretty successful with it. It just seems like there is sugar in EVERYTHING. This week I'm concentrating on eating 5 or so small meals of protein and complex carbs per day. I'm trying to get rid of this annoying fat on my thighs. UHG.
I'm realizing that my skin, digestive, and emotional problems are probably all branching from not getting enough water or exercise. Those are the hardest things for me, I swear!

Day 8

Wow, I've been a slacker as far as posting goes! I've added new requirements to my regiment:
1) as much water as I will drink each day (because I have a hard time remembering to drink any)
2) a Centrum vitamin each day at lunch
3) at least a little bit of time spent outside each day
These are not only to help me loose weight, but also because I have been breaking out ever since I got to school. I think it's stress coupled with dehydration, and not enough time outside. I'm also suspicious of my diet. Even though I make sure to eat plenty of fresh vegetables and lean meat, carbs, and dairy, I haven't been able to completely clear up my face for the entire last year. Today I wage war on acne. Clear complexions and healthy lifestyles (including EXERCISE) go hand-in-hand. :)

Day 2

So today was not a failure.. I ate a balanced diet and drank plenty of water.. walked 3 miles at a brisk pace. Tomorrow is a running day; hopefully I can fit it in seeing as I work all day. I'm feeling pretty motivated right now, so maybe this blog is actually working :) hehe, awesome.
Well, time for some serious studying. Tschüss!

Day 1

To start off with, I'm a sophomore in college and I don't have many friends, much less a workout buddy. I realized today that I am tired of eating junk food and not working out. I'm changing that, starting now. I'm giving myself a year to get back to the weight that I was when I started college, and I'm hoping this blog will be a tool and an inspiration for me to succeed, as well as a way to document my journey. Yay me :)
