Hello Friday!! -Kim-

First off let me say Happy Friday to everyone!! Not so happy for me seeing as I have so much work to do this weekend, but I am def. trying to do all of my papers on top of my walking. Oh God Please Help Me... I need to pull a miracle out of my ass lol.

I have never needed a break in my life as bad as I need one now being a full time student with 5 classes isn't that bad until its 5 days a week so you have no down time. Who's bright idea was that you say? Yes it most def. was mine! So I did end up getting a 79% on my math test so that's good, even though I'm one of those people that aim for A's on everything but never succeed haha. I've got B's on my first 2 tests and in one subject I suck in and one subject that's just hard to remember everything, math 083 and psychology 103. So I really can't complain too much I guess. I just hope I at least get a B on this paper for sociology I have to write a 5 page paper on one question. ONE QUESTION?? and it can't have my opinion in it at all. ready for the question How is deviance needed in today's society. I cant use Internet sources only real books from the library and I need at the minimum 4 of them. This is going to completely suck some... well you know.

Moving on I tried to go to the movies last night with the love to see sanctum and it wasn't in any movie theatre around us. Hmmm how is it that sucky ass movies stay in theatre's longer than good movies? Sanctum just came out on the 4th of Feb. and is already gone but the rite came out in Feb and in my opinion was BLAH and its still going strong. I don't get it at all. Oh and life as we know it is still out too and it was "Dry" yes dry as in boring, not worth seeing. The funny parts on the previews were the only funny parts in the movie. Also the ratings critic's are giving movies now days are just way out there. These people are being too nice or they just want us to waste our money because its usually if they say its good its bad and if they say its bad its good. I say Screw Critic's they get paid to watch movies and write a review on it and they can't even do that right. hahahaha. Wait thats not funny that's just sad!

Well I'm off to do more school work break is up. Hope all is well with you guys. Let me know if you have anything to share. Get out and exercise and keep up on your diets. Congrats to those who lost weight this week and keep your head up to those who didn't. Talk to you later. Enjoy your weekend TGIF!!

And Then There Was...A Cheat?? -Kim-

So as you all see my fellow blogger brittany has finally blogged a couple days in a row YAY! lol Now you don't only have to read my boring blogs. Congrats britt for keeping up with the diet and for starting to i guess you would say be more serious about it.

In bad news I have no idea if I stayed in my points today. GASP i know right I don't think anybody has heard that from me for a good while. I don't know what it is but I cant cheat. Im determined!! Any way though back to me maybe going over points I went to cracker barrel and asked them for nutrition info. and they told me they dont have them in the stores to try the website they know its on there. So lucky that i have a good phone I got on the internet and looked it up Let me give you a little example of what this nutrition info looked like.

All of our food is made with high quality ingredients... blah blah blah

                             Turkey sausages are available for substitution of regular sausage
                             Grilled chicken and fish are on the menu instead of fried
                             Side salads are available for one of your sides
                             Salads are also available for entree's
So ummmm what are the fat calories carbs etc.
They actually wrote they don't know...well what ever happened to guesstimating???

So yea I had a half of a chef salad and a cup of vegetable soup which is really about a half of a cup. Idk how many points that is but I would hope not too much and that would me I stayed inside my points. If not I went over but I guess thats ok since I never go over my points. I keep to my diet like a crack head keeps to his/her habit lmao..... yea random I know

So once again I was in school during the day which was just chilly and now that I'm home and want to walk its cold outside again. Im not getting this weather how is it a high fifty degrees one day and then the next its low forties or thirties I don't get it one bit but its frustrating me. I JUST WANT TO WALK!! :(

Well Im about to get ready to go to the movies with my bf :) and see sanctum and then come back home and hop to all these nice papers due on monday... 2 more added on that list. So I now have 4 papers due monday morning. Wish me luck. Ttyl and let me know if anyone has any news they wanna share. Keep up the good work!!!

Not Bad

First i want to give a shout out to Kim (you called but i was at work so if u see this soon call me again lol). So yeah big ups cause while you may or may not have lost anything u didn't gain your still moving towards something not backing away kudos. So in other news I did good today...I think. I stayed with in my points, and i went for a walk. I didn't exactly count my points but i did make healthier decisions. Smart ones are on sale at target so im gonna go load up on those and pop chips for work. Now that the weathers getting warmer i can walk to work and walk my son to the park. The warmer weather has also got me thinking of bathing suites and its making me anxious. I've got this vacation coming up and every time i think of it i just want to go to the gym and run then the thought makes me feel sleepy then a lil hungry lol. I feel a new pair of running shoes are in order because i need some motivation to hit the gym after working 8+ hours. I was thinking about taping my old bikini on the wall ideally i'll be able to fit into it buy July. Well time to get ready for class gn readers.

