My Life in Bullets

I have been absent because there is nothing going on. So lets bullet this post :)

• My life is good and boring, yet its so busy. Crazy right?
• The scale is staying the same. A favorite shirt fits around my hips a little lose. I had stopped wearing it because it didn't fit at all.
• The weather is starting to get nicer. It was in the high 50's yesterday. Hoping its nice again today, class got canceled so I want to go walking with the dog.
• I missed my hair appointment on Saturday because I forgot to transfer my appointments to my new phone. I look shaggy.
• We were planning a vacation to the Virgin Islands but because of money (gas prices inflating everything!) we are looking somewhere closer. Any suggestions?
• BOOBs, BOOBs, BOOBs!
• Work sucks, I applied for a government position. I know the shut down is making things scary but I would be almost unfirable unless I really f'd up. Plus I would be a mile closer to home :) Fingers crossed for me. Plus a ton of other benefits!
• I am thinking of changing my degree path from nursing to teaching for the fact that I don't know if I will ever be able to not work so I can go to nursing school. I really don't know yet, I am still growing up so I have time to decide.
• I have my first math exam thursday. Wish me luck!

So thats about it. I have other issues to go over but they are way to deep for today. Unitl next time my dears.

School, Eating and PB

I am pretty sure that sleep F@$%'s my band. I took a quick nap before my class last night, I ate one bite of chicken and made sure I chewed well and it got stuck. I am in the car slimming the whole way to class and praying for a red light so I can spit out the door. I finally got to class and PB'd in the parking lot. Of course one of my patients from work saw the upchuck and gave me a weird look and kept on walking. My PB was testiment to how well I chewed because what came up did not resemble chicken. What a fun way to start class for the night. At our first break I decided to heat up the leftover and try again. After an hour I got it down, along with about 5 gummy bears.

Class was great! I think I am really going to like psych. The teacher is awesome and funny so it make the time go by quickly. I have my second night of math tonight. Fun fun. Not a math fan.

Overall my diet has been stellar this week. I haven't gone to the gym once though! I know bad Shannon. I plan on going this weekend. Work has just been killer this week.

Still I can't wait to step on the scale on Saturday! I should see good numbers unless I royally mess my eating up. Spending time with the hubs during the week is proving to be hard. As its said though distance make the heart grow fonder, or is that sleep deprived. Both are proving true lol.

My dog is really missing me. I got home took a shower and laid down and he was laying on top of me within a minute. I didn't even have time to get comfortable. I feel for the guy though, both of us are taking night classes.

Lets see minus the hectic work and school week there is nothing of interest going on in my life. just the daily grind. I think we might go see a movie on Friday which is a normal for us. Here is something interesting. The hubby won tickets to a concert this weekend. I have no idea to who but it should be fun. It's the second week in a row that he won tickets from the radio station he listens to.

I hope you all have a good Thursday.

Blah Blah Blah

I woke up this morning and I didn't feel like getting out of bed. Whoever decided that the military had to get seen by a doctor at 0630 in the morning needs to be shot. I have to get up at about 0500 every morning and it sucks! I went to bed at a decent time but it still gets to you.

I also start classes today. I am not looking forward to not getting home till 8pm. Wednesdays are going to be my crappy days. I wont get home till about 10:30pm. I will have to sit through 5 hrs of psychology. I think caffeine might be in order for those days.

I have successfully avoided the scale now for 2 days. It's much harder then it seems. I am hoping that I will see results even if its only a pound. I am sick of being stuck here. I have made adjustments to get the results I want. I just think my body has to remember what we are trying to do here.  I am sick of feeling like I am on a diet. I thought my restriction was getting to a good point but not so much anymore. Especially after this weekend. I love my band because without it I would never be down what I am but I guess I'm still frustrated. I know my blog has been filled with weight loss woes lately. I will try to be more interesting soon I promise :) 

I will let you all know how school goes.

Peeps Against the World!!

I am not even close to were I will be some day but today I feel strong! I feel like I have it all together. Ok, it might just be the adrenaline and endorphins talking from my workout an hour ago, but I feel strong. When I go to the gym and push myself farther then I have in a long time it gives me hope. When I get 826 calories burned in 45 mins I feel that I will not fail. When I eat right all day then have a great dinner, I feel like I can fight this battle forever.

...again it could just be the endorphins.

When I do what I am supposed to do in my head I can take on the world and bake a cake at the same time. ( a low fat sugar free cake of course )

I don't know were this is all going except that I feel good.

I saw today that over 80lbs was lost in the first week of the suddenly spring challenge...Wow! I am so proud of everyone! Careful though I am going to catch up now that I am back in full swing.

School starts next week so I am going to have to really push myself not to slack on my eating and time at the gym. I will have class on T/Th from 5-7:30pm and W from 5-10pm (not looking forward to those days. I am taking a math and psychology course. There are 8 week classes. Pray for me everyone I am going to need all the help I can get! I am thinking I will have to move my workout schedule to as follows: Mondays and Fridays at 3:30pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8pm and then Saturday whenever I make it out of bed. In between there I will have to work and do homework as well. Not sure how this will all work out yet but I am going to try. Also I have to prepare all my meals the day before so I am eating good for me food and staying within my calories. I don't know how all you guys with kids do this! Your all modern day super women.

I haven't been commenting to much on peoples blogs lately and I feel like I am losing touch with my peeps! ( anyone else love those marshmallowy sugar coated birds as much as I do?)
I will do my best to stay in touch with everyone over the next couple of weeks. Please bare with me. I love you all like long lost family!!!

Well ta ta for now.
