My mood is resembling the weather - overcast!  There’s a culmination of factors involved; being up on the weigh in this morning, stucking studying again (2 more days to go…), feeling sore and in the end not being able to do more than half hour of partner stretches which won’t count towards an exercise star.

Bummer.  I’m hoping I’ll feel better tomorrow, I just have to keep loading in the ibuprofen and fluids.

I really want to start doing Weight Watchers again.  I did them for a while a year or so ago and didn’t really stick with it long enough to see positive changes, but so many people are having good experiences with it, it makes me want to give it a go again.  I find it easier than calorie counting.  I shall have to wait till we’re in better financial climates though - it’s not cheap on a student budget!

I think it’s finally hit me.  I was 154.6lbs this morning.  Also, I didn’t drink as much water yesterday.  Do your muscles weigh more when they hurt?  I am SORE today = major muscle inflammation.  Off work today because I was sick during the night I was getting so nervous about this exam, which is ridiculous.  I need to chill out and just keep studying.

I wanted to exercise and catch up on stars!!  But right now even walking is a challenge
