TUESDAY AM edit: I couldn't sleep most of the night bc i was thinking about registration....I'll leave my house around 6am today and just park at the college and wait till i see people head up to register. i'm going to be sooo tired later!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I promise to comment on more journal entries tomorrow, there are SO MANY!
today is going well which i'm happy about. I'll definitely update tomorrow or tonight in a more detailed entry. I'm shooting for a good day tomorrow. I do have to agree that my bingy 10:45 pm edit:
days are getting better. I try to keep busy or at least have a schedule. I also try to keep healthy food in my house. Most of all, I try to tell myself I am worth it. After I binged Saturday, I was bloated all Sunday and I am still not back to normal now! So, I miss the unbloated feeling and do realize how unhealthy it feels to be bloated. it's true!
I'm soo tired. Tomorrow I go to register for a course in the AM...I'll show up way before 9am which is the registration time so that I make sure i get into a course! I'm soooo excited! Then, off to work I go... Then I think I may move volunteering to this Thursday because I think I want to go to yoga tomorrow and call it an early night, unlike tonight!
Goodnight!
...i just called the college and it turns out i'll be waking up at 5am and arriving before 6 just to get on the line to register so that i get into the course. turns out people line up really early! ugh ugh! I definitely Don't want to volunteer tomorrow afternoon...but i probably should, for otherwise i might binge...i do that during stressful times... i will definitely work not to.
___________________________________________________
calories : 1160...probably a snack after a late yoga class. It starts at 8pm, ends at 9:30. The reason I'm going so late is because i showed up for an earlier one but was turned away because it was already full! oops. Everyone has New Year's commitments and it seems more people are going. I should probably leave my house really soon, even though it's only 7:20 so i get a good spot!
My calories are good because I've had a busy afternoon and evening. It always helps! But, sometimes you can just be running all around because a hectic schedule can easily catch up with you!
Exercise: 1hr, 50 min. (I did a short 20 minute AM walk today.)
Total exercise: 7hrs, 55min. okay, getting better! :)
my right butt cheek hurts soooo bad! i pulled something awhile ago and it keeps getting worse...especially when i sit on it, oddly enough! lol!
my day got better by the evening. yes, a bingy day though.
calories are 1415. could be a whole lot worse but my appetite got dampened later in the evening so i decided to use it to my advantage.
exercise: 1.5 hours walking yeah!
total jan exercise: 6hrs, 5 min.
as for the butt pain...isn't it amazing where we have muscles?
one more update: no yoga. I'll make up for it this week!
Sunday noon edit: Today is a new day. It started off with my getting some low cal, healthy, liquids to drink and lie in bed with to read and also snooze a little more. I was pretty tired. I went to sleep around 11:30 last night but my sister asked nicely for me to drive her to a really local bar like 5 minutes away around 12:30am so I did that...even though i was already in bed. After that, I drove around for a few more minutes with the heat blasting in my car, deciding that was a waste of gas and came home. Upon coming home, i couldn't get to sleep and I went back on the computer for an hour, half in a daze. I'm glad Saturday is over and that today is Sunday. This sure was a VERY uneventful weekend. I do plan on yoga today at 3...but its definitely gonna take some effort to actually get myself there. I also want to walk for a bit but I don't want to squeeze every last bit of energy out of my body before yoga. I sound like i'm 90 years old! LOL, i'm 25 and I should have all the energy in the world!
i will have a more poitive entry on my next post.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Saturday entry:
I made a bad choice and binged on a late lunch/early dinner. I couldn't go to yoga bc i was too full.
calories: 2700. I'm not proud of that and will definitely think a little bit more before making the wrong choice to binge. Tomorrow's a new day and I will not let today's bad judgement affect tomorrow. ugh.
exercise 4 miles. I am VERY full. dumb judgement today, especially bc i was really happy about my clothes and they're beginning to fit better.
total exercise: 1 hr, 20 min.
total January exercise:4hrs, 35 min. sheesh. ugh. haha, it'll get better.
