Home from a lovely weekend with my mom and enjoying some much-needed relaxation!

1: protein shake
2: brunch at my mom's CCRC - holy crap.  I had smoked salmon with fried eggs and then I tried a few other things.  There was so much food.  I

I'm spending most of my day in a college library since tonight I get to go up to PA to visit my mom for the weekend!  My partner works at this college, which is about 1/3 of the way to my mom's, so it made more sense for me to come to work with him and

Today is my first cat dissection day in Anatomy.  I've never dissected anything, so I'm a bit concerned about how I'll cope.  I also have no idea how this will impact my eating.

I didn't get my popcorn last night for the debate.  I remembered that I've got two temp crowns right now and that eating popcorn might not be the best idea.  Sad times.

I want a DXA scan.  I mean, seriously, who doesn't?  They're awesome, am I right?!  And I keep hoping that all the radiation will give me super powers!!

Clearly I need to call my insurance first, but I'm procrastinating on that because my insur

I should NOT be the one to start the post this week, but here's to accountability :P  Yesterday my partner and I went to the Ren Faire, a diner for lunch, and then out for Indian for his "last meal" prior to his heart surgery today.  And the scale rewa

No idea what today has in store.  My partner is having heart surgery this morning (catheter ablation) and I've got to go to class.  After class I'll be driving to the hospital and should be getting there before the procedure actually finishes.  We don'

My plan for the day involves going to the Ren Faire and eating out.  My partner is having cardiac catheter ablation tomorrow and the day's plans revolve around keeping him distracted.  He's pretty worried/nervous.  :(

It's October!  How is that possible?  Today is the day I update my goals, something I've been really slacking on this year.  It's also the day for measurements!  Those things are on my blog, so I won't spam them here, but it's weird how I can feel like

Happy Friday!  Not so happy for me since I get to have two temp crowns put in today, but oh well.  It's still Friday and my dentist is awesome.

2: um.  This will be post-dental work so I might have another shake.  Or jus

It's wet.  I ran.  I'm wet.  

Meals on Tu/Th are always weird for me since I never know if my brain will demand sustenance while I'm at school in the evening or not.  Sometimes I'm fine to wait to eat dinner when I get home, sometimes I need to

I'm working up the urge to go to pilates class.  Waze just told me I have 10 minutes before I need to leave. So I'll post this really quickly.  Yesterday turned out to be a decent day.  I got a 96/100 on my first lecture exam in Anatomy and Physiology!

Good morning.  I had planned on eating popcorn during the debate last night.  I had not planned that I would also NEED chocolate.  Luckily a box of chocolates had arrived from Norway earlier in the day, so I had about 4 ounces of delicious Norwegian mi

I slept in 60 minutes this morning since it's NICE outside!  So I didn't need to wake up at 6:30 to have halfway decent running weather.  In fact, I was actually a little chilly when I left to run!  It's hard to believe that this time last year I was b

Happy weekend!  Aside from feeling like I can never get enough sleep, life is going well for me.  I REALLY like my Anatomy/Physiology prof this term.  She's amazing and explains things so well!

Good morning all.  

Today I start my third month of Vyvanse and I'm still super pleased.  I haven't had a single episode of binging since I started the medication.  Which isn't to say that I've always eaten on plan, but even when I eat off plan

Hi all.  Bad week for me to start this because I had a race yesterday and my weight always skyrockets after a race, but yay for accountability.  I know it's not real weight and it'll be gone in a few days, so I'm not worried.  :)
