And thus the worrying begins...
Well, yesterday I had a doctors appointment to get some refills on my medicine, and to get a TB test for school. They drew some bloods for some lab work, and I was on my merry way…
Well today they called and apparently there was some elevated levels in my liver… They want me to come in tomorrow morning and get an ultrasound done to see what the problem could be. They think it may...

Healthier Every Day: Saw this on Reddit today →

Dear fat person at the gym:
I saw you at the gym today. I’m there a lot, so I know the regulars, and I can tell you’re not yet one of them.
You looked uncomfortable walking in for the first time. I could see you glancing nervously at the people in better shape than you, that combination of…
Wow, this is awesome…
Survey, please!

So far, I have 53 responses to the Do Life tour survey, but there have to be so many more people out there that plan to attend. Here’s the list so far, and if you click on the tab at the bottom you can pick by date or by city.
If you have friends that haven’t done it yet, give them a nudge, please?

Yeah, a gain…
Am I worried about it? Nope. I’ve made huge steps toward my weight loss goal this week, and I know I’ll be able to lose this again in no time. It does kinda suck to see the -30 go away, but I’ll get it back (and then some) next week.

Might as well jump on the SEC football...
Roll Tide!!!
Yeah… I’m definitely feeling that workout yesterday. My arms (mostly my triceps… which are by far the weakest part of my body) are KILLING me today.
I guess that’s the sign of a great workout…
Just got in from the Gym...
I don’t think I’ve ever had a workout that hard before… That personal trainer kicked my butt. By the end of the hour I was literally dripping in sweat… there wasn’t a dry spot on my shirt.
It made me realize how wrong I was doing my exercises… Once I got in the correct posture they were a lot harder.
I started off with a 10 minutes of cardio, in which I...
Bout to go in for my first session with the PT...
And I’m nervous as all get out… lol. This should be fun.
Well this weekend has been pretty productive...
Ok, maybe I didn’t exercise like I should’ve (bad, I know), and maybe I didn’t eat as well as I should’ve (but I did eat decent…), but this weekend marked two pretty big jumps in my weight loss.
The first jump is that I signed up for a personal trainer, which just so happens to be a friend IRL that recently got licensed to do it (and let me tell you… this guy...

NSV!
Last week marked the beginning of shorts season here where I live. Wanting to brace the season I searched and searched for my shorts, only to find a 4 year old pair. They kept slipping off. Even with my belt on the last hole… I got excited, but then realized they were an old pair, and prob. just stretched out over the years. Well today I found a pair that I bought middle of summer last...
Thanks
Just wanted to take the time to say thank you to everyone who replied or messaged me. The more I think about it I really think I’m just still tired from the weekend. I really believe that I’ll feel 100% back to normal after I get a good night’s sleep… (which will come tonight… Tylenol pm induced or not… lol)
It was extremely uplifting to see you guys support...
Slipping into a slight depression?
I don’t know if it’s just that I’m tired still from the overnight stays at the hospital with mom (I still haven’t been able to get a decent nights sleep from it), or if the events of the weekend are just now starting to hit me or what, but I just can’t seem to be happy the past few days. I just feel so blah. Even when I’m surrounded by all my friends (where I...

Hmm...
I’ve ate till I’m satisfied both meals so far, and have only used 27 of my 68 weight watchers points…
Yeah… I don’t think I’ll be hitting my daily target today… there’s no way I can justify eating 41 points worth of food in one meal.

I’m still in shock over this… I thought for sure I was going to have a gain (or at the very least maintain) after being stuck eating nothing but vending machine food all weekend. Sure, the Hospital had a Cafeteria, but every...

Update on Mom...
Just got done spending night 2 at the hospital with mom. Of course that means sever lack of sleep for me, but mom is doing a lot better.
I’ll try to catch ya’ll up fairly quickly. As mentioned in previous posts mom developed a pretty sever case of Shingles (Every one that has seen it has said it’s the worst case they’ve ever seen). Anyway, the medicine she was taking...
courtneyloveslife asked: Hospital bed?! .....I guess I missed a lot while on my trip this weekend!...are you ok? :(
I'm so exhausted right now...
Going on around 7 hours of sleep the past two days, and I haven’t eaten since lunch yesterday.
At least I managed to stick to my water only regiment…
God I want a Dr. Pepper so bad…. but that will go against my water (and juice… but mostly water) only policy.
It doesn’t help that the vending area of the hospital has a plethora of cokes and only the smallest of small cups for ice water (which is more ice than water anyway)
MUST… RESIST…

Well, I’ve pretty much decided I want a bike for my birthday next month, but have had a pretty hard time deciding what bike to get.
I think I’ve narrowed it down to two choices though…
The Trek Gary Fisher Collection Advance for $569
And the Giant Sedona for $400
The problem is I can’t decide between the two. I really really like the Trek, but the Giant is almost...
Reasons I want to lose weight.
I’ve been really thinking about that lately. Why do I really want to lose weight? What brought about this change in my life? Why am I still doing it? Well, here is the reasons I came up with (In <Awesome> bulleted form of course)
I want to be able to go to stores and buy clothes, instead of ordering them online.
I want to fit in booths at restaurants without having to suck in

A new all-time low…
I’m still shocked over this. I didn’t get to work-out at all last week. I did watch what I ate though, and stayed within my weight-watchers points (didn’t even tap into the freebie “weekly” points). I also totally cut out...

Had quite a scare yesterday...
So before I start let me give a little background information (in case some of you don’t know)
Early 2009 my mom was diagnosed with Thymoma, a pretty rare form of cancer. (we went to MD Anderson, which is one of if not the leading cancer research center in the world, and they said they only see around 4 cases a year). Along with that she had superior vena cava syndrome and had to undergo...
The Weight-Loss Gods Have Spoken...
I had a moment of weakness in my Economics class today, and slipped out to get a snack (skittles) from the vending machine. I put in my dollar (school prices are outrageous), and watched with glee as the bag slowly came forth to fall, only to see it fall and get it’s corner stuck between the front glass and the frame holding said glass. The machine also has one of those hand guard in it,...

Why not… I’ll follow in courtneyloveslife’s lead…
I worry a lot… most of the time over stupid stuff.
I over think everything

I am extremely loyal
I forgive very easily

The past few days I’ve felt fat…
I mean obviously I am fat, so I should feel it a little bit, but I just feel fat, and I don’t know why.
I know I’ve ate better this week… (well as better as I can considering the offerings at school… but I’ve stayed well within my range of points with Weight Watchers) I’ve drank only water all week… and a lot...