Good luck on the weekend!
Re: the Cheesecake Factory. Get a to-go box and take some of it home for later. Enjoy (sensibly).
Hugs!
saturday morning edit: last night went well. Basically, there was a "quick" goodnight kiss since he would have missed his train and needed to wait a whole hour for the next one at 1:30am! no thanks!
I am not as attracted as i would like to be. arg. I am so used to being single that I am having trouble with the feelings portion of that. I think he may be more interested in me than i am in him. But, I'm STILL willing to give this a shot. Does anyone understand what I mean!?
He's a great guy. this is funny - he takes his time eating, really slow, and that has helped me to think about my own eating. It really helps.
We talk a ton about yoga and fitness, nutrition. sometimes i think we talk about this too much. then again, we do discuss other things too. but i just don't know, yet. we've known each other for a little under a month. not very long. we'll see...
one more thing, why is it that I get really antsy on the phone...i just don't love talking on the phone with him!? It's like a struggle for me. He's a good conversationalist...seems he can talk forever. lol, what a complainer i am!!! i should be happy to meet someone who likes to keep themselves busy and do different activities after work. what's up with me!? whatever, i have no strings attached. I will see how it goes. I need to just "roll with it..." :)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
today, in fact, was a better day. I made sure I felt well and dressed well today. I did my hair nicely and felt good at work. I also have a date later today, so I have to prepare for that. It's a date with the same person I went out with last Sunday. We have plans to go to the cheesecake factoy, which may not be the best idea because the wait can be VERY long on a Friday evening. But, how long can it be for 2 people!?
calories before an afternoon snack were 980. then, i had 12 sugarfree jellos, so now calories are 1100. I actually got really full and sick of them by the last one. Sometimes, I like to eat a lot of something low calorie just to feel that stuffed feeling but also to know i didn't destroy my calorie intake. I'm a little nervous for what to get for dinner but I think I also want to splurge on something a little heavier. The only problem with the cheesecake factory is the huge portions which equal too high calories on the heavier, denser foods.
I took a 20 min walk this morning and I WANT to take at least a 30 min walk now before i get ready to go out. I'm definitely a little tired today. Maybe I'll lie down before going out. I didn't sleep very well this week. For some reason, I actually had an issue getting myself to bed on time...I also had PROMISED myself this wouldn't happen after the winter break. I was actually going to work on going to bed really early. I may try this again...because i DO like to get up early in the morning to exercise...and know that when i get home from work i did already exercise! It feels good, especially if i just want to sit around after work.
total calories: i pray its around 2,000...after a big, but healthy dinner. some dressing/sauce on my foods. cool stuff like seaweed salad, sushi, seared tuna and other goodies. the good thing is, i stopped when full because the person i was eating with is a slow eater...so i ate slow too!
today's exercise: 45 min. tomorrow will be better.
total exercise: 3hrs, 15 min
I hope the date was fun! OMG I cannot wait until Brian actually has time to go OUT somewhere. LOL
Have a great weekend!
I'm glad the date went well. Don't be impatient with yourself; just enjoy the friendship and companionship. Don't be expecting some perfect Prince Charming. He ain't out there.
definitely feeling upset and unhappy today. Not happy and for some reason the fact that i have a crappy job and undecided future is bothering me today a lot. I volunteered for the first time in two weeks, i took two weeks off, at the hospital. I didn't mind being there and all of a sudden got REALLY antsy and couldn't wait to leave. I only go there once a week so i don't mind it at all...and it usually feels good. I did feel good at some point during the night, but i started thinking i was hungry, then thirsty, and then i just wanted to leave! Came home, hardly had an appetite, and ate anyway. I ate anyway a few times today in the afternoon.
total calories: 1555.
I am SO fed up today. I am SO angry. Nothing is working out. I thought i had all the credits I needed for my master's back in August. I could have graduated in August. but, i waited so I could list an honor society down on my graduate transcript. My advisor called me in early december, the same month i was supposed to graduate, to tell me that even though i fulfilled all the classes, I still needed to either register for ANY class or just pay 2,500 for my last 3 credits. (I got placed out of a class bc i already took it as an undergrad, but i still need to use the credits...still need to pay again bc my master's requires a certain amount of credits!) stinks. lots of money, too.
