So today is the first day of my 50-day Challenge. The reason I chose 50 days is because that's how many days it is until I leave for Virginia again!!! So here are the terms of my challenge:

In accordance to the ad-VANCE-alot challenge, I will be on plan 95% = 47 days
Being on plan = 1600 calories, 1 hr of cardio minimum (on workout days), no drinking
I allowed myself THREE off days
I will workout FORTY DAYS of this challenge

So there ya have it! I'm gonna stick to this! I'd like to be down to 205 by the time I leave. I used to want to be 196 (-100) but -90 would be OK too. This AM I was 216.6 so hopefully Sunday I'll be officially -80. Alright gotta go!

Hey ya'll! SO I'm sure many of you are getting ready for your 3 day weekend extravaganzas !! Unfortunately, I'm on duty all weekend so I'm going to be chillin on campus. The good thing about being on duty is that I can be more disciplined when I'm on campus all weekend. So as soon as I got paid today, it's all gone! I'm not too upset though because I got everything I need for the moment: stickers for my license plates, groceries, a paid cell phone bill, and a paid credit card bill. So, you'll have that. I'm not too discouraged. At least I had the money to do it! Today after work I'm heading to the gym to get a quick workout in before it's time to check in for duty . I can't wait to go to sleep tonight and not stress about when i have to wake up! [I wish there was a sigh of relief smiley] This weekend is going to be relaxing. I wish I had a book to sell back so I can have alittle bit of cash! Oh well. Anywho, it's fabulous here in OH! Have a great weekend my lovelies!!

So today's weigh-in was OK. I didn't burn as much as i would have liked, but you'll have that. I really wish my self-esteem would stop going UP and down the way it has been lately. One day, I'm so confident and no one can tell me anything. The next, I'm comparing myself to just about every woman I walk by thinking "is she prettier than me?" I guess I just wish I had SOME kinda courting options and I'm sittin' in a dry well right about now. I have NO prospects! Now, old Denita (like high school Denita) always had a prospect. Shoot, old Denita was never fully single! Now, being fully single isn't so bad. I think it's a good thing but I don't even have anything to even tempt me into thinking there's hope! I guess I just figured once I lost a lot of weight that everything else (i.e. "love" ) Would be easy. Apparently, that's not the case. I just can't wait to get some friends and stuff. There's this girl I'm a CA with who is great and she and I have been bonding lately and tonight we may actually hang out, but there are so many people I want to get to know but I don't want to seem desperate or anything. Blah. My life is just changing every day and it can be overwhelming sometimes! I'm sure I'll be fine. I need to go eat dinner. Lataaaaa...
