Hi guys - you sleeping in late today just kidding!!
I did great yesterday and was rewarded today with a 1 pound water weight loss! I'll take it! So I'm at 137.5 (goal is 120-125).
Making it through yesterday really was an a miracle. I've officially hit the wall with the amount of "growing pains" i.e. inappropriate behavior allowed out of a college's directors, teachers, and staff. Last night was the final straw. I've made the calls today and am filing a formal complaint on several levels. I feel better about having made the call. I will talk to the Dean this afternoon. Remember Mr. Creepy hands. Well last night a Day class student told us that me and the student that was grabbed were "made examples of" to their entire class. She gave them all kinds of bad info on what happened and how we handled it and basically made us look like fools to her whole class. Now most of this class can't stand the woman anyway but STILL. That was inappropriate on so many levels. The way the school has handled this situation from the very beginning is just pathetic! I'm tired of dealing with it.
Well, eating has been good today. I feel much better now. Headaches stillt here but more energy and slept soo very well last night. It's beautiful here today! Even studied outside today.
We're gonna look so good for spring!!!!! Exciting! Just thing how great it's going to be if we keep up this good work! WE CAN DO IT GUYS!!!!
Howdie doo everyone! I see we're missing some people still! I don't see Blaue Liebe, Miss Elisha, nor Leanne......Hope you ladies pop in real soon!
Tulip! I hope all your interviewing and such went well and was successful today! Keep us informed. It sounds like it would be a job that you would enjoy very much. What exactly will you be doing? Are you a chef? There's so much I really don't know about all of us here at SA! Maybe we should start one of those fun surveys! I'll do that after this post!
YAYYYY for Grassie! As Raventoy said in my journal, One day Leads to Two Days, Leads to Three Days! One day at a Time, Grassie! Now a super BIG YYAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO!!!! for you for standing up for your rights. That teacher had NO rights either personally, ethically, nor legally to use you and the other student as an example. Make sure to check into Ethics codes and such...she can lose her job for that...at least up here she would. Stand Tall and Proud! You are doing an amazing thing and setting a wonderful example for everyone! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK@!!!!
Raven! Thanks for posting in my short little entry in my journal! Just that single post from you gave me so much confidence in myself you wouldn't believe it! And it's Awesome that you have been able to correlate the two day hunger pangs with your ToM. Alot of times, people won't take the time to try and analyze why, or where, things come from or happen. As for Wednesdays being your busy day, why not do something simple like taking a nice walk while you are waiting for your daughter to be done work? Or even consider it a rest day. Treat yourself to something nice, a bubble bath, a magazine and private reading time. Something that can relax you after such a hectic day? You DESERVE IT!@!!!!
Well ladies, after this I am going to post my little survey...I hope everyone joins in!

Morning Ladies! My addiction won out last night. I was getting ready to have a shower and the Scale called to me. I fought like crazy saying..."But I don't want to get on till Friday!" The scale replied back, "Trust usssssssss....You will be happyyyyyyyyyy...we are your friieeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnd...."
So I did....

I love reading everyone's surveys!