I first wanted to register for Anatomy and Physiology at the university but some of the class was during the school day and i work! So, i tried to register for an evening yoga class...and I tried for a bunch of other gym classes, but each one is full. I emailed a teacher, she didn't get back to me. She may not since she doesn't work until the last week of January. I may just show up to the class the week it starts and see if she would allow me to take it.
Next week, I will have to take the whole morning off on Wednesday and i also will not be in for at least the first hour on Tuesday. I am praying that I get into Anatomy and Physiology at my community college on Tuesday morning. Otherwise, I will have taken off from work for no reason and my chances of getting into the Radiation Therapy program will have diminished. Stinks. I hate to take off from work. I'm one of those people that only likes to take off days for an emergency...I never liked being absent, even throughout my childhood. In college I remember I skipped class VERY rarely.
The week after next week i will also need to take a half day for another entrance exam somewhere else!
Nothing could be worse right now. Nothing's going right at all! I know life could be worse...I could be on the street! right!? whatever.
I was walking on the treadmill today, 20 min in the morning. My mom came down the steps to the basement where I was and started screaming that I couldn't do laundry in the morning! I thought it would be ok since it was only a medium size load and she wouldn't be showering for about 40 min. I wasn't going to use up the hot water. She was so angry she dumped out the tea i made. So I banged down my nice large ceramic coffee mug on the counter and part of the bottom of the mug shattered all over. I threw out the mug but later took it out of the garbage since it is still very usable and i'm not buying another...and it's huge and good for dinking largs cups of coffee and tea.
as you can see, things are crappy at home. but i'm happy not to pay rent bc i cannot affort it. I'm just happy that I'm getting by even so far this year. I have not lost much money...and gained not a penny. It's expected as a teaching assistant.
i better get in a good mood before tomorrow evening...i'm going out to dinner on a date with the same guy from this past sunday. i cannot be all negative and then go on a date...i know i'll make myself feel better by then.
cardio has slacked and now i feel it. my energy is down. I could hardly do the treadmill this AM. I need more sleep i think.
anyways, that's that. I'm going on the treadmill now, 40 min to make exercise for today one hour. I can't do yoga tomorrow either...it'll be too rushed before the date. I do want to get back into it on the weekend. Maybe 2X saturday...maybe not. haha.
I'm upset bc i see success around me and I have none of it. I can't stand this. I went to school for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Life is sucky right now. Something needs to get better fast! I didn't study a ton for the two entrance exams that i will be taking. I know they are serious, but i feel prepared in all categories...and i know that i could only be more prepared in the science portion, but its only one portion of the test. there's math, spelling, english...all that usual entrance exam criteria. I just want this month to end. now.
:(
today's exercise: 45 min.
total exercise: 2hrs, 30 min.
BREATHE........BREATHE........BREATHE.....
Take one day at a time, one issue at a time. Pick one thing at a time to focus on and try to figure out how to make it a positive. I know it sucks when people around you seem to just walk into good situations, have things handed to them, and despite your hard work, you always seem to get the short end. (Story of my life!) But you can't do anything about everyone else - focus on you. What is going to make you happy, and what will it take to get it? Focus on an action plan rather than the anger inside you.
Okay, didn't mean to be preachy - just trying to give you a little pep talk... Try to have a good Friday!
I don't dislike my work, I strongly dislike the company...so I totally understand the frustration. One thing I do know, you will get through this and you are sure not alone. Take it easy and get some rest.
Until then, it'll just have to suck. Sometimes good things come out of bad situations.
I know it's really hard, when you just want to know what's going to happen, or to have it start happening, but nothing's happening and everything's still uncertain. It's a difficult thing in life. It still makes me very anxious to not know how things will resolve themselves.
