So, my aunt and cousins are coming in for the week after Easter. I’m excited because I haven’t seen then in a year and a half, but I’m also really nervous. I don’t know how I’m going to eat right (they like to eat out when they come down here) and exercise all week long. Such temptations. I picked a rocky point to start 30DS. I may have to put it on hold that week and just maybe take long walks instead. Either that or wake up super early and do them? Hmmm…
Oh, and the weekend after they leave, I have a date! I’m so excited. We couldn’t get together as he’s been sick all this week, and next weekend is Easter. Plus, he lives like 30 minutes away. If this becomes something serious, I can so make that drive during the week, but not while we’re just dating.
I’m not sure if I mentioned this or not, but my cousin and best friend might be getting married next summer. Just more incentive to lose this weight. I do not want to look horrible in a bridesmaid’s dress again (or maid of honor dress…whatever)!! I’m hoping by that time I’ll be at my complete goal weight. According to my Personal Trainer or Wii, that’s 140.2lbs. lol. We’ll see.
I can’t wait til my 30DS dvd comes in the mail. I hate using the OnDemand crap. Last time I did the workout, it cut me off during Circuit 3…blah.

I’ve decided to post more pictures. I dunno. I thought I looked better, but when I took these pics, I find no difference. Oh well. I’m still 1 little cousin down (lol).
So, here’s 266…
Here is 15lbs down…
And now, 31lbs down…
I’ve just started doing Jillian’s 30 Day Shred. I’m on day 3 (did it!) today. It hurts like hell, but at least I’m trying. I’m already seeing some results. My stomach is tighter and my legs have lost 2inches! Yay! I’ll put more pics up when I hit 220lbs.

So, my TOM has been screwed up since I was in high school. I’m pretty sure once I hit 240lbs, they stopped coming regularly. I didn’t think much of it because I heard a high fat diet can do that to it.
Whatever.
In the last year, it’s been even more screwed up than usual. Like, it doesn’t stop. I’ve been having this problem since June. I get my period and it stays heavy for a week, and then light spotting for the next 2 weeks, a week without anything and then back to having a heavy period. From June-August and then nothing until October-December.
So weird.
Anyways, it must be straightening itself out, because for the last 3 months, it’s become normal!! I’m hoping it stays that way. I’ll be going to the gyno soon, but I’m hoping to say its a fixed problem

So, I’ve been struggling lately with what to do after college. I think I might have mentioned it on my last posting, but I cannot remember right now. My plan was, after I graduated this December, I was going to go straight into my master’s program in curriculum and instruction. I was going to go for the next 2 years and finish up master’s and latapp (a program in LA we teachers have to go through). Anyways, I found out recently that my school nixed the c&i program. I also found out what is expected of me during latapp. Needless to say, I definitely had to make some major changes to the plan.
So, I’ve been struggling with it lately. On one hand, I have both my parents telling me I need to get my master’s at all cost–even with me not working and just going to school for the next 3 or so years. However, I feel that’s a little extreme and I already feel like a burden (even though they tell me I’m not). But, recently, I’ve been wondering if I should just take a break from school and just work.
So, I’ve come up with a plan. First, I’m moving. In January, if I have a job, I will be moving 2 hours away to Lafayette where my cousins live. The reason I picked Lafayette is because I honestly love it there and because I really, really miss my cousins who live there (both are older and married, but we basically all grew up together…Steph is 26 and Shannon is 30). Anyways, I’m going to get an apartment there and work on finishing latapp for the next 2 years. Then, I’m going to go to UL and get my master’s degree in c&i.
This seems reasonable to me. I told my mom about it first, because I knew she would be more receptive to the whole idea. She took it better than expected and is now talking about saving this and that for my new apartment. I still haven’t told my dad yet because I know he will be disappointed. I’m scared to tell him. I hate when he’s disappointed in me.
So, that’s my plan. 2009 is starting to look up for me. I’m feeling much better about myself lately and growing more confident on this lifestyle change then I ever have before. I’m slowly but surely losing this weight. I’m also graduating in December and then heading to NYC. I’m extremely excited about that. No boys so far, but that’ll come in time. I’m not sure I need one complicating my life right now, especially when I just made a new plan ;).
Eating habits are good so far this week. I had a minor snacking day yesterday, but I’m pretty sure I stuck to my calories because I did not eat breakfast (I woke up late).
Er, I’ve been failing a little on the exercise. I plan to do some maybe tonight and tomorrow. I came home this afternoon and slept for 1:30-7. I was so tired. But, I’ll try to get it done tonight.
I think I’m going to go see I Love You, Man tomorrow since I’ve been doing so well. Oh, and I might go a little off my calorie mark on Sunday. My neices are coming over this weekend and we’re heading to Cafe Du Monde for beignets. But since I’ve been eating so well this week, I’m sure it’ll be okay.

