What a week so far.

Wow. What a week it has been and it's only 3 days since my last post!

Monday wasn't so great. My weight went up by .4 lbs (I knew it would though considering that I had a TON of sodium the day before). Other than that not much going on except I had to return books to the library and pick up my term pass for spring term (not bad )

Yesterday started out AWESOME, then turned to crap. I weighed myself (because I knew Monday's weight gain was water retention) and the scale said 239! Was weird though, I thought I'd be so much happier once I got into the 230's. Don't get me wrong I was happy but not ecstatic :\ I don't know if it is because I was in the 240's for so long it feels unreal or if it just hasn't sunk in yet. Then I went and checked my grades from school I received 1 A, 2 B's and a pass (pass/no pass grading option). That means I made honor roll! Woot! That I was happy bout.

After my AMAZING morning my day just went downhill :\ My grandmother has been in the hospital and her health took a turn for the worse. My aunts wanted my mom to get down there but she couldn't because she didn't have the gas, doesn't know where the hospital is and can't walk to a bus. My sister Christina is an hour away, Heather didn't have the bus money and Melissa didn't want to go. So that left me. Except one problem. My aunt didn't want me there and my grandmother didn't want to deal with it and both of us being there knowing my aunt doesn't like me would stress her out so I got halfway to the hospital to be told my grandmother didn't want me there :\...awesome... I went to a friends and hung out for a bit but just was really eh. I wanted to be alone/with my boyfriend. People kept trying to talk about things and sometimes I need to process stuff privately before talking about it ya know?

Today My boyfriend and I are SUPPOSED to meet his cousin that he hasn't seen since he was like 5 but I'm not sure that will happen.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my scholarship mentor at noon then need to go meet my boyfriend at work so we can go turn in our apartment applications *crosses her fingers* ( I'm nervous).

Then friday I have to go to the trimet office and pick up my friends bus pass (she has 2 small kids so it's hard for her to get down there to get it herself) and then take it to her. Then anxiously await the results from the vet (Matt is taking teddy in because he is limping a tiny bit).

Then saturday....Well I guess I have saturday free. My classes open online on sunday then monday classes start. (YIKES!)

Busy week, Hoping I stay on plan, I want to get back to my 2-3 lbs a week loss I had before. Matt is doing AMAZINGLY well in 2 months he has lost almost 30 lbs. Almost 10 lbs more than I have. WOW. Makes me want to speed up though so that I still weigh less than him ;)

I think that is all for now. Will update again soon ;)

Finals are ended

Finals are finally over. The apartment hunt with the BF continues. I pigged last week. Majorly :\ Ugh. 3 days of binges. Thankfully I managed to still lose .2 lbs as of this morning. I SOOOO want out of the 240's I HAVE to crack down. I know I can too, I just....yea IDK what is wrong with me. Hoping I will be down a lb tomorrow. I'm gonna try a fasting thing today and see what that does. I heard Intermittent fasting was good for PCOS. Maybe I will give it a try. I always preach not to not eat but honestly, our ancestors didn't always know when food was going to be present, we are designed for irregular eating. I am going to eat no breakfast. Have subway for lunch, then no dinner and see what the scale does in the morning. Then I will eat as normal on Monday. If I can do this, I think I won't not eat every day, I would at least have dinner or lunch, something. Also, I would only do it 1 or two times a week plus count my calories for the rest of the week. See how it goes. My boyfriend is doing GREAT 5 lbs gone this week *not fair* He;s almost to my weight now! I gotta hurry up, or he will catch up LOL.

Still waiting on my grades from my classes *bites nails* it's sooo hard. I'm worries about how I did on my final papers.... Ugh. At least I know I passed math!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Wow am I ever busy this week! Saturday I went shopping with my BF (he can't cook, and doesn't know how to shop) then we saw 21 jump street (YOU MUST SEE IT!) Sunday I spent at the mall with a friend of mine rebecca, that was fun but being at a mall with two rambunctious kids was defo a new experience. Yesterday was spent selling my books back and finishing math homework since my final is on thursday. Today I am meeting the BF for lunch then after he gets off work we are going to look at an apartment, THEN I have a conference with my writing teacher (uhoh....)Tomorrow I am finishing my two final papers (ugh papers). Thursday is the final and an interview to volunteer at oregon partnership. then friday I help my friend move furniture and boxes and on saturday My BF and I are looking at another apartment. I THINK I get to rest on sunday....maybe.... HEHE. With all of that going on it is going to be TOUGH to stay on track. I must not derail now though I was at 241.8 yest morning almost out of the 240's WOOHOO!

230's here I come! (oh btw, only 41 lbs to my first goal and 71 to my ultimate goal YAYAY!!!!!)

Righ I gotta hustle and eat my oatmeal or Im gonna be late meeting the bf (takes me 2 hrs to get to his work by bus)

I did realize something recently though. Jan/feb/march is where I started losing last year...I think I wall in to the winter funk and can't lose then really. I find I lose best during the BEGINNING of the year...and kind of taper off as the year progresses, specially around September and October. Hmm....who knew? 


Anyway, that's my story. I hope to be posting more regularly now. Btw, Here is a pick of Matt and I :D

And of course, Have to include a pic of his adorable newfoundland Teddy!
