So, I kind of checked out for the last few days. I actually worked on several blog posts over the weekend but none of them felt up to par. My midterm on Wednesday went well enough. Then I had off from school Thursday and Friday. I had all these glorious plans for my 4 day weekend but nothing really panned out.
Rob ended up taking a half day Thursday and a full day Friday to spend time with me. We really just relaxed and didn’t worry about chores or anything. We hadn’t gotten any real time to spend together since I started school so it was lovely!
Sunday, Rob and I randomly decided to head out to the Renaissance Faire for the last time this year and I had a great time as usual. Best part was that we got there late and after 4:00, it is half price entry! We just walked around for a few hours, ate dinner, and enjoyed being outside and people watching. I can’t wait for next year!!
Today, it is back to the grind. I have shadowing in the evenings this week from 6-8 PM. I heard it often runs late so I may miss the 8:45 train and have to take the 10:45 train. That would get me home around 12:30 AM! Yuck! Let’s hope I don’t have to do that too often this week.
Health is up and down as always. I took my measurements last week and I am way up in everything. Not good. As I’ve always thought though, in order to lose weight, you have to be ready. So while I still struggle, I have obviously not reached the “ready” point. I will keep trying to get there though!
I managed to only hit the gym once this weekend. You would think with all that time off? I blame being out of habit. I really just forget to go sometimes! Working on that.
I also took pictures of all my food yesterday to help with personal accountability. I am trying that out again today too. I ate a lot of snacks yesterday but it was often only one or two pieces. Still, lots of snacks.
You can also see that I’m not eating paleo at all right now. I am just working on tracking and calories. Keeping away from grains and dairy is always there, but isn’t top priority right now.
That’s pretty much it for today! I have class and then a few hours until shadowing tonight. Plenty of time to study and get some work done. Until tomorrow!
I had some dairy last week (damned chocolate custard), should post the cyst I’m enjoying from it. I absolutely know that I’ll get 1 – 5 and I still do it. TOM, what can I say? There’s just nothing else like it for replacement.
So glad to see you and Rob had ‘you’ time!
I have started tracking again. Its amazing to see what I thought was an ounce of cashews would be, as oppose to what it really is. I hate doing it, but from time to time, it helps
Yes!!! The “heavy hitters” I definitely weight and measure like avocado, nuts, oils, etc. They sure can pack on the calories!