All I can say is that if you really want to be a radiologist or a radiation therapist, you will find a way to make it happen. Maybe not this year, maybe it will take another year or 2, but you will do it.
I really hope today is better for you. I hope you will post to let us know you are doing ok.
Seems like the hits just keep coming some days doesn't it?
I understand about the schooling thing..seems like there are so many hoops to jump through, why can't they just make things simple?? And 2,500 for 3 credits? That's ridiculously expensive!! Dang....
Good for you tho, for in the midst of all your frustrations, you still managed to get a workout in, and that my friend, is HUGE!! I really admire that..need some of your determination to rub off on me...
Hang in there, this too shall pass...just keep your chin up.
Total calories: 1370 yay.
today's exercise: 30 min on treadmill.
Total exercise: 1 hr, 45 min. It's ok. maybe back to yoga tomorrow! :)
Today is going well...in the morning, I was running VERY late. No exercise or anything...not even breakfast. I took an extra serving of almonds with me as I left. I kind of liked how the morning went, aside from a little too much rushing. Perhaps I will not do morning exercise anymore...we'll see about that.
calories are going well. I am not feeling the need to be too restrictive BUT I don't want to go to yoga either.
good mix of healthy and less healthy snacks. Foods ranged from almonds to canned pumpkin to milano cookies to cottage cheese to tuna to hot dog...haha. and more!
pm edit: I accidentally went over because I forgot some things while calculating. I am trying to loose weight, that's why i like to stay in the 1500...going any higher almost is like maintenance. I stayed home pretty much the whole day. No yoga. I did walk, really slow like below 3.0 on the treadmill. total exercise is 1 hr, 15 min. I am getting nervous before tomorrow - work - i think.
exercise: 1 hr, 15 min.
calories: 1715
today is proving difficult...i have binge feelings without a doubt right now. if I want to eat within the 1500 calorie range, I only have about 250 more calories and its only 4:30pm. I did just have a snack of a protein shake with a good amount of carbs in it as well. I've been snacking a lot these past few days.
If i want to, which I should, I can go to yoga later at 5:30pm. But, i'm feeling tired and lazy. I could have went for a walk, but now the sun is setting and it won't be as enjoyable.
My mind is telling me that it wants some really flavorful microwavable meal tonight. Should I just indulge? Calories will still be relatively good, but not in the 1500s if I do that. I want something bad now...i'm starting to crave pizza. I think I'm just tired. and yoga is so out of the question, i'm not in the mood at all!
ok, gonna take another stroll on the treadmill. I walked this morning, really slowly. After the treadmill, I'm gonna read a little and try to finish the book I took out of the library especially for vacation. There's also some people that I have to call back.
For dinner, I think i will stay within the 250 calorie range...I just need to think of something I want that is here in this house - there's no reason to leave again to go to the supermarket!
Well, try to stay strong tonight. You know, what's with this self-imposed 1500 limit? Just have a reasonably healthy dinner, with moderate portions. If you go over 1500, don't let that be an excuse to totally go overboard.
You are strong, you can do this!
I hope that you stay strong tonight..Do you like cocoa? I know that if I'm hungry in the evenings (which i am ALOT) cocoa satisfies and fills me up..and stops the munchies..
You can do this!! You know you can!
I also wish I knew EXACTLY how many calories I was burning. I know the trick is to shave off 250 calories a day and burn an additional 250 calories through exercise..but because I don't know how much is being burned, I try to shave either 350 - 500 calories off my basic needs. It isn't a precise science, but it works for me anyway lol. I would love to burn 2000 calories a day in order to be able to eat more sometimes..lol
I am just striving for balance right now. I know when I was eating at or below 1700 calories a day while doing 45mins to 1-hour of cardio and then some strength training, I could lose. But before that, I had to start at under 1300 calories because I wasn't able to exercise much. So here I go again with that. After having built up to the 1700 a day...to cut that by 500 calories ia kind of brutal LOL. But I know this is best for me and works for my body and so I'll embrace it even if some days I have a grimace instead of a smile LOL
January 1st, 2008 AM edit: I was feeling a bit bingy in the morning. I made something relatively bulky and satisfying for myself - 1 cup egg whites on top of two pieces of whole wheat toast with some Parkay spray butter. I also had a cup of soymilk. Overall calories: 360. I ATE SLOWER, but probably not slow enough, and it helped me end the cravings. :)
My right part of my "backside" is sore, I think I pulled it doing yoga yesterday. OK, i changed my mind, i really don't want to go to yoga this morning. I'll go tonight. I'm too tight and sore and I'd rather walk on the treadmill, since I haven't been doing that the way I like to!
