stress eating all the things
no bueno.
so i’ve been trying to study for my 3 exams this week: I have Genetics tomorrow. Environmental Policy and Human Behavioral Ecology are both Thursday.
stressing out as it is … and then I get a phone call.
“oh hey just so you know, your mom is back in the hospital and she has been there since thursday.”
thanks for keeping me informed guys. And now i...

Workout 13 of 20: Co-rec Flag Football
It was a playoff game, but unfortunately we lost. The other team had rugby girls and all of their guys were 6 feet tall. It was kind of a masacre.
… but we had fun … and that’s all that matters.
This week is going to be hell. 3 exams and a quiz. Leading a hike Saturday, and then my triathlon on sunday. Next week I have two quizes...

Workout 11 of 20: Hockey Practice … just a fun one. Not even full equipment this time. Practiced a lot of shots. Fun relay drills.
In other news: I have so much studying to do before next week …
Also there’s currently a norwalk virus (Viral gastroenteritis) going around at my college … 1500 students have already gotten it. Basically you get really really really...

First Spin!
Today I went to my first ever spinning class. Did I mention the part where I went all by myself without a friend for moral support? Yeah, i’m really proud of myself.
I told myself that if I got out of class early, I would go to spin. As predicted, class ended as soon as I completed my quiz, so I rushed back to my room and changed into my workout...
Workout 8 and 9 of 20
There are only 9 days left in the month of february … it’s not looking like i’m going to reach my goal of 20 workouts.
Exercise: Today I went to the gym and biked 5.5 miles in around 22 minutes, 5 minutes on the skate machine, and a nice good stretch. Then I played flag football with my team. The game ended up being tied with no score … but i think we still made it to...

2 weeks until my miniature triathlon … YIKES
Here’s what needs to go down: This coming week will be the most productive of my life.
The goal is to work out everyday this week, because the following week, the week of my triathlon, i have 3 exams and training won’t be my first priority. Tomorrow I’m going to power yoga and then perhaps a swim afterward.
So this week is...

Why do I continue to eat like crap? Because if you put it in front of me, I will eat it. No self control. Oh dining halls, why must you taunt me.
Food is the problem. I’ve known this for a while now … Yet I can’t seem to get it right at college. :/
I didn’t post yesterday but I had amazing day!! I was that super happy friend that was obsessed with valentines day. I was giddy and excited and extra smiley. I got a free tshirt, a rose, some chocolate, and had an amazing dinner with over 12 friends at a themed dining hall dinner. I planned the get together and people came which made me feel good. All these good vibes must have made...
Tomorrow
Someone asked me what my plans were for tomorrow… and my honest response was “What’s tomorrow?” hahah I forgot.
My plans? Wake up, take some extra time getting ready in the morning, feel pretty, go into lab, go to class, maybe stop by the Anti-Valentines Day Celebration at the center of campus and then eat a Valentine’s Day Themed Dinner with my friends.
Thank you
To everyone that responded to my depressing posts last night. It’s a really great feeling to know that people out there, even people that i’ve never met, can relate to me and care about my well being. :)
I’m feeling better today. Last night was just a bad night all around (for all my friends). I even looked up if there was a full moon because of how emotional everyone was....

strengthblr replied to your post: Problem detected
You only eat 1200 calories a day? You should eat around 1650 calories at the very least for weightloss and muscle gain. ;)
no no no … I guess my last post wasn’t completely clear. I follow myfitness pals recommendations which sets my daily goal at 1600 calories. I ate too much at breakfast, a little over 600 calories … then...
Problem detected
I think I figured out why I keep going over in calories.. My breakfast is (almost always) way way too big.
Today it clocked in at around 600 calories. How? Two eggs over-hard, one slice of American, two slices of multigrain toast, smart balance spread, half a grapefruit … And with my midday snack of a coffee and orange… I’m only left with 600 calories for lunch and dinner...

Just some things...
I can’t wait until I live in an apartment next year. I can’t tell you how many people have told me “you’ll miss having a meal plan” and “it sucks to have to cook all the time.” Honestly though, I beg to differ. I eat so SIMPLY when i’m at home. I have my staples … and I stick to them. If i’m buying my own food, i’ll eat less....

Still not feeling too hot… Well actually I physically feel warm. My face is really hot. My throat still feels swollen. I’m never taking being healthy for granted again!! I want to do ALL the exercise!
I really hope I’m better by Saturday as I’m leading a hike! We’ll see…send healthy vibes my way!
I didn’t go to the fitness class by myself (sorry guys, i let myself down too). I ended up studying and then celebrating my friend’s birthday. I will be waking up early for the gym tomorrow though!
Running and Biking is the plan!
merrr
pet peeve: cancelled plans
So I won’t be going to a fitness class tonight because my friend backed out and I can’t find someone to go with me.
I suppose i’ll just go to the gym and bike/run instead. merrrr

Bad News: Today I found out thatI have lupas anticoagulant syndrome; which basically means that I have an abnormally high risk of blood clotting because my antibodies see plasma proteins as the bad guys. This is especially bad news because I’m on birth control for PCOS. As everyone knows birth control increases the risk of blood clots. So what does that mean for me? an even scarier risk...
A Little Reflection
Who: This one is easy. I can honestly say that I like myself as a person. I think that i’m pretty stinkin’ awesome. I’m fun. I’m sassy. I’m intelligent. I do cool things and I have cool friends. I’m genuinely caring and an incredibly loyal friend. I don’t need another person to feel whole. REPEAT. Life knows what it’s doing, there is...

New Suit
I can’t believe i’m posting this photo …
TYR Fitness Suit
Ordering online is tricky enough when talking about clothes, but for bathing suits … I got so lucky! :D
I needed a new bathing suit because the one I had was not made for swimming laps in the pool. (and to be honest wasn’t very flattering or supportive) Then my friend gave me one of her old suits to try...

Happy February!
Last week: 175.5 … this week 175.3
That is what we call … not trying … my set point.
Need to cut the crap and start training. Confuse my body. Make it remember how much it craves exercise.
