BAH! Why can't college kids like
healthier stuff! So I'm having a floor meeting tomorrow and decided to just get candy for it because it's easier. I have proceeded to eat, two starburst, two minature crunches, a reese minature, and a butterfinger minature!

I mean granted, I'm still under 1600 cals eaten for the day, but I still feel so icky! One thing I don't like about working out in the morning is - by the end of the day - I feel like my workout was nothing and that I've totally screwed it up by eating. Well, maybe eating candy does screw it up but I still at least miss that post-workout gratification in the middle of the day that i actually did work out. Oh well. Contrary to what I said earlier, I'm going to weigh tomorrow AM just to see how far/close i am to being back at 218. Hopefully I'm at 219 but ya know we'll see. I

strawberry starbursts. They are so good. I kinda want two more but I know i shouldn't eat anymore candy. I probably shoulda waited til tomorrow to buy it but I didn't know how much time I'd have. Such is life! I

Candy.
So I got a phone call today and Res Services wants to know if I'd be interested in being a Summer CA which would be a great opportunity but that would mean I couldn't work as much in my other job. My best friend thinks that the extra money I'd make over the summer would be far more beneficial in the meantime since I've been struggling with money than to do this job for experience but I dunno. Any thoughts? I think I'm going to turn to the forums for some advice.
Anywho, I need to stay out of my room and AWAY from the candy so I don't feel compelled to scarf more down.

Guess what crazy MF got up and went to workout at 7 this AM?! You guessed it: ME!
Today is going to be an uber busy day and I really wanted to get a workout in
before dinner but I knew it wouldn't happen so last night I decided that I might as well get up a little earlier than usual and go to the gym! This AM, I cursed the alarm, "now, why the f*** am I getting up? Take your crazy a$$ to sleep" but I knew that I really wasn't
that tired and I should just get my a$$ up and that's what I did! I actually had a really enjoyable experience too. I don't know if I can make it habit because I'm not sure how it will affect my body, but I liked it. It's not as competitive as it is in the afternoon and everyone is kinda just doing their thing and that was cool. We'll see though. I had another great run today that was POST-Arc Trainer. After my 45 mins on the Arcy, I did 25 mins on the tready and ran for 20 minutes straight today. I'm loving my new increase in stamina. I'm also

ing running!

I'm learning that a lot of running is mental, and sometimes I psych myself out that I'm tired when I'm really just "tired" of running. I'm loving proving all these new things to myself!
While i was on the Arcy I was "reading" the new People with all the 100lb losers and whatever and oddly, I wasn't as inspired as i thought. I was actually fairly aggravated. Mostly because #1)I couldn't really relate to any of the women, #2)they didn't really detail their plan as much as I would have liked, and #3) I was aggravated by this idea of "skinny". Every single women in there was like 132 - 150 and I was annoyed because my goal weight is 170-180. To me, that's "skinny". So when I get to my goal weight and I start selling my body for money

, am I not going to be skinny enough to be featured? I'll be boastful when I get to my goal weight and I don't care; i told my brother, i'm selling my story to Tyra (i've always wanted to meet Tyra) because I'm going to be DAMN proud! But will I be turned away because I'm not 150 or 160? F*** that! If anything, when I
do get to my goal weight, I want to show people that you don't have to be 130/140 to have the "perfect body". If you feel good, that's all that matters and dammit that's all that should freakin matter. Our society is just so damn skinny-conscious and it's annoying! I'm not skinny and I'm in better shape than some skinny people! I'm in better shape than my 180lb football-playing brothers (Well, cardio shape) so I don't give a damn what these skinny stalkers have to say. I'll kick your ass anyday.
Anywho, as you can see, my workout put me in a diva mood today (maybe more incentive to go work out in the AMs). So here's the schedule today:
7:30 - 8:45 Workout
9:00 - 12:00 Work
12:15 - 1:05 Class
1:05 - 2:00 Lunch
2:15-3:55 Class
4:00 - 5:15 Group Project Meeting
6:00 - 8:00 Staff Meeting
Now that I write it out, it doesn't look
that busy, but I said it's busy dammit so that's what it's gonna be!

I didn't weigh today!!

I will Wednesday though so I can determine if I wanna weigh in Thursday or Friday. I'm cheating, i know, but this weekend was so bad I have to make myself feel better about myself SOMEHOW!
Anywho, I'm gonna get to work aka websurfing for three hours. Have a great day Ckers!!!

Candy is bad, just remember that D!
;) That's why we
:love: it so! For some weird reason I have been craving licorice candy lately! I never really liked it much, I have always been more of a jelly belly girl...Sorry for the candy rambling. What I wanted to say, was that exercising in the morning is great because you burn more calories throughout the day, due to the rise in your metabolism. As far as working as a CA in the summer, I say go for it! I loved attending the summer session, so relaxed! Have a good night, and remember, Starburst are made with reformed, melted down, and food colored boogers. That would work if you were Sarah!

Well one thing to consider is how all this college RA/CA stuff (sorry, I dont know what those words actually stand for but I realize it is some form of a floor advisor, right?) will look on a resume after you graduate. So that is absolutely a positive you can carry forward into the future....but....honestly how many part time jobs can you list on your resume (unless its something actually in your field)? Any volunteer work is very valuable for a resume because it quietly shows your ability to get along with others (esp THIS type of volunteer work) as well as your dedication. And having a blazingly HOT resume is something you will want and be proud of when you graduate -- it will help you stand out from the pack! Also, is there any way you can pick up any extra work that you can do from home while still fulfilling your CA responsibilities? I know when I was in college some kids paid extra to have people type/proof their papers. But then I am a dinosaur and I'm sure times have changed since the late 1980's.

I get my exercise done and out the way by getting up at 5am!! to make it to step class at the the gym on M,W,F!! lol
Seriously though, I agree with you whole-heartedly about the crazy mis-conception of what "thin, or skinny" is. Let's re-write the book and say we're going to be the best possible version of ourselves we can be! Strong and healthy! No matter what the scale says!
Have a great day! ~ Hugs and Love~ Kate

Can I just tell you how much I
:love:
:heart1: your diva attitude. You are so right on all of it - skinny isn't the ideal if you ask me. I have an extremely skinny sister and everytime we see her my husband says "she needs a cheeseburger"
:laugh5: I guess women put more pressure on ourselves to be skinny than our guys need or want us to be. Keep going girl you are doing great!

I love working out first thing, if I dont I know I will find a way to get busy and talk myself out of it!
:$ Plus, this is a huge plus, the people at the gym first thing AM are there to WORK OUT! NOt talk on the phone, and I know that is one of your huge gym peeves
=D Sorry to hear you pulled your butt, that does hurt.

I was complaining all of yesterday that my right butt hurt (probably my hamstring on that side) ... but then once my right butt stopped hurting, my left butt started to hurt!! So I can identify with your butt-pull

Great start to the day. Glad you are enjoying your workouts and your running. You are doing great. It took me a LONG ass time to get to where you got in short order. I agree with you....180 is skinny to ME! I'll take that!