I am sure I will update more later... Happy New Year everyone!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DEC 31st PM edit: calorie-splurge today: 2360. it's ok, but i still need to go for a walk... :)
TOTAL EXERCISE FOR DECEMBER: 52 HOURS, 40 MIN. UNLESS I TAKE A WALK...THEN I'LL UPDATE. I AM HAPPY WITH MY TOTAL!
AVERAGE DAILY EXERCISE: 102 MINUTES OR 1HR,42MIN PER DAY! YAY
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I only got to one yoga class today. I totally didn't want to go back in the afternoon, so I didn't! :)
I plan to clean up, read, and relax instead. I have to clean the bathroom and finish laundry so that i don't have to do that tomorrow!
Eatingwise, I splurged a little. But you know what, that's ok! You know why? Because I didn't go waaaaay overboard and it was mostly healthy but there was a little junk, too. (yunk included two regular english muffins and chips)
calories so far are 1830, without dinner. I do plan on eating something later and calories will definitely be above 2000. I will walk on the treadmill later in the evening. My new year's plans were going to be going out do eat with people I'm not very close with and then back to their house. I decided against it. anyways, I've had some fun nights these past few days and that's fine that New Year's will be spent at home. It's not upsetting at all, and I planned it this way.
Hmmm, what else? I'm not feeling bingy right now, or hungry. Before I was, but like i've been doing, I tried to eat slower and it helped! :)
I still have tomorrow off from work - and my plan is to go to yoga twice as once I go back to work, I will not be doing yoga twice a day...only if I want to on Saturdays.
I used to eat really fast when I was younger (I think because my older brothers used to steal the food off my plate when I was little, so I got to where I inhaled my food...) It took me a long time to learn to eat slowly, and actually be aware of what was going in my mouth. It sure does make it easier to stop when you're full when you're a little more deliberate on what you're putting in there. Congratulations on making that step! Have a great new year!
I'm going to do like you do and start tracking my exercise tomorrow..Whats the most you have done in a month..do you remember?
Happy New Years!!
Good going on the yoga!
Monday AM edit:
I knew I would have a lot of workout hours documented this month because of vacation. As for January, I will probably not be able to reach that much exercise, but I will still aim to improve my strength and fitness.
I want this really bad! At first, turning 25 was kinda a move in the wrong direction. I was upset with my current job, that i still have, because of the salary and expectations. I was confused and nervous about my future way more than I am now. I was getting used to the new work atmosphere, didn't know my colleagues. It was all about change. Now, I am in the swing of things.
However, there is much still left up in the air before June. I will have to take entrance exams in January and finish the application process for the health programs I wish to enter. I also may be offered a band position for a total of two months or so. Yes, I would take it...and the reason is that I was to rise to the challenge because in the back of my head I know I can. It will definitely be a total challenge, but what is life?!
I am looking foward to a continued path of success in 2008. Like I said before, eating very slowly has helped me cut down on large binges. It gives the insulin levels in the body a change to work and then I end up feeling more relaxed, less shaky, and much more in control of the types and amounts of food I am eating. I also contribute my success to my desire. I have always had a desire to feel good and physically look good. I let my emotions get the best of me at the beginning of this school year. But, now I am ready to override those feelings. I do still get them, but I am able to work past a lot of them. The time I spend at yoga is really helpful, too.