HS - yeah!!!!!! pre christmas weight is huge!!! You were losing like crazy then, weren't you!
Sounds like we all need to get together for some Mexican food!! We have this great place in town that is pretty authentic. Just so happens that one of my classmates is a waiter there. We get GREAT drinks I would eat there every day if I knew my butt wouldn't look like I was doing just that.
Today has been okay. Forgot to take Vitamins and am really struggling with not wanting to eat any of the 5 foods I'm allowed. I work at the clinic tomorrow though and am going to ask him if I can go on a protein drink or something like that. When I work out (TF - see that...twice at the gym, and I'm claiming to work out....) I get lightheaded easily. Need more food....tired of eating it.
Last night a box of splenda chocolate ice cream took me hostage. I am completely not allowed to have it but was still proud of myself for resisting the box of chocolates and cookies at my desk all day long!!!! I still lost 1/2 pound. Exciting but not very - I know it's just water at this point. I want my 133 back
Next week I think my toe will be well enough to hit the gym again. I find I miss the treadmill. RT are you sending the Treadmill vibe my way??? send away girlie!! I can use all the help you've got!!
Where is TF?? I hope the meetings went well for her!!!!
okay, this chapter of the book is done for today. Talk to you guys soon!! Hope you're all doing well and getting skinnier by the minute
Woo HS!!! *doin' the 'watch her go' dance!* Ya'll are gonna leave me in the dust!
We have this wonderful mexican place here.. they serve the white cheese with jalapenos and unlimited chips... you can really pork out there, if you want. My kids always want to go there for their birthdays!
Grasshopper - FIVE foods?? I'd have been insane within 2 days. Unless one of the five allowed was ice cream. Then I'd be set for life. Is this a test run for allergic reactions? Tell me you aren't limited for life?? I remember when I finally decided to move to GA to meet Richard and see if we could actually make it as a couple real time - I'd never been out of Alaska and you should have heard the folks telling me I'd HATE GA and omg he's probably an axe murderer... I'll admit he's a little twisted, but those are his GOOD qualities! Sadly, my mom never got to meet him. I know she would have thought he was great. Sending oodles of good, positive, treadmill vibes your way!! : : : GOoooooooooo Grasshopper!!! Rah!
Well, I hope Tulip Fairy is doing well and that the Catering guys didn't take her away from us forever! And I hope everyone else gets a chance to drop by. LeAnne, Blaue Liebe, And everyone else who's gone MIA...COME BACK! WE MISS YOU!!!Good evening everyone! Another good day of eating! And went to a job interview and I start next week. Back into Hi-end Woman's Fashion retail I go!lol It's kinda funny to see me selling expensive clothes. But I'm good at it. It still didn't rain here today so I was quite satisfied with that. Woulda been happier if it had been sunny out! The weathermen have been wrong everyday so far about their weather forecasts!lol
Grassie you sound in a wonderful mood today! That is awesome. And back into the gym! Amazing!! You are just blasting off the pounds! And yes I was losing like crazy before xmas...but then I fell off the eating wagon. And of course the physical labor of my job helped alot. Which is why I need to get back into the Gym. Hay how is the "Creepy Hands" case going? I'm really interested in hearing what comes of that. That teacher of yours sound like a downright B**Ch! Build up them muscles so's you can kick her but! I also noticed that you, Raven, and I all have roughly the same weight goal, @135 range. We should all be each other's supporters! Then we'll all go and use our muscles on Mr. Creepy Hands!LMAO
Raven, I gotta thank you for all the nice things you put in my journal! How's the kids and the critters? My horse is a ball of mud and I have to keep wiping my dogs's paws off after their walks. It's not raining here but it's wet and muddy. We just had a filly born at the farm on Sunday, tiniest little thing. This stud seems to be throwing small babies even on large mares. But they are good as far as conformation goes. This one looks like she's gonna be grulla. Hay...send some of those Treadmill vibes my way!!! Maybe it'll git me in gear to git into the gym!
HS you make me laugh. At this time of night I've had my biweekly massage and I'm relaxed.
I have to share this so you guys don't think it's all fun and fluff at massage school (i know you dont - just put that in for effect ) Tonight we had to get down to our undies (just take off our pants) and examine each other's abs. GREAT time to be feeling fat!!! I get the one guy in the class AND I'm wearing baby blue, lacy undies. Even better! So do I do his exam then It's my turn. He's very professional about the panties - but he pokes me in the tummy and says, "you're holding that in! relax and let it go!!" I'm sorry dude, but short of failing this class, I am NOT letting my chunky tummy hang out for you while standing in a t-shirt and socks and blue panties!!! sorry - it ain't happening. (in truth I just said uh-uh and he started laughing.). Then we did deep tissue massage on the tummy. Very very wierd.
mood is good. I ate well today and doc is going to see if I can have a rice based protein drink tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me!!
It was 80 here today - INCREDIBLE!!! Took Mac to the dog park, studied outside and finished up 2 of 5 papers. Things are going well. Now i just have to get through 2 more exams and it's spring break!!!! yippie yippie!!!!!
I'll weigh in tomorrow after my weigh in. Can't think well tonight so I know I'm not answering any questions!! I'll check in am tomorrow.
just kidding!!