Upset but at the same time not -Kim-

So today was my weigh in. Hmmm. What an interesting story. So as you all know I have been walking. Sat i walk 5 1/2 miles Sun I walked 5 1/2 miles and Tues I walked 2 miles so I have walked 13 miles since sat. I have not cheated at all and I rarely ever do. And I mean RARELY. So to continue this story I loose at least 2 lbs every week. I weighed myself on my scale and it said I lost 2 lbs and my scale is usually off 1 lbs so i was like ok well i lost a pound at least. I go in and step on there scale and the woman says you stayed the same. How is this possible when I already know the difference of my scale and theirs. Get this this though I hand her my card to ring me up and she tells me its denied I looked at her with this um what face and said "thats impossible I know there money on there" and she goes "hold on let me get my glasses"(mind you she already printed my sticker with my weight on it) and she says "oh let me get my glasses...oh well that makes sense I put zeros where the ones were" So my question is do they type the weight in on the stickers because if they do did i really loose 1 lb and she saw a zero like with my card???

Oh well... such is life. I exercise more and weigh more I saw this coming but later on. I don't think I gained muscle yet. Strange. Its ok though I'm keeping my head up because I am already proud of what I accomplished so far and how I am now accomplishing walk wise. Theres still more weight to be lost and I am motivated more than ever.

As for my math test yesterday IT SUCKED!! lol I went in there thinking I would do great and I think I just did Ok.... I guess lol.

I now have a new goal. I am trying to walk as much as possible in a month... well duh but now I have a minimum amount of miles I will accept from myself. I have to walk at least 44 miles a month. Considering I already walked 13 this week I think I should be Ok, but Im still scared Im going to mess this one up. See Im going to Ireland the last week of march until april 3rd I think. Im gonna be so frustrated!! I have to somehow get my walking in and monitor points while still enjoying my vacation, and not stressing my bf out. This is going to be VERY interesting!!

Well I have a 5 page essay to start writing and a thousand page essay. UGH! So I will talk to you guys later....

ughgh--->Brittany

I ate Chinese food today...i was looking forward to that Chinese food forever so i broke down and got it now i feel terrible. I feel this way every time i eat something greasy or just plain terrible for you, you know that nauseas heart burny feeling. Definitely gonna look up some healthy recipes tomorrow lots of fresh foods, lol i'm starting to hate fast food cause its a lot better in theory than it actually is when you eat it. Sorry but i'm just starting to realize this. I'm gonna invest in a nice lunch box and Tupperware set for food transportation. Oh and I just realized i haven't been counting my points at all just guesstimating making up my own points ( I know terrible ). Im gonna get some smart ones meals just to make things simpler that way there wont be too much counting. Oh and i've been craving chocolate so i found some whitmans chocolate crowns (kinda like turtles) but there endorsed by weight watchers and are pretty good. Pop chips are my favorite snack but every time i bring them home there gone before i leave for work so def gonna get a bag just for work lol.

I dont know... -Kim-

I just don't know what is going on but I have been soooo tired!!! I think it's because I haven't been walking... or the weather I don't know. 

So on top of feeling tired all day long, I had a math test. Anyone that knows me knows I hate math. Ugh most of it is so rediculous because who is really going to use this in everyday life? Not me! Im going for nursing not to be some kind of math genius. Nursing all you need to know is adding subtracting multiplying and dividing numbers decimals and fractions. You don't need to now how to factor, solve equations with variables etc. lol Im all heated over here for no reason at all well except the fact that my school makes up classes that you "Need" when you really don't.

Another good example is ACDV (academic development) which in their way of explaining it is transitioning from high school to college. Hmmm well lets see I've been out of high school for 6 years I don't think I need that  and I have already been in college but it "Mandatory" This is called we want these peoples money so we are going to make up bull shit classes for them to sit through. WTF? not only is it 100 and something bucks but its worthless info. that nobody really need.

And now the last example before I move on. Why must we take a placement test to see where we need to be then it mandatory we take the class even though it's a noncredit course? You would think they would let you just take it and if you fail then you know where to go. I had to sit through math 081 and 082 which was baby math. Even my teacher said why the f**k are you here? lol too funny. All I could say after laughing was because this is where I was placed. They just want my money :( 

Moving on I took another walk today. It was 2.03 miles I believe. It was easy. I walked it in 40 mins. Idk if thats good or not. At least I will figure out if not walking is why I'm tired today. I walked 5 1/2 miles on saturday 5 1/2 miles on sunday and 2 miles today. Yay! so so far this week *which is sat to sat* I have already walked 13 miles! Im aiming for 44 miles a month at the least. We will see.

I weigh in tomorrow night. I stepped on my scale which is usually only 1 pound lighter than ww scale and its showing I lost 2 lbs again :) I hope its not wrong and it would be even better if it was more. I will let everyone know tomorrow. I know I ask this all the time but anybody have anything they would like to talk about? Good luck on weigh in's and everything else that might be coming up. Well thats all i have to babble about. Talk to you guys later, unless you email me.
