This has been one of the most insane weeks for me. Obviously since I have not been updating this on a semi-daily basis due to ridiculousness you out there in internet land can understand. My week started out quite well with me making a criminal law test my bitch on Monday. Then things started to deteriorate on thursday. You must be thinking "why would that make a WHOLE week bad if she had a decent time from monday to thursday morning? WELL. Thursday was just a bitch of a day. I worked an 8 hour shift, then I worked an extra 2 hours due to the crazy that the pharmacy was going through. On friday I was pulled into the office and was basically told I am useless. I also got written up for something I didn't do. Yeah, that shit-pie was delicious. Saturday was a big pile of fun too. Only stayed an hour late. But enough about that ranting. Did I mention that my airbag light and my check engine light came on? Totally awesome. I don't really enjoy the fact that there is literally no time for me to take my car into the shop to get it checked out. It is still under warranty but there is a very small chance that I have time in the next 6000 miles to get it looked at.
Obviously I am annoyed and I am keeping this blog short and sweet-ish.
I got some pretty sweet ass cowboy boots for valentines day as well! Just gotta wear some thick socks to avoid ze bleesters on my foot. It only rubs in one spot! They are a lot more comfortable than I ever would have imagined. They were on my list of things to get done before going to Europe this summer. CHECK!
bought some new clothes today as well. Met my mom's new boyfriend also. Can't say I'm excited about this guy, but whatever.

GymmieJam.
So here I am at the gym blogging again. I skipped this weeks official weigh in because of that infamous water weight... ANYWAYS, it has been an interesting journey so far. Being dedicated to eating healthier is a total sham right now. My addiction to bad foods did not beat me, its just my lack of time to go home and prepare a proper meal at a reasonable time. I am at the mercy of my schedule and drive through windows. Work is AGONIZING when you put that and full time school together. I would probably love working (like I used to) if I wasn't in school. I know I would enjoy school more if I didn't have to work! That is for damned sure. As far as school goes its pretty awesome. I took my first test yesterday and I scored an 84. You are thinking "an 84? thats it? a B?!" and I'm thinking, "YEAH A B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Considering how little I was actually able to study for this exam and to pop out a B in a LAW CLASS ain't so shabby. Perhaps this is actually my field! Basically I am torn between my love of arguing and my love of science. Be a doctor or a lawyer? Med school or Law school...
I figure I will finish up this spring semester, and then finish next fall, and I will just own up and make a decision! Granted I will have to take horrible classes like organic chem if I want to stick to my medical field, and then on the other hand I would be taking a bunch of boring stuffy law classes that I would have to snort No-Doz just to get through. Either way, when I graduate I am in a way better position to make a lot of money. International corporate law anybody? Paging Dr.Alyssa! If I was a doctor though I would end up working at some kind of trauma hospital because I love the environment. The mixed smell of sterility and blood. My favorite! If I become a lawyer its off to Washington, D.C. the happiest place on earth!
Enough about the power struggle in my head. My workout today was one of preconceived notions. What do I mean by that? I used those handy preset buttons on the treadmill today. The "weight loss" program was a little too easy, and the machine kept telling me to SLOW DOWN...SLOW DOWN. I was only walking at 3mph which is a 20 minute mile. I don't even walk that slow when I mosey around campus. I know it was trying to keep me in my target heart rate zone, but that mission was accomplished. I stayed at a steady 135bpm. I even worked out enough to burn off half the bagel I ate this morning. But now I am going through some killer cravings for proper food. I think I'm gonna end up eating a 10am lunch today. Eating on campus is pretty much impossible to eat any semblance of healthy food. So perhaps a salad smothered in ranch? or maybe some panda express... its been a while. I rearry rove chinee foo.
Other than my struggle with getting to the gym on a nearly every day basis (its harder when you have people visit you every weekend) I have had some interesting helper situations. I love helping people get through their problems, but yet I can never reach out for help myself. The only time I can remember reaching out to someone for help was when I was getting sucked down into the river and I reached my hand up for a tube from the lifeguard. Literally reaching out or else I could have drowned. That was last summer. Did I mention that I used to be a competitive swimmer? AND I come from a family of swimmers? I am also really, REALLY buoyant. How the hell that happened, I do not know. I think it was because I was squished in between 50 inner tubes and drunk floating thighs.
Thats all I got for you today folks.
P.S. Egypt, get your shit together. My gas prices are going up and I don't appreciate it. America, get your shit together. Stop depending on foreign EVERYTHING.

Can I have a fruit cup with that labor?
So I weighed in today, and astonishingly, this whole cutting back on eating crappy foods thing is working out! I lost 5 pounds so far, and I am almost in a new set of 10's. Next week should be even more promising. I havent ridden the busses here on campus even though I don't like walking up those hills, I tramp my way up them grumbling every moment. Each day it gets a little bit easier though.
With the extensive cheating on my "diet" or lifestyle change I thought I would be in the exact same spot I was before. Who would have thunk that breakfast tacos are magical diet tools. I think the trick is this: no munching, snacking, obnoxious ammounts of carbs or sugar, Three meals a day. Thats the biggest part. THREE meals a day. I could do the whole 5 meals a day thing, but then I would load my plate and be back at square one. Eating on a schedule is definitely helpful. Try not to eat past 8pm so that my ambien will work more efficiently, and trying not to eat my just desserts is very hard. Luckily skinny cow is my savior. Can't believe how delicious they are and at less than 200 calories per giant ice cream sammich. Can't say that my back has improved any, but the whole wheezing part has. I can run around on campus like a champ.
