05 January 2011

Hello FS buddies!! Thanks for all the holiday msgs, they were very sweet = )

Fall semester has been finished for awhile now & I ended w/ my first 4.0 semester ever. Straight A's across all 5 classes. That being said, that's where I was. Doing LOTS of work for school. I didn't lose my way or anything. Kept up the walking around campus, tracked my food solely on the BMF site & for the most part ate at maintenance level through Nov & most of Dec. So weight-wise I'm still in the same place so no need to update it till there is a change.

One thing that I've been big on is that there is no self-berating going on here. I make cognizant choices. End of story. The Body Media Fit has been a huge asset in this change, esp in being able to know what maintenance level eating is for me (at this weight). B/c I was so busy, I said to myself, as long as I don't gain weight I'll be fine. I will not do any mindless eating, & I didn't, not even on the holidays when I didn't track.

Been gone longer than expected b/c I got some devastating new on Thanksgiving. I found out that my father is dead, then a few days later that he had died the day after my 26th birthday. The day after Thanksgiving by pure luck & coincidence, a cousin I didn't even know existed found me on Facebook. This lead to the materialization of a whole side of a family I barely had an inkling about. So to say that I've been in process mode is an understatement. Dealing w/ my father's death hasn't even begun b/c I just can't cross that line yet. I had just barely accepted finding out during the summer that one of my uncles (one of his younger brothers) died in '05. So many things happening all at once. So at this point it's just taking everyday as it comes w/ whatever it presents me.

Currently I'm sick, not sure what it is. Excruciating pain in my skull down my spine w/ fever & chills. It's been such a party since NYE, lol. Hopefully it'll go away soon. Going to the doctor is not in the cards, so no recommendations on such is needed ; ).

I need to get back to working out in a bad way. My knee has suffered greatly from all the sitting this past semester, so much that jogging seems like an impossible dream; again. But one step at a time. I've gone back & forth about tracking my food on this site b/c it's redundant if I'm tracking it on BMF's website. The only real advantage is that when I pre-plan out my days, on here I can see my macro-levels instantly & on BMF you can only see them on the day of, so it's a strong possibility that I will again. Need to get my protein level back up to at least 100g/day.

So that's everything in a nut shell. From some of the journals I've been reading over the past few days I'm glad to see some are doing so very well on their journeys. Hope everyone had a great holiday season & have a great outlook for the new year. = D

So last night I made a point of planning out my meals for today thru Thursday. Lol, it changed the moment I had to get out of bed this morning. The protein smoothie I had planned was going to be too labor intensive so I opted for a Trio Nut bar (LOVE 'EM!). Then when I got picked up @ 6:15pm after my last class my mom asked me if I wanted to go to the Mad As Hell Doctors forum that was happening at the university tonight. I decided to go & it was to start @ 7:30pm. So my mom figured she'd just take us to eat downtown before it started. I picked a place since I'm more acquainted w/ downtown than my mom is & she wanted something fast & easy. So I picked Pita Pit & knew instantly what I was going to get as well as the fact that the nutrition facts are online. So that was really nice, never-the-less odd. My mom & I haven't spent that much time w/ each other, let alone eat & attend an event together in a few years now. It was uncomfortably awkward w/ me trying to fill the silence w/ useless info about my life that my mom probably has already forgotten. Anyway, the forum was great. I needed to be educated on a social issue that's been cultivating while I was lurking/dwelling/festering in my own personal hell. And I got dinner AND lunch out of it (the salad is huge & is always 2 meals for me).

So to get back to what I was originally saying, I HAD my meals planned, but as of right now, there's so much readjusting that's about to happen that I feel foolish now for having planned it all out. Usually it works, but this time it's not. That's ok though. No big. I just think it's funny that for the first time in weeks I really went out of my way to plan out my 3 days of school & it didn't work out. HA! My exact dilemma in life & why I've changed my life philosophy = p

Got LOTS of walking in today, purposefully. On one of my breaks I made myself walk up & around each of the 4 floors of the library to counter all the sitting. I really feel that's all I do & on the weekends it's even worse. Really need to push myself to walk on the weekends the same way I break from studying & walk while I'm on campus.

Today's Stats @ 10pm:
Cals burned: 3,679
Cals consumed: 1,562
Deficit: 2,117
Physical Activity: 1hr 42mins (out of 1hr 30mins)
Moderate Activity: 38mins (out of 60mins)
Vigorous Activity: 64mins (out of 30mins)
Steps taken: 12,462 (out of 10,000)
Sleep duration(last night): Sleep: 4hrs 13mins Lying Down: 4hrs 36mins
Sleep Efficiency: 92% = p

Also, aside from Sunday when I got sick from drinking a mango daiquiri (I canNOT do sugar like that EVER again), I've been consistently getting at least 100oz of water. I've been feeling much better about that & my lips are the proof of how badly I needed it. BUT, I need to start adding sea salt to my food again b/c I've been having slight cramping when I lay down again (such is life). I'm just glad to be up on my agua again & it has definitely made a difference w/ the exhaustion. (FYI- I got LOTS of sleep last weekend including nearly 13hrs of sleep last Fri!)

Watched The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo today. I have heard many good things about the book & I had a free video rental for Blockbuster Express so I went for it. It was AMAZING! Superb!! I SO want to read the book when I have time. And the trailer I watched online for it stated that the movie is part of a trilogy, so I'm assuming there are more books as well. It was just awesome! If you don't like subtitles, I don't recommend it, but otherwise fantastic.

Last but not least. Scored another A (97%) on my test for Wealthy & Inequality class. Out of 48 students that took the test, only 11 of us got As. I was shocked but I thought at most I was only going to get a B. Turns out that b/c I actually go & have gone to every class, I DO actually know what the heck is going on even when I don't thinks so = D

Ok, this was a long journal due to not journaling but studying over the past few days. Hope you all are well. Time for me to hit the hay! = D
