Sunday fun day - 124

Another weekend disaster. I'll need to do a lot of work to make up for it. I ate Mc Donalds, gah! I'm up 2 pounds. It was my old roommates birthday yesterday, so I went out with all my old colelge friends that I haven't seen in a while. They're great - but I don't really miss them or their shenanigans, pot smoking, and shot taking.


Can't even count what I ate this weekend, Friday and Saturday. Plus copious amounts of alcohol. Next weekend is my roommates birthday, plus we're eating at Old Chicago. I'm going to have to plan wisely. No drinking this week with my girlfriends.

Today:
B: Lettuce wrap, turkey, cheese, sprouts - 120
S: Left taquito- 150
D: Subway - 420
S: Chips - 150

Total: 840

I hope I'll get back soon.

I'm panicking right now, I accidentally turned in an assignment late and got a zero on it. If I get no more points docked anything else off I'll get a 95%. But what if I do? I'm terrified right now, how stupid of me to not even notice when it was due. I thought I was turning it in early! Little did I know I was a week late.... :( I feel horrible. I know it sounds petty, but I've got to get all A's. I'm going to be very upset with myself if I don't.

I applied for another job today. 4 applications out, 1 interview set up so far! It is a bit nerve wrecking applying for preschool teaching jobs when I don't actually have my license yet. I will be taking the big test on March 13th. I have yet to start studying though. That's not being very proactive is it...

Last week of school. I have two large projects to do, edit my entire TWS again with the corrections from my professor, and do a reading review exam. I could start doing those tonight, but I probably won't.

Tomorrow's plan.

B: pear, oatmeal - 250
S: At school? - 100
L: Tea, salad - 200
S: At school ? - 100
D : Taquito, green beans - 300

Gym: 5 miles

I did 7 last Friday, It was amazing. However my hip flexors are in serious pain (like always). They're getting better, so hopefully tomorrow will be better and I can run!

Geesh.

I have Friday's off. So today I plan to do a long run at the gym (6 miles I hope!), got to caribou and get a test done for school, and maybe do a little shopping in St. Cloud. I'm sick of being in this house alone. I'm getting so lonely, the only people I see during the week are my classmates or preschoolers. I simply can not wait to be done house sitting!

I don't know how today will pan out for food.

B: granola/yogurt/banana - 230
S: bun with almond butter - 112
Caribou: medium cappaccino - 50
L: Subway maybe - 420

My favorite day! 122

I love Wednesdays. I start school at 8:30, and am done by 2:10. It's a short day due to student teaching at two different sites. However, last week is my last week of doing school + student teaching. After next week, I will be a full time student teacher. Bring on the stress! really though it shouldn't be to bad, in fact I hope it's much more fun and exciting then school is. Right now I look forward to school because it is mentally stimulating, where as when I am student teaching, I spend the day doing random tasks for the teachers or just watching. It gets VERY boring.

So yesterday's actual:
B: Cereal/banana 280
S: Choc. chip banana bread/peanut butter/pretzals 450
D: turkey, provolone, spinach, onions, wrap, 1/2 grape fruit 300
S: 1/2 grape fruit, cocoa; 160
Total: 1,190
Gym: Didn't happen.... :(

Totay's goals:
B: 1/2 bun w/ 1tbs almond butter, 1/2 banana, 290
S: ? (at preschool) 150
L: 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/3 cup granola, pear 260
D: 1 cup rice, 1/4 cup chedder cheese, 1 can green beans, 340
Total: 1040 About 150 left for flex. maybe I'll have a glass of wine tonight if I don't' go over on anything.

Gym: if I get my homework done, 3 miles!

Tomorrow I hope to run a 6.5 miler, maybe 7 if I feel up for it. I have to pick up some more energy bars!

I have been feeling pretty sad lately. Things aren't going as dandy as usual with the boyfriend, of course I'm sure he's oblivious to the fact. I'm just not feeling cared about the way I feel cared about. I need touch, hugs, cuddling, sincere touches. Things are getting boring, and I feel like he's making no effort to move forward. I can't wait forever, and I don't like boring. He is really wonderful, but so far I have yet to feel that feeling. I've felt it before, and I want it back. Maybe it needs more time, maybe he needs more time to open up and attempt to get close to me, maybe he's not right for me. Time will tell. For now, I'm hoping things will change for the better. I don't like feeling that I'm not getting the most from my relationship.

Did my first 6 mile run a few days ago. First time since the 10k last year. I as ecstatic! This weeks goal - 7 miles! Ran a 5K with my roommate last weekend. The Twincities Valentines day 5k. Did it very half assed, walked with her a lot. I wanted to support her in her first race. We had fun :)

Alright well, here we go. *licks peanut butter off fingers*

I'm starting this blog to create a place for me to log my miles, food, and to vent about why I just ate entirely too much peanut butter. I am 2.5 pounds short of completing my weight loss goals, totally at 30 pounds gone. I started my journey at 150, and currently sit at 122.5 (as see in the picture). I completed my first 10K last year, and am aiming for a half marathon this year. So there you have it. I am a petite person standing about 5' 3". My calories goals are 1,200 a day. However, the weekends are a tremendous challenge.

Weight Goal: 120 lbs
Fitness Goal: Half marathon / 1000 miles in 2010
