I am bloated and swollen today. And I woke up really queasy. Breakfast didn't help and neither has the gallon (exaggeration) of water I've drank already today. I'm annoyed and would like to know what the deal is. I didn't eat anything unusual yesterday and felt fine when I went to bed.
Ugh.
And TOM still hasn't arrived. This isn't a possible pregnancy issue... It's more a side effect of my new(ish) BC.
I'm grouchy. ): That's all I wanted to say I think...
I'm worried I won't be able to eat much today because my schedule really isn't going to allow it. Had coffee this morning and a light English muffin with grape jam. Lunch will be a crunchy granola bar and a light yogurt. Then snack will be .5oz of almonds. Dinner is going to have to be something prepackaged like a Healthy Choice frozen something... Today isn't shaping up to be anything impressive.
I hope everyone else is having more successful days then me.
Here's to hard work and determination,

Day 30 - Officially One Month In.
I think this post might be a bit complain-y. And also short. And probably riddled with typos.
So lots of excitment for my 1 month success. I feel like it's something noteable, because I can honestly say that I have been about 85-90% on plan for 30 entire days. Which is no small feat for me.
I didn't sleep very well last night. It probably didn't help that it was f*#$ing 45 degrees last night and for some reason, and since it's FEBRUARY and I refuse to turn on my A/C my apt stayed right at 78 ALL NIGHT. Which is just entirely too warm for me to sleep in. I prefer it to be much cooler in my room. So I can cuddle up beside bf and be toasty under the covers... Not too hot under ONE sheet.
So I had one of those fall-asleep-and-wake-up-every-15-minute nights. Basically the worst.
And I am dragging today. Just dragging. Even my morning coffee didn't perk me up. Blaaah
So, in one month I've managed to lose around 15 pounds. Honestly...technically... 14.6 pounds. Which makes me very, very happy. I'm wearing my not-so-fat jeans today. They are a pair I've been wearing for like 5 years now, because I absolutely love them. But they got a little too tight for a few months and I kind of stopped wearing them and switched to fat-jeans. It makes me happy that they fit again. They aren't as loose as they have been in the past, but noooo muffin top either! (:
I have also seen a fair amount of change in my face. It's less puffy than it had been. Looking at Thanksgiving/Christmas pictures, I can see just a little less roundness happening. I'd really like to start loosing in my fingers too. They aren't super fat, I guess... but I used to wear a size 6.5-7 and now I'm more like a 7.5 and all my pretty rings are too snug and I'm too proud to get the resized. Because, WHAT'S the point of that? I'm going to get all healthy and need them smaller again anyway, duh.
I am also very pround of myself... Today is the day I'm on campus for right at 12 hours. I get here at like 8:30a and I don't get out of my last class till 9p. So if I don't wanna eat at the BK on campus or try to just completely guess about the healthiest choices in the cafeteria... I have to bring my lunch AND dinner. Which is exactly what I did!
One salad with shredded turkey, a string cheese cut up, tons of veggies, pico de gallo, and some yummy salsa ranch yogurt dressing.
A big bowl of sliced strawberries and about a 1/2 of grapes.
Then a stupid, but almost kinda healthy, vaccum sealed meal for dinner. It's not the best, but considering what I have to work with... I can't be picky. Then an apple and a caramel rice cake. I know... you're probably thinking... Seriously? A rice cake? ...YES! They are delicious if you buy the right ones! haha
I usually love writing on this during the day... but today I just feel like I should be more productive. I have an exam in Research Methods and Statistics in like... 4 hours. And I know if I don't spend some time on it, it's going to kick my ass. Then I need to start thinking about a term paper for Industrial Psych. Oh... and one for Clinical Psych. Oh oh, and another for Psychometrics. ): I love psychology... but why does every single class have to end with a 10-12 page paper? Can't me loving it be enough? haha
Everyone go out and make your days awesome! I'm definitely not one to say that today... because I'm kinda walking around half dead and looking like I hate the world. But... do better than me today. haha

PS: I really need to start exercising more. I've got the eating healthy foods and moderation on lock, I think. But why can't I master this get my ass moving stuff too? Ugh ):

Day 28 - Good News and Bad News
So... Which one should I discuss first? Since they are (I think) very closely related, I'll start with the bad news so I can end with the good news. Or good-ish news, depending on how you wanna view it.
But this can't be a long post because I have a stupid debriefing statement to write. I've designed and am going to start conducting my very own undergrad research project. It's pretty exciting but they make you jump through a bunch of hoops and are very picky when it comes to the acceptance process. Just making sure I'm being all ethical and stuff... woo
So today is Tuesday, which means it is my weeeeiighh daaaay. I think I do that every time. Draw out weeeeeiiggghh daaaay. I hope you guys read it in an epic, booming voice. Make it a little dramatic. haha
But first, the bad news. The past... I'd say 15 hours or so, I've been super sick. Not really sick, I guess. I just think I've picked up a stomach bug. And without going into great, icky detail... Whatever goes in, comes out fairly quickly. And I'm not throwing up. I think that sums it up. I'm not sure if it's something I ate or just something I've picked up... But I hope it stops soon. It seems like I'm always having some kind of digestion issues.
Good news! Now that's I've shared such... intimate... information with you all. There is a "silver lining" if you wanna call it that?? I definitely lost weight this week... 5 pounds to be exact.
Last Weight: 210.4
Today's Weight: 205.4
I loss worth celebrating... if I believed it was accurate. I'm willing to bet I gain a little back. Which I am MORE than okay with if it means everything going back to normal. I hate feeling all sickly. Also, I think a 5lb loss in a week is a bit extreme. I'm attributing it to the very empty stomach this morning...
So, unfortunately I have nothing else to add because I have pressing matters to attend to this morning... But I wanted to let you all know about my weigh in! Accountability, and all.
Also... I recently discovered something called PB2. If you haven't heard of it, I recommend checking it out on Amazon. It's powdered peanut butter. You mix it with water if you want peanut butter... but I've been using it in smoothies. It's very tasty, all natural, and has like 85% less calories and a lot less fat than normal peanut butter. It's like 45 calories for 2TBSP and like 1.5g fat. I had a banana PB2 smoothie this morning that was just awesome. Only draw back is I keep burping banana. NOT the best. :-p
Okay! I'm done for now! Everyone go out and have incredible and successful days!
