day 7

apparently this was the day that people i used to be friends with blasted me with annoying emails. uh, there's a reason we don't speak anymore so let's keep it that way.

i sent (e:tina) a sephora gift card last night. i love giving gifts and i can't wait until christmas because i know little zooey is going to be so spoiled and go mad over all of the gifts we give her. christmas with little kids is so much more fun!!!!

so here's what i ate:

protein bar

half a korean pear(they are huge)

cheese crisp crackers

hummus

carrots

string cheese

pepperoni

two organic chicken tenders

bit of ranch

i did some circuit training yesterday morning and then went for a 2.5 mile walk/run last night. i'm proud of myself for actually sticking to this healthy plan for more than 2 days. i also actually feel better all around too... it's amazing what happens when i don't gorge myself full of crappy food.

1 egg

toast lightly buttered

tortilla soup

carrots

half a korean pear

protein bar

whole grain pita chips, about 10

hummus, 3 table spoons

1 tomato

throw up workout

have you ever worked out so hard or been so out of shape that you threw up after?

right now, that's basically me.

i really don't want to throw up though, so i am trying to hold it in.

count on any jillian micheals dvd to do that to you. i swear even people in really good shape suffer through those things. it's pretty much 50 minutes of bootcamp. i think the reason they are so hard is that you use mostly your own body weight for resistance, and if you have a few extra pounds it makes it that much harder.

anyway, day 5:

2 cups coffee with hazelnut creamer

1 egg

1 piece lightly buttered toast

1 piece ciabatta bread pizza with tomato, pesto, evoo, cheese

1 slice provolone

banana

and maybe a pear and vegetable soup for dinner

i'm hoping i can walk tomorrow, i need to at least hike or something but jillian has left with me little strength lol.

whoopie!

My brother sent me a giant whoopie pie for my bday. It just arrived, and its 5 whole lbs of yummy.

I actually froze it because a) I need a houseful of people to help eat it and b) I am not on a giant dessert diet.

Behold!

food diary day 1

in an effort to undo the harm i managed to do in a month... i am going to blog my daily food intake for a whole 30 days.

not only do i need to get back in shape, but i need to hold myself accountable for eating bad things and make my health a priority. plus if i write it down, i can't deny that it entered my system.

i want to look amaze for vegas in a month, and it's a great motivator and also will encourage me to exercise and eat right!

i also have some digestive issues that seem to flair up when i don't eat right. veggies and whole grains, here i come!

today:

zone fudge graham protein bar

1/4 cup hummus with organic carrots

cup strawberries

organic beef hotdog on slice of whole wheat bread with a bit of organic mayo, mustard, ketchup, pickles

handful pita chips

bowl of roasted red pepper crab bisque- surprisingly not laden with fat

coffee with hazelnut flavoring

1 string cheese

so i probably had too much salt, but i think that's a good start.

tomorrow i start the workout plan... i really think i can lose 10 lbs in 30 days because i tend to lose weight fast if i try but i wouldn't mind if i just toned up a bit and had more energy after 30 days. wish me luck!

i shall report tomorrow evening.

paperless pledge

i received an email today about pledging to use less paper @ asu.... which i am totally fine with. however, the instructors need to all get on the same page with this. i think it's so insane that some of my professors won't accept electronic assignments. i actually think some of them just don't know how to use technology all that well and this is their reasoning.

i have a professor who is near 80 and she can use blackboard just fine... people need to git wit it.

i am becoming friends with a lot more people on campus than before but sometimes it's frustrating because all of the women in my program are engaged, looking to get engaged or already married at a young age. this is odd to me... i am not interested in owning a home or having children at this point. as modern women don't owe it to ourselves to have a bit more lofty dreams?!

one of the cool things about being an educator is the ability to teach from so many places... i plan on taking full advantage.

i started my diet today and then the mom's bf bought me a sandwich, soup and cookie. not as bad as fast food but just as many calories.

a friend invited me to sleepover but i don't like going to her house because she has so many pets. i have such difficulty finding friends who don't have/ don't like animals in the home. a fish or turtle here and there is fine, but dogs and cats no way...

i am also picky because i have really nice sheets pillows, and a great mattress. so what then is the point of a sleepover? i'm like a boring grumpy old lady. with the face of a young lady.

i've spent at least 250 this month so far on gas... which is hard earned money gone to such a waste. this valley is too big... too big and too many suvs.

