i won't let myself though because if i start i won't stop....
i want to eat pizza, chips, fried chicken, calzones filled with cheese and chicken, cakes, ice cream, mashed potatoes, cheesecake, bread, cheese, chocolate...
french fries, cheeseburgers, anything fried...
i am reminding myself this stuff i crave is no good. for the waist or the heart, blood pressure, just not good.
this is the first time i felt a really strong craving in the past month. i have started to notice a difference in the way clothes fit and look, i feel better in general. i will not give in to the food demons!!!!
ok, i am going to eat lobster and caviar in vegas.... but i am pretty sure my stomach has shrank and i can't eat as much as i used to. plus i am going to wear something fitted so i am not tempted to fill myself beyond belief. i want to look good at the club.
two days off the plan and i think i'll be ok. we also plan to walk and dance the night away!!!!!!
i have to go to bed soon so i can wake up at 5 to hike and then work. thanksgiving doesn't feel like a holiday... it feels like i have tons of hw to do, workout, cook all day, and then clean...
i honestly wish i wasn't celebrating thanksgiving this year... i don't want to be around so much food and wine. i also would rather just be lazy and eat hummus and veggies and take a nice long hike without worrying about cooking and cleaning. i just want to relax and watch movies...

barely made it My hike today was especially difficult...
Maybe because it was my third day in a row, or maybe I was going much faster than usual. Not sure... Anyway it was good either way.
Then I was late to work... The children I nanny keep getting home earlier and earlier. What is the point of having school until 3PM when the buses leave at 245? Their mom will have to figure this out because my classes and internship don't end until 245 and I am tired of speeding and risking my life to get here on time.
I just applied for scholarships, grants, and extra loans. I am saying a prayer I get some financial help because it will be near impossible to work next semester. I am doing well now but that is because I have a very strict schedule and little to no free time or social life.
I was so out of breath!!! If you can see the winding road way down at the bottom, that's where I started.

Ten minutes by walk, right? Or ten minutes by highway?

mmmm sunday.i woke up at 10 or 11 today.... this hasn't happened since,
well i am not sure. then i had coffee, breakfast, and shopping for thanksgiving food.
i came home and painted my nails, finally. the toes are next... i also attempted to watch green lantern and that movie is such a corny piece of crap i turned it off...
i went on my 4 mile hike. i made my best time yet, 75 minutes up and down and i even stopped to rest a few times. now i feel kinda sore and sleepy.
i am loving the colder weather, makes me want to cuddle up in blankies and comfy clothes.
i didn't do:
laundry
homework
anything else.
what a great relaxing weekend.
for (e:tinypliny).... the polish is already kinda messed up but oh well.
it's a mix of grey and purple...
eating right and making time for fitness is really a challenge, but i feel so good about it. i guess i'm making an entire lifestyle change. feels good.

almost le weekenddoes anyone else find school stressful? i think that's why it's taken me so long. i'm tired of getting up at 5am.... and i'm tired of writing, and then writing some more.
i want to paint my nails!!!!!!!!!!! this weekend i am going to:
clean
do laundry
hike
circuit train
sleep
paint nails
sleep
do homework.
tomorrow i have to get up at 5am, try to hike, intern, work one job, then another job. 8am-1030pm... longest day ever. boo.
apparently the people from the restaurant are supposed to call but i am so over it. who runs a business like that? apparently lots of people... i really just don't want to work anymore until i graduate. it's so confusing and busy... probably why i am so stressed and have zero social life.
to all young people. go to class and don't screw it up the first time around and then you won't have to be old and unaccomplished like me.

Just so you know I feel pretty unaccomplished even though I have never skipped a single class ever. I have come to a conclusion, school is not for accomplishment, it's for developing thinking skills and the ability to stand your ground, and yet, be humble enough to accept that you are always error-prone and life is always uncertain, no matter how accomplished anyone might or might not feel. It is also for instilling perseverance in the face of temptation and the determination to see things through, regardless of how tough and unpleasant it might be. Lastly, it is for looking at yourself frankly and appreciating what you have and deciding to at least try to achieve what don't have (and I don't mean material things at all).

mounting frustrationif there is one thing that i absolutely cannot stand it is being ignored, or being avoided. the manager from the restaurant i started at called me off on sunday because it was going to be too busy?! ok, so then she said she would call me monday. no call. so i called her, it is now wednesday morning and still no call.
it is safe to say i am done with her and her shady ways. if you don't like me or want me to work for you, just tell me. i won't cry, unless you really yell at me and call me worthless0 then i might cry.
the icing on the cake is she is getting married this weekend and asked me to cater at her wedding, yeah right lady. i bet she will call friday or something... idk i don't care for her ways but the money would be good.
really, if you know me and you avoid me or have before, you know this is not a good idea. why can't people just face each other and say what they have to say in an honest way without being intentionally hurtful and then move on?
so, it was such a waste of my time to fit that endeavor into my schedule. seriously, i don't like my time being wasted. i'll figure something else out, i can be a nanny on the weekends i am sure. really working with children is like my calling because there is never a shortage of children and parents who seem to really love me. i'll take this as a sign!
i got on the scale and it says i weigh 3 lbs more. i think it's water weight but it's irritating me.
i need to hike and i want someone to just call or text me and say, "you can do it." just for that extra push.
it's the end of the semester and i am lacking enthusiasm for any type of school related activity. i can't wait to just have a break and do nothing but work, work out, paint my nails, do laundry, watch movies, sleep, and literally nothing else.
my life is simple one these days, save for my vegas and blo trip which i'm sure will be action packed. life is better when it's simple... 2012 is the year i rely on my strengths to get where i need to be.
i feel like doing nothing today... when i need to hike, intern, work, project meeting, hw, laundry, cleaning.... paint nails(not going to happen). blah.

There are base colors and glazes, and supposedly you paint on the base and then the glaze and combined it creates a different colors depending on how many coats of each shade you use. Ill try it this weekend and post a pic.
Its most likely made of toxic stuff like most nail polish.

So You have been hired? Now granted I have never worked that type of job... But there is training and the new people from what I have heard start out when it is slow and get worked in.... It could be that you are what is known as fill in help.... Meaning when someone calls in or has to go home early or wants a day off then you get to work.... That being said I have some memory of putting in an application at like a Burger King and now that I think of it... They Needed help but yet couldn't hire me cause they didn't have the time to train me.... I choked that up to really meaning that they needed someone who all ready knew how to do the Job..... This could be the case in your case?

Maybe not in an hour... around 3 hours (but I lose it in the next hour). You will too.

Jokes apart, everyone has this phase of ennui and annoyance mixed together. I am really sure that you will get through this all. And 3 lbs is nothing. It's around 1/3rd of what a gallon of water weighs. I can easily push up my weight by 5 lbs if I am determined in an hour. :)

That is a very cool idea, (e:Paul). They use that in food trials and it has a good success rate of cutting down craving without actually giving in.
You don't have to.cut out everything. Just moderate it. Like eat a whole lot of low Cal high nutrient veggies and a fourth of a calzone. You'll get full but you'll still get the taste. If you eat it last it will feel like you ate it all along
