33 days left...
Hey ya'll!!! So now that my brothers' birthday are over, it's time to count down til mine!

Honestly, I'm not really all that excited about 22. It's just like, what now?! I dunno, maybe I shouldn't complain.
So despite my thin mint blunder last night, I feel better today. Luckily I got to weigh-in later than usual and it was cool. 232.6. I'll be content if I can weight at 232.5
or if I'm lucky, maybe 232 even!

I'm just happy to be under 235! I can't believe the 220's are like 3 lbs away!!! That's crazy. I haven't been in the 220s in YEARS!! It's all happening so fast.
I'm really worried about my trip to STL and going home for Spring Break. I mean, I know it'll be fun, it's just the food and exercise that makes me nervous. Every time i get away from school, my diet (when I say diet, I mean what I eat, not my lifestyle change) seems to go to shambles. I'd
really Like to stick with it while I'm gone, but the "f*** it" mentality always kicks in and I just eat what I want. I just called the rec center in Cleveland and they told me they'd charge me $5 a day to go work out there, but it's only $40 for a year's membership, so I'm debating on if I want to buy the yearly membership or just do the $5 a day for now. Luckily I have a place to work out at while I'm home! That makes me really happy. If I have a place to work out and a computer to log at, everything should be OK. Now I just need to buy my mom a scale so I can weigh daily. I need to bring my environment with me so I can be accountable and sane! I find that when I don't weigh daily I don't care about what I eat that day b/c I don't see how it has affected me & my body. I am really going to have to take it one meal, one food choice at a time. While I'm in STL I'm going to give myself a bit more leniency j/b I have no idea when I'll be back there again! So yea, I'm stressing but I CAN do it! I can eat well.
Anywho, so here's the schedule:
Gym 12:30 - 1:15pm
Lunch 1:15 - 2:00pm
Library 2:00 - 5:00pm
Class 6:00 - 7:45pm
I'm trying to get my work done today! I'm really trying to buckle down and finish the quarter strong. It won't be as good as last quarter, but at least I can say I
tried to come out strong. Last night my brothers were so drunk. Gotta love 'em. I remember my 21st. Ah, memories. U can only imagine the craziness that occurred.
OK, gotta go meet my friend at the gym before she kills me!! Later l

velies!!

So today has been a fairly uneventful day. Went to the gym and did an hour cardio - it was fabulous. I did 45 mins on the Arc Trainer and 15 mins on the treadmill (8mins running and 7 mins walking

). I think that - when possible - I'm going to do an hour of cardio regularly. I've been LOVING running on the treadmill for those 8 minutes. One of these days I'm going to do 45 mins on the treadmill and then maybe like 15 on the stairclimber. Oh well, something to look forward to!
Anywho, I went to the school cafeteria today just to see some of the options there and - um yea - we're going to have to figure out a game plan for next year.
I wish I had something more exciting to write about but I don't!. I said I wouldn't eat another Philly Swirl bad but i am! Who cares if I go over on my carbs?! Later gators!

Depending on how long you'll be in STL it might be worth it to get the year membership. If you'll be there more than 8 days, definitely get the year (or if you think you'll be in STL again this year and it will total 8 days with this visit, get the year). If you're only going to be in STL for a few days and you won't be in STL again this year, go day by day (unless you think that might become an excuse for not going...)