Mayyyyybe if more people considered a diet, Americans wouldn't be the most obese nation in the world.

I'm going to workout now, because it actually is important.

deeglam writes at 04:58:16 11/01/11 - Comment #65891: who says you can't have an amazing career and all the things you want, along with children and a marriage and a home? I consider myself a modern woman in every sense of the word.

I am highly educated, have a great career, enjoy the finer things in life, enjoy taking care of myself in terms of beauty regime and such to the fullest extent, but I am also a wife and a mother and take care of 2 small dogs and a home. THAT to me, is a successful modern woman. My child is the MOST important and rewarding thing that I have in my life, and the things that you worry about are so minuscule in the grand scheme of things- we, at some point, grow up and learn that there is more to life then parties, diets and lipgloss. There is nothing wrong with a woman who wants more in life.

If it is your choice to not want those things, thats fine. But others do. That doesn't mean you can't be friends with them or relate to them, and I hope that you don't close the door on those woman who you are learning more and more about....that would be a complete shame.

So before you put down what others live for (such as the women at your school who want to get married and have children) with dumb comments such as that, maybe you should consider all that it entails- a true modern woman can do all that YOU do, and then some.

Mind you, being a mother and a wife is a much more involved role than any you can imagine- it takes time and effort and more patience then you think you have. I personally am proud of the 'modern' and 'lofty' woman I am- and I have pushed my personal limits to be a stronger woman than I ever thought I could be.

Just and FYI. Not that my opinion matters or anything...

metalpeter writes at 05:41:00 10/26/11 - Comment #65789: Yeah going paperless is a nice Idea but not really great in some ways... I'm sure teachers hear horror stories all the time here it is on the flash drive... Empty Flash drive... Or oh it crashed when I was saving it... No way to prove this true or not.... With a written paper how ever much you wrote or typed is typed... This also cuts down on cheating.... Way back when I was in school you could pay someone to research a paper for you (legit not sure)... Now you could also pay someone to type some thing for you... Can the two be combined not sure... But I've heard of teachers who have got papers and just reading it as they eat dinner or watch TV or what ever at home have noticed a pattern yes of someone else's paper I bet with it on a screen you don't notice that.... Yes all people should have computer skills but if someone (both teachers and students) is going to have a Tech problem (real or fake) then Paper is the way to go.... Also with a thing like a sylibis (how ever you spell it) any change to that has to be documented... If it is say online somewhere it could be changed and what if the student can't find it.... Some teachers use that and if you don't know what it says you can wind up lost....

0. Hmm.. it can be annoying. But going paperless is a worthy cause that everyone can participate in. Re-purposing scrap sheets, recycling/re-using whenever possible, avoiding unnecessary wasteful printing. Trying to read on reading-friendly big screens all contribute towards the basic cause.
1. I admire pets but from a BIG distance. In fact I share your feeling about cats and dogs in the house. They somehow feel like they really belong outside. And I have some issues with the very concept of a "pet".
2. Move to a city where you can take public transport or walk/bike.
3. I don't know. Renting in big cities is a more ecologically sound/time-efficient decision than settling down in suburban and urban houses that need constant renovation/repairs. I don't know if I am a modern woman (for all purposes, I sometimes think like I am from the dark ages where people just murdered everyone willy nilly without care) but yeah, I don't know if I am happy with the concept of owning a house.... a small flat in the middle of the city, maybe, but not a house. I also am coming to an internal consensus that I will adopt if I want kids. I am giving up looking for significant others. Taking a fatalist view here and assuming that if it's meant to be, it will be otherwise, I am just going to enjoy my life as it is. It's way less stress without relationship drama.

paul writes at 01:25:18 10/26/11 - Comment #65782: 0. I am so tired of people lacking basic computer skills.
1. I wish all cats would spontaneously die.
2. That hard earned money is not being wasted. Its funding global war.
3. I think you could be a modern woman and still own your own house. Its kind of a liberating action to not be dependent.

this house makes noises

every once in a while this house i'm nannying at makes random noises. i think someone is home, and then it's just this creaking noise.

i hate being scared.

i also hate that paranormal activity commercial with the little girl who is standing in the room looking creepy. i am so scared of it that when it comes on tv and i don't have time to grab the remote i run out of the room or close my eyes and cover my ears.

i want a filter on my t.v. that will bypass all things scary and only allow me to watch bravo programs and the kardashians. and abc, because they have the best shows.