So, for the last 2 days, I’m been in this horrible mood. I know why, it’s just I can’t help it. Ugh.
The first reason is because my co-operating teacher hates me. Well, that may be too strong of a word. Okay, my last lesson I’m teaching is this Tuesday. I had planned a really good Reader’s Theater lesson. I’m going to be observed during this lesson, too, so I wanted to make sure I was 100% on the content. I talked to my teacher 2 weeks ago about this lesson and she was fine with it. Then, I came in on Thursday and she’s like “Oh, well, I really want you to teach Picasso.”
WTF?
I can’t say no, so I’m just like, it’s fine. And normally I wouldn’t be freaked out, but it took me 4 hours to just come up with an activity that I think they may be able to do (they’re in 3rd grade!!). She’s already done the self portrait with them and so trying to find something last minute is not easy. Just pissed off is all.
The other reason I’m so aggitated is the whole what to do after I graduate question. I was planning on heading straight to grad school and finishing up my master’s. But I found out that it’s going to take me a few years instead of a few months (I thought 2 years at most, but it’s looking like 4-5 years). I do not want to stay where I am right now. I can’t afford to live here on my own because prices are still too high. That means that I would have to live with my family…until I’m 28. UGH.
I have 7 months to figure out what I’m going to do. 7 months. What I really want to do is after I graduate, move to Lafayette and get an apartment there. My family is over there (at least the ones I’m close to) and I miss them alot. I just do not know what to do anymore.
Other than that, things are good. I’m under 240lbs! I weighed myself this morning was 239.4lb! The last time I saw that number, I was a senior in high school. So, 5 years ago? 3 more lbs to hit 30lbs lost. Hoping to hit that this week coming. Its TOM right now, but it’s almost over (thank the lord), so I should lose some water weight…yay.
I’m going to try and work out this week too. I need to keep that up so I don’t fall off the wagon…alright. Time to go write this stupid Picasso lesson plan. Wish me luck!

I’ve been so busy in the last few weeks with school and teaching. I’m having a nice, relaxing day today though. I have my PRAXIS PLT tomorrow morning. I woke up this morning and studied and then exercised my lower body for 30 minutes. Phew. That was really hard…lol.
I now weigh 240.7lbs as of this morning. However, I want to be under 240 by Monday. That’s my goal. I need to lose 0.8lbs in 3 days. I can so do it.
I’m doing much better eating as well. In the last 2 weeks, I’ve only went off plan once. Excited.
Okay, gotta go study. Pray for me to pass tomorrow!!!

So I FINALLY started using My Fitness Coach last night. It’s so cool! I love it. Me and my mom are both using it and it’s so nice that we can do the workouts together.
Okay, I really need to go finish that lesson plan that’s due for me to teach tomorrow!!!! Eek!

So, just for curiousity’s sake, I weighed in this morning. I lost 2.2lbs over the weekend! YAY! I was super excited to see that number! That puts me about 246.something or another. So, I am 20lbs down!!! I am so proud of myself for sticking it out.
I didn’t make my Valentine’s Day goal, but that’s alright. I think I pledged 10lbs in the St. Patty’s day one. But really, I want to make it to 15lbs. But I know 10lbs is healthier and more attainable. So, if I hit 15lbs down, then great! lol.
Wow. That would put me at 231lbs! Jeez.
So, with 20lbs down, I only need to lost 96lbs to reach me goal. Under 100lbs!!! HAHA. I’m gearing up for NYC…

So I only really lost 0.6lbs this week (from weigh in on Wednesday). But that’s ok. It’s my TOM and I’ve been craving almost everything. I’ve given in a bunch and haven’t drank that much water. I stuck like glue to my plan today and drank 100oz of water.
I’m hoping to lose 1.4lbs by Saturday. That’ll meet my Valentine’s Day goal. My TOM is almost over, so I should be losing alot of water weight :).
Mardi Gras is in 2 weeks and we’re getting my nephew over. Both of us are going to clean out the garage so that we can get that exercise machine. I fully expect 100% results once I start working out.
I also tried that Tabata method thing. Where you exercise for 4 minutes: 20 seconds as fast as you can go, and 10 seconds rest. OMG, it was hard! I did squats and I am still hurting. I was wheezing for like 2 hours afterwards. I guess it worked. lol. I definitely won’t be doing it tomorrow. My legs are killing me.
Ouch.
Now back to American Idol

I’m going to visit my cousin is Arkansas in April (for Easter). She hasn’t seen me since she went back in mid January and I was about 262lbs. I want to be about 225lbs. That’s a goal of 23lbs by that time…averaging a little over 2.7lbs a week. I’m losing between 3-4lbs a week right now, so hopefully that trend continues.
I’m really excited about going to see her because she is my best friend and I love her so much. I miss her alot when she’s not around :(. Because we’re similar in age, our family has always compared us and basically began a huge competition. She’s recently gained alot of weight in college and was only about 15lbs less than I was. We made a pact before she left that we would both lose weight over the semester. So far so good for the both of us!
If I hit that goal, I would like to start another one aiming for June. By the end of June, I would love to be about 205lbs. That’s super aggressive and wayy in the future. We’ll see I guess. I would love to start student teaching at about 190lbs. And then by Christmas be about 150lbs!!
Just in time for New York!!!! YAY!