Have a good day everyone!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sunday, 9:30pm edit:
i could have EASILY had 1230 calories but I felt a snacking urge and gave in. calories are still good though, at 1550. :) all that really matters is that overall calories are ok for today!
==========================================
Sunday after diner:
Hi all!
The date went well. He is a nice guy, easy to talk to. We have some things in common - we both love yoga, are slightly picky eaters haha, like to go to the supermarket, like fitness in general, have similiar personalities. We talked about more than that, but these are things I thought you'd find interesting!! We talked about our families, siblings...the usual stuff on a first date. Perhaps another date will follow next weekend. He needed a haircut though, really badly!, and said it himself. But hey, nobody is perfect!? I certaily am not! :) We went to lunch and walked around NYC.
No exercise excpet for walking around the city. I will give myself 30 minutes of exercise for that. Of course I did walk more, but I will just consider the rest of the walking to be part of my "daily routine" and not exercise. Tomorrow I will certainly do 2 yoga classes, as well as New Year's Day. :) Then, back to work and hopefully I'll do one yoga class a day.
calories are low since I was out all day and chose a healthy lunch. About 1230 calories...1430 now with a late night snack. but, when i ordered my salad, there was dressing on it. The waitor was not good...and we had to wait at least a 1/2 hour for our food. I could tell it would be a problem with whatever I ordered with the waitor, so I ate the salad since the dressing was light and not anything creamy.
total dec exercise: 51 hrs, 10 min :)
dinner calories, hopefully, were not more than 400. total for today: suprisingly 1550! wow! I ended up having a large side of broccoli (they had 3 sides to choose from). I can tell that the broccoli was steamed but definitely some butter was added! Not much though. I had a grilled shrimp salad. that's it. shouldn't be more than 400.
no yoga tomorrow. i have a date in NYC. We'll see how this one goes! I will try to do some good exercise tomorrow at the University gym for a change of pace. I want to see if I still have the stamina to run at least 2 miles. I haven't done any running for awhile.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Today has been a pretty good day. 2 yoga classes and 35 min on treadmill. Once I am not on vacation anymore, I will report less days with two yoga classes haha.
total exercise: 3 hrs, 35 min :)
dec exercise: 50 hours, 40 min :) I got it going on!
calories so far: 1150. I was actually a little bingy this afternoon. Then, I was drinking too much diet coke with caffeine and got shaky...and then I had to eat something for fear of the shakiness!!! the reason for the diet coke is that it has carbonation, which helps when i'm feeling bingy. I should probably just get some seltzer or something!
anyways, i'm going out to dinner at like 8:15 to a "crappy" place. At least that's my impression - it's called Vincent's Clam Bar...you can look it up online and see the horrible menu. Everything is bad for you - even the salads! yeah. so, i'm not in the mood for a large shrimp cocktail either - that would be a healthy choice. I also hate ordering cold salads bc i come home cold and hungry. lol. sometimes i do get salads though. it seems they don't even have sides to order! like steamed vegetables and other healthy things! I guess I will just stick with manhattan clam chowder soup! blah! Who would go out to dinner for that!? oh well, at least i'll be seeing some friends that i haven't seen for awhile! :) the people are all from college! :) two actually live in california and are here in NY for the holidays.
goodnight all! :)
Progress as of today: -5 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
You did very well yesterday. I, on the other hand, finished an entire bag of snack mix, half a huge chocolate bar, several cereal bars.... ergh... :-(
You know, the more I read about your killer exercise schedule, the more i am not surprised when you have binges for a few days. I don't think I could do that much daily exercise and expect 1500 calories to satisfy my body for very long. After a few days of that, I'd likely eat everything in the house...twice lol. I am stymied about how it is that you are continuing to gain weight, however, when your output is so huge. Perhaps estimating calories might not be enough? Maybe if you don't like counting actual calories, you might do better with the points plan at weight watchers or a low carb thing or something? I just can't wrap my mind around the huge output, the days of calorie levels that are really low compared to the amount of exercise, even with the binge days. I wish I could exercise for at least an hour a day, let alone three or four hours a day!

