Just One of Those Things

It’s been an interesting week.

I can’t believe I’m wrapping up the third week of classes. Is it this third week or is it the fourth? Really, it’s splitting hairs because it’s going to take me 16 total weeks to get through these classes and Thanksgiving is still a distant dream.

Work is fabulous and I love my job.

I’m eating healthy (like, way healthy), small (100-200cal), frequent meals but have not been exercising as much. Now I do 50 situps in bed every morning and try to walk in place at the bus stop with my daughter and while waiting in line with my other daughter. I try to do my exercise like my food, short regular blasts throughout the day.

I’m not saying that’s the best way to do it, but since 85% of weight loss is diet – I’m going to focus on perfecting the food intake and “regular foods” in the house first. Then I’ll become my very own exercise expert. In the meantime, I’ll do as much as I can fit into my schedule and figure out if I can do one of the full length core rhythms videos instead of the five-minute quick blast which I also do randomly through the day, because it rules! (Plus I could swear it’s more than five minutes. Hmmm.)

Alright, I have to finish my Physics homework and re-read the chapters in the book (not in that order) so I can have a basic understanding of acceleration vs. velocity. Required classes are hardcore. I hate lab science. But you know what, I’m seeing this through to the end. I’m a little confused about what my concentration should be. I thought economics and now am kind of thinking political science but really am unsure what you can do with either right now. But I’m still liking economics.

Maybe if we can do it I should just do one masters after the other. That would be good times.

  • I’m taking an economics class right now and it’s totally kicking my ass. Elasticity equations? Seriosuly WTF!

    Anyway, I’m glad you’re focusing on your classes without losing sight of your weight loss goals! Keep up the good work!

    Also…if you have any advice on elasticity equations and some free time (gah…who has that?!) I could use your help. *bats eyelashes*

    Have a wonderful day!

  • 3 weeks and you haven’t been given the boot, lol. You are staying focused, putting me to shame right now, kinda lol.

  • Jen

    Pshaw, you’re a beautiful, intelligent, sophisticated woman with a green home. I’m just rocking some classes. As for school, I took a career assessment yesterday and it says I should be in marketing, sales and management. The test administrator looked surprised and said, “You should own a business!” I just sighed. Because if I wanted to do that, well, I wouldn’t be back in school now, would I? LOL

  • LOL if only the test admin knew what you did on a daily basis!

    I’m glad you are finding a groove for you and the girls. Food is and will always be my demon but I’m finding that if I don’t fight it and go along with it more that it works. Same thing with the exercise. I don’t like calling it that anymore then calling it something I “have” to do. When I think of it. I move. Be it a few quick jumping jacks or some weird dancing that moves my whole body. I know I’m overweight and I cry when I see a picture of myself but I’m not going to let it consume me and I’m just going to keep on keeping on.
