I knew stuff was gonna be hectic- but MAN- it's hectic. Today I have 3 finals- 1 down, 2 to go as I write this (I'm taking a 10 minute break or so to collect myself). Today I spent the morning in my doctors office, and then tomorrow I've got a different doc appt. and my huge party is tomorrow. plus I'm supposed to clean up the glass studio. gosh I'm already tired.

My doctor did say that I've lost 20 lbs of FAT since I was in on April 1st. That was good to hear. It made me wonder about investing in a scale that measures body fat... cause I guess I've gained some muscle bulk which is tipping the scales against me.

Today I got a couple more things that I ordered online- American Eagle size 12 boyfriend jeans that fit and look AWESOME.

alright, now to the finals...

So, I found out yesterday that if I want to eat more than my sleeve allows- with minor determination, I can. I've usually been getting in like 850-950 calories, and then exercising. Well, yesterday was the first time I haven't run in about a week. I did do some serious work at the glass blowing studio, but nothing that gets my heart pumping like running.

Anyway, I was in the mood for cheese, so my morning was pretty caloric, and I ate a little past feeling full. Well that night I went to carraba's with friends and I was starving when I got there, so of course I ate their bread, making sure to dip it in oil so it wouldn't stick in my throat as much. And then I ate like 2 bites more than I should have of the entre (which, after the bread, wasn't much). Then I had sweets when I came home.

I finally got up this morning to track it all and try to take some responsibilty- caloric  total? 1766 calories. and the impressive thing, I find, is absolutely none of that was liquid. and I still managed to only get 40 grams of protein.

So, it's being filed in the "learning lessons" category, and I'm wondering whether i can get off and run today or thinking I may DDR instead so I can stay cool inside and also not have as much impact. I'm still pretty sore.

My doctor got back to me about being dizzy a lot, and he said it was almost 100% dehydration. I didn't think that was possible with how much I drink, but I'm uping the water anyway. I'm gonna be practically swimming on the inside.

I got to see Rhonda on Thursday- she was working and I went by and we chatted. she's so funny, and I totally enjoy her bluntness and how she understands everything that I'm going through because she's gone through it. It was just realllllly nice. I also got some more new clothes and they're cute. Got some skinny jeans ;)
