I’m dragging….

I have no idea what’s wrong with me- I’ve been EXHAUSTED for the past 2 days! I think it was because I stayed up late on Tuesday night to do my workout, got up early for WW on Wednesday, and was busy busy busy yesterday and today. I just had a 4 hour nap, which isn’t great when I have exams looming. I’m feeling extremely guilty because I didn’t work out yesterday. The idea of the nap was so that I could find the energy to work out today, although I’m not quite feeling it yet…I’ll definitely do at least the 20 minute turbo jam tonight. I know that it’s a downfall of mine to skip workouts- one day becomes two days, which becomes a week, which becomes a month. This is how I stopped running in the first place. WW has kept me really motivated, so over the past 3 months I have rarely skipped a day…but I just know that it’s a slippery slope to go down for me.

The good news is that today was my last day of my 2nd year of law school! Only 2 exams and one more year to go… :D I can’t WAIT to be finished with school. I’m completely miserable here, and being done will mean that we get to move home (luckily BF hates it here too, and we’re from the same place…although we didn’t meet until coming here, so I guess that was the one good thing that came out of this.)

I’ve done alright with my eating so far today…I had 2 applesauce cups (equivalent to a normal-sized apple- 2 pts) and a fibre 1 bar for breakfast, and then some of my homemade lentil soup with tuna and melba toast for lunch. I have 13 points left for dinner, so I’m thinking I might be lazy and order pizza. Have I raved about Panago pizza before? I’m not sure if this is just a Canadian thing…but they make a thin crust veggie mediterranean pizza that has tomato sauce, roasted roma tomatoes, spinach, red onion, HUGE kalamata olives, red pepper, feta and mozzarella…sound amazing? The best part- 3 POINTS PER SLICE (of a medium pizza). Is this the best news you’ve heard all day? I love pizza, and I actually prefer thin crust, so I’m in love with this whole concept. I discovered this little gem in the WW Eating Out Guide, and have never looked back. We’ve ordered it pretty regularly since I started WW, and it’s made NO difference in my losses. Bring on the pizza!

On a completely off-topic rant, it really bothers me how the spell-check on this site always underlines “fibre” and “colour”. I know that the American spelling is “fiber” and “color”, but can’t they make it recognize the Canadian way, too?! It makes me feel like I need to explain myself because I’m really into spelling and grammar, and I don’t want anyone to think that I’m consistantly making spelling errors..lol…there are other words too, like “travelling” (canadian) and “traveling” (american)..I remember when I was a kid and people first started typing up assignments on computers… Teachers would get really angry at the kids who used spell check, because it always reverts to the American version! I always wonder if American kids learned about this in school…

BF and I are seriously thinking of going to Vegas. I really want to go shopping. Not that I’m rolling in cash or anything, but retail therapy really does me good. I’m expecting a huge tax return coming my way any day now. The way I see it, I don’t go out to bars, I don’t do drugs, I rarely drink (especially since starting WW), so I can spoil myself with a shopping trip every now and then, right?!

I’d like to take a minute to talk about a dream of mine: owning a Balenciaga bag. It’s all I can think about recently. They’re INSANELY expensive, even by my standards. I love the huge rivets on them, and the leather is so soft and beautiful. My favourite was the Neiman Marcus 100th Anniversary special edition (blue with dark rivets), and the gorgeous magenta colour from last year’s collection. I’m also a fan of the basic black with silver or ghetto gold rivets (I couldn’t find a picture of the gold, but here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!)
