Can't remember the last time I got at least 6 hrs of sleep consecutively in bed. As in, I didn't wake up to do something or go somewhere really quickly & go back to sleep an hour or 2 later or take a nap later in the day. That being said, I'm exhausted. But I told myself regardless of how much work I have to get done that I MUST go to bed @ midnight. Oh & I forgot that my Abnormal Psych test was curved, so I went from a 90% to a 94% = D Works for me!!

Today's stats (it's only 7pm): **UPDATE** @ 10:40PM & off to bed!!!
11,192 steps / 11,701
3,046 cals burned / 3,419
1,389 deficit / 1613
37 mins (out of my ascribed 60 mins) moderate activity
49 mins (out of my ascribed 30 mins) vigorous activity

Not too damn shabby for feeling like most of my day has been spent sitting. I did make it a point to walk for 45 mins during one of my breaks, which included a couple sets of stairs in 2 buildings. I have stairs throughout my day anyway, so that's just a bonus. I do have to say though, that I can already feel the effects on my body from the prolonged hours of sitting. My knees felt so weak & unstable going up the stairs today during the morning hours. I didn't have pain in my bad knee but I could feel the grinding happening again. All from 2 wks of little walking & major sitting. NO BUENO!!! So I have got to make myself move more, even if it means taking 30 min breaks, packing up my back pack & walking around then going back to studying. The last thing I need is for my knee to get really bad again.

On a really positive note, today has been a GOOD water day!! I'm over 80oz in at this point! Quite sure I'll get in at least 120, which is always what I want. The caffeine & fatigue have made it difficult to do so, but I REALLY pushed myself today. So I'm proud of myself & my body definitely appreciates it = )

Oye!! I'm so ready for bed right now but I need to get stuff done before I can even think of closing my eyes. Maybe I'll just make it 11 so I can attempt to go for 8 hrs in bed & a high % of sleep efficiency!! We shall see where the cards fall.

Hope everyone is doing well! = D

Thanks for all the belated birthday wishes! It was probably the most uneventful birthday I've ever had, but that's ok. I took myself to see "Let Me In" which was a sad, beautiful & awesome movie!! Chloe Moretz is an amazing little actress! Now I'm intrigued & want to see the original Swedish version "Let the Right One In".

All in all it was a good day, even if it was spent alone. I think for once in my life I'm not at war w/ my age anymore. Yes, I'm 29. Do I look it? Nope! SAWEETNESS!. Do I "act" it? Nope! Have I or do I follow societal norms? Nope! So age shouldn't be any different. My life journey doesn't have age appropriate norms by which I need to set deadlines to live by. So by realizing that it's useless, ridiculous & dumb to fuss over my age at this point considering all aspects, I stopped. So I'm now 29 yrs old & I actually can't wait to be 30!! Lol, leave the 20's behind, go big for 30 & start the next phase of my life = D

As for the whole working out thing, I don't know when it's going to happen. Not having a car is really effing everything up & 70-90 min walks to or from campus eat up a chunk of my day. Oh well, whatever is going to happen is going to happen. Can't worry about something that's not right in front of me. My massive pile of reading/homework IS in front of me so I need to get on that. But I will say this, that step workout I had on the low benches (about 2ft high) outside of the psych building was a huge kick-in the ass! I finally wasn't sore by yesterday morning (did the workout on Thurs). I think if anything that's something worth doing so more while on breaks or waiting for class. People may have thought I was crazy, but who says I'm not = p

Hope everyone had a great weekend! It's OCTOBER!!! Yay!! Only 228 days left till graduation!! = D

Weigh-in/Measurement Day!

First off I got shit for sleep, so I'm not in the best mood. 2nd, I'm sore from doing a step workout on a bench on Thurs while waiting 35 mins for my ride & I walked 3.5mi yesterday. So, for my weigh-in I went ahead & did it today, but I'll be checking it again tomorrow morning. I knew it was going to be up since yesterday (by 0.4) & it's really annoying b/c earlier this week I saw the lowest # I've seen in a year, 2 days in a row. I know I'll see it again, but I'm just grumpy tired & annoyed that I'm not able to record that number as of yet. So here it is folks:

Weight: Sept 1: 246 (+.2)
Biceps: L:16 R:15.5 (-.25) (-.25)
Bust: 44.5 (-.5)
Underbust: 38.75 (-.25)
Waist: 46 (0)
Hips: 54.75 (-.25)
Thighs: L:31 R:31 (-1.25) (-1.25)
Calves: L:18.25 R:18 (-.25) (0)
Neck: 13.5 (0)
BF%: 50% (0)
BMI: 40.4 (0)

Weight: Oct 2: 243.2 (-2.8)
Biceps: L:16 R:15.5 (0) (0)
Bust: 43.25 (-1.25)
Underbust: 37.5 (-1.25)
Waist: 44.25 (-1.75)
Hips: 53 (-1.75)
Thighs: L:30.5 R:30.25 (-.5) (-.75)
Calves: L:18.75 R:18.25 (+.5) (+.25)
Neck: 13 (-.5)
BF%: 50% (0)
BMI: 40 (0)

So, weight I lost 2.8lbs (was @ 5.7lbs a few days ago). Overall, 7 inches lost! If my damn calves hadn't gone up (I'm sure a bit puffy from all the walking), then it would've been around 8 but I'm taking it. Walking has pretty much been the only working out I've been doing w/ the craziness of school, homework, no car & taking care of my nephews.

Alright, now I'm debating going to the gym or just diving into my homework. I'd really like to be able to relax & not do anything homework related on my b-day tomorrow but I just don't see it in my future. 29 will be an uneventful celebration, but I'll be celebrating in my head that I at least have made it this far in life & it's my Spike day, so I don't have to really worry about what I eat.

Have a great Sat everyone = )