Glad to hear you're squeezing in a yoga class. calories are doing well - keep it up!
Workingit2 on 01/07/2008:
So happy that you have had good days! YAY!!
I went out driving today and saw that ALL of the fitness places, even the little ones, the parking lots were PACKED. Sadly, I'll drive past those same places in March and April and they won't even be half full. Just the diehards will be left lol.
I hope your backside starts to feel better! Have a great evening =)
legcramps on 01/07/2008:
I think your bingy days are getting much better, don't you think? Congrats on the great turn of events, keep it up!!
Okay, i'm challenging you in total exercise hours for January. No goal, we just have to try to beat the other person. I'm a sickly competitive person, so are you in????!!!!
dearerdiarist on 01/07/2008:
Oh you are soooooooooo good getting right back there after you were turned away. There are so many stories that you could have told yourself to blow it off today. Great job!!!
fritters on 01/07/2008:
I am glad that you are having a good day. It is good that you are willing to go back for the yoga. I don't know that I would!
Workingit2 on 01/07/2008:
LOL it did take much longer to comment on diaries today..lots of folks, yay!
So happy that you had a great day and that the guy you are seeing understands your eating. I know it really helps me that Brian understands I like to eat differently...it takes the pressure off and helps me feel even more motivated to continue. Good luck at your registration tomorrow!
Moody2 on 01/07/2008:
Great to hear that you had a good day! Hope you enjoyed yoga tonight..and uggg is right at getting up early and standing in line, but you'll be glad you did! Good luck!
kyrin on 01/08/2008:
I'm wishing you Good luck (and patience) with your registration. I remember when our colleges used to do registrations that way. It was so much easier after they printed catalogs and let us go online to register!
borntocry on 01/08/2008:
Hi HoP! Great to see you doing so well. Thanks for sharing the love a little with your helpful comments. I'm trying to take your advice and not let a "slightly" high calorie day derail me too much. I was doing quite well until Sunday. That was the first time in a long while that I found myself eating just for the sake of eating, because I knew my calories were already so high that there was no point stopping. And that's really a horrible frame of mind to be in!

Hope your able to get the classes you want. My nephew is going through that now at OSU. He is thinking about changing schools to someplace smaller, like Case Western Reserve. More options for classes he wants. Get some rest and have a great day.
caz on 01/08/2008:
Reading your comments reminde me that I have college tomoz..oooh dear, it's hard to get motivated for it sometimes. I go once a month on a wed, sat, sun..Can't believe it's came around so quickly.. Hope all goes ok with registration and you get to do the course you want..Keep up the grat work ..xx
CritterMom on 01/08/2008:
Hope you get that class you're trying to get into!
Good job on the exercise.
dearerdiarist on 01/08/2008:
Oh, such bittersweet memories of registering for college classes... Studying the catalog so carefully and organizing time constraints and then learning that there are no more openings or that a class has been cancelled... I didn't think that people actually physically lined up for the last twenty years!? Why aren't able to register from home online? Well good luck to you! Hope you get exactly what you want. Busy day, treat yourself nice.
legcramps on 01/08/2008:
Good luck with registration this morning! Yes, keep yourself busy today to avoid bingeing. I should take my own advice...
mcwoo40 on 01/08/2008:
Hiya,have a great day,Julie
CharlieAngel on 01/08/2008:
Good for you! You made the decision and stuck to it even though you were turned away. Good luck with registration....hope you get all the classes you want. Have a great day!
vvvzena2 on 01/08/2008:
Glad to see that you are so motivated, and sticking to it! I think the trick is to not beat ourselves up to much when we fall off of the wagon. We're human. According to my 13 year old, I may not be. But hey, what does a 13 year old know! lol I hope you get the class that you're wanting. Good luck!
workingit2 on 01/08/2008:
I hope you got a good spot in line!
Donkey on 01/08/2008:
Good luck on the registration!!!!! Please let us know how it went!!!
I didn't sleep well last night either :-(
