So I had been sick pretty much for the past week and a half.. and ughh it was horrible. I honestly would have rather been puking and sneezing, coughing etc. than feeling dizzy, lightheaded, like I was going to puke but couldn't, the no appetite part was nice, but otherwise UGHH, I can't tell you the last time I have felt that horrible.
I had been on zoloft for almost 4 years, but I had upped my dose about a year ago and that is when I started to gain all of my weight - about 40 lbs in all. I think the higher dose did a number on my metabolism and I also started sleeping like crazy, so I had done some research and thought okay, why not try something else. I had looked at the Wellbutrin, and my doctor switched me and oh my gosh, worst idea of my life. I loved not having an appetite, but I honestly would rather watch what I eat and work my ass off in the gym then I would feel the way I felt this week. SOOOO not worth it. So, I took some of my old medicine and slept a lot so I think I am finally starting to feel better. Mashed potatoes and noodles tore up my stomach earlier, but oh well.
I am still waiting for BSU to put up their fitness schedule for the spring. I need to buy some passes so I can take classes. I may just buy the 10 pass for now and then get the unlimited later on, not sure. I need to decide because $95 is a lot, but at the same time it is actually a good deal if you go multiple times a week which is what I am planning on doing! I had talked to Trevor about a work out plan and such, and if I remember correctly he said cardio either 5 or 7 days a week for an hour or hour and a half.. I forget the details, I need to ask him again, lol. I am excited to work out actually, especially once I feel almost 100% again, especially with Jillian taking some classes with me as well! :) First week is free week again, so I have some more time to play around with classes. I am not for sure on how many times I can do each fitness class due to my class schedule/work/LAE BUT My plan is to walk 2 miles on the track 7 days a week, do yoga once/twice a week, do all about arms twice a week, do h.a.b.i.t twice a week, and perhaps another class, or may just go work out on the elliptical or something on my own. PLUS, I really need to watch what I eat. I understand that I will completely quit what I am doing if I go cold turkey on stuff, but if I just pay attention to what I am putting into my body and try to reduce it down some then that is going to have to help.
Especially after I am working out in the rec center, I love that i can walk over and go to Quiznos and grab a sammie and some soup and a gatorade/water. I know it isn't super healthy, but it is healthier than a lot of the other junk that is on campus. But, I am also super stoked..I got some awesome new kicks :) They are Nike, which I was kind of concerned about at first, but then decided to give them another try and they are like a dark fuschia with neon lime! I reallly like them, I wanted some color for a change compared to my asics. I hope they are as comfy as my asics, which they cost the same so i would like to hope so! Plus I got a Nike work out shirt on sale and two pairs of stretchy workout capris from TJ Max. I really can't find myself to pay $80 for a pair of workout pants. I guess I don't have a problem with paying that for jeans and such just because I feel like with workout pants I am not going to be easy on them, I am going to be sweating etc. Maybe I will treat myself to a cute outfit once I lose weight. I really need to upload a before picture of me just for myself at future reference. Yeah I have pictures of myself but I want one in like shorts and a tank from a front, back, and side angle so I can compare them later on!
I have the Debbie Slim in 6 Video, I may consider bringing back to school.. but there isn't room in the dorm and unless I go down to the MPR, which I think the disc has to be approved, which is dumb so it would probably be more of a pain than anything to get it setup but we shall see. I made Lindsey a copy of it so we would both have one.
Well, my computer feels like it's going to melt and fly away lol soo I best be stopping writing. Got about 14% battery life left and it's 3:30 am.. Wishing it was a little bit later b/c some orange juice sounds sooo good! Yay for celebrating Emmy/Lindsey/Jasons birthday tonight at the new Los Bravos, especially now that I am feeling better! Boo for having to get my crap together soon and pack and all that fun stuff..and spend money on books, ewww. About $400 this semester, so ridiculous! But I am excited to give Lindsey and Em their presents and get my haircut on Sunday and get my new tire put on my car after it's amazing bodywork it got done :) Anddd since Trevor wanted to know what his christmas was waiting at home, I told him in exchange for telling me.. so I am getting a Necklace from Zales. OOOOO! I feel super duper special.. I have never gotten jewelry before especially not from someone i lovvved, lol. So yes, I am stoked. I can't wait to get that. Otherwise 55 days until I am with the love of my life!!!! Already been through 45 days, so go me :) Ah, I love trevor sooooo much, can't tell you last time I have been this happy.. probably bcause I haven't been!!!! lol Eesh, I am acting immature, whoops!
Okay, better go.. peaaaace, loooove, and weight loss <3
I am a twenty-two year old student starting my fifth year of college. I absolutely cannot wait to graduate and start my new life in chicago.

GOALS
Although he does not know it, my motivation is going to be my amazing boyfriend. He may tell me that "I am perfect the way i am" but i honestly wish he would be like your fat lol
Who am I doing this for? Myself. This is the first step to making myself a happier me.
I find weight to be just a number so the hell with this.
I am just shy of 5'8" and am now weighing in at a whopping 189 pounds.
I have gained 49 pounds since January 2010 and that disgusts me.
I want to be able to wear my clothes without having to try on multiple tops to worry about how I look in the mirror. i feel like i have all these nice and pricey clothes in my closet but i don't wear half of them because i don't like the way i look in them.
So with that being said.. I want to put into words what some of my goals are for myself.
Start Weight 189 lbs
Current Weight: 185 lbs
Final Goal Weight: 140 lbs
1st Goal: Lose 10 lbs = 175 lbs
2nd Goal: Lose 15 lbs = 170 lbs
3rd Goal: Lose 20 lbs = 165 lbs BY SPRING BREAK
4th Goal: Lose 25 lbs = 160 lbs
5th Goal: Lose 30 lbs = 155 lbs
6th Goal: Lose 35 lbs = 150 lbs
7th Goal: Lose 40 lbs = 145 lbs
8th Goal: Lose 45 lbs = 140 lbs
Final Goal: MAINTAIN between 140-150 lbs
I will post some pictures for my start weight, etc and post them and then update pictures as I go!
