Say Hi to Your Mom - Elouise |

Apparently UCF is killing me ... I think there's something in the water.
First I had a severe sinus infection where I was coughing up blood.
And now I have Fifth Disease. WTF. Oh, hey, what's up? I'm 20-years-old, don't associate with children or anyone that has a child, and I've caught a highly contagious childhood illness that is extremely rare for people to catch past the age of 15. Awesome. The bad thing with catching it at my age is that I not only have the lace-like rash, but I also have EXTREME joint discomfort (I can barely move my left hand), which could develop into permanent arthritis. And apparently if I come into contact with a woman in their first trimester of pregnancy, I can kill their baby. ONLY ME.
Anyway, on to the not dying news:
· I was almost back to the weight i'd been pre-Chicago, only two pounds away! But I haven't been able to exercise because it might aggravate my condition, so that's down the tube.
· I have an A in three of my classes, and there's pretty much no way I can pull off an A in the last one, so here's hoping for a B or B+!
· Yeah, that's pretty much it. Depressing.

Metric - Help I'm Alive |

School is good, I've made a few friends, and classes are ridiculously easy. I got my scholarship check ~ $500 (they were supposed to deduct $150 for tuition and didn't, i'm not complaining)! And I joined an honor society which gives monthly scholarship opportunities, so i'm going to jump on top of that as soon as possible.
I learned how to ride a bike! Finally! I returned the Trike my dad bought me, and brought up the bike he bought me when I was in the 9th or 10th grade, it's really smooth and handles well ... I figure in about a week or two or three, i'll be comfortable enough to take it out on the main roads to get to and from school. I keep getting blisters on my hands because i'm still really tense with fear. I learned how to turn the bike without falling over today. :)
Janice and I have date night each Wednesday, we're pretty much just going to watch a movie each week and maybe eat out or cook for each other.
I've lost about 7 pounds since I've been up here, and that's pretty much because I make soup constantly, and because I drink 3 smoothies on average per week.
And the 18th-20th i'll be in Coral Springs, on the 18th i'll be shadowing Mrs. Read at Coral Glades the entire day, yay intro to education.

I am a carnivore. I'm not proud of being broken, but this was my first stint as a sort of vegetarian. I find just under 7 months impressive. I still feel that there are certain foods I refuse to eat, and the meat I do eat will be in moderation.
Aaaaannnnd, I'll be in Orlando by August 1st. :D

So, I sort of kicked my plateau in the face this week. I lost 8.4 pounds in seven days, and I'm only .6 lbs away from reaching my 10% target. FINALLY. I've been a pescetarian for about a month now, I started exercising daily again, and I stopped eating past 7:00/7:30 pm. These changes are a bit drastic, and at the meeting they said what I'm doing isn't for everyone, because not everyone has such a strong willpower.
I'm leaving for Mississippi Wednesday night for the Southeastern Regional Orientation Workshops (SROW) with the rest of the North Campus Ambassadors, so i'm going to the Tuesday morning Weight Watchers. I'll hopefully earn my 10% keyring, and another 5lb loss star that day. But yeah, haven't been this skinny since late 11th grade, around the time of my back injury. I'm also officially in a smaller size pant and shirt, but i'm not 100% comfortable yet. Maybe when I lose five more pounds.

I think I have senioritis. I'm managing to maintain my grades through sheer dumb luck, and the barest minimum of effort. Really, I think I'd be failing my World Religions class if he ever graded the work, because I never manage to turn it in on time. I probably am failing. The man grades on a goddamn check+++ system in college, what the fucking hell. And I'm pulling stupid shit that I haven't done since high school, like late nighters and making myself sick because I'm stressed. I don't want to have worked this hard, and come this far, to reach my downfall.
I can't remember the last time I exercised, and that totally shows if you look at my weight watchers book. I've been yo-yoing, and even though my diet is 95% on track, I just can't manage to exercise. I'm in a rut, and I just keep sinking deeper. I have felt so much more amazing since becoming a pescetarian, but that isn't enough. My goal when I started weight watchers was to be 50 lbs lighter by graduation, but I just don't see that happening healthily now. I think I'm also sick with myself because I was 2 lbs away from having a loss of 20 pounds about 8 weeks ago ... and as of Saturday I'm 2.4 lbs away from having that same loss. A more realistic goal is to lose those remaining pounds, and then by graduation hopefully have lost 10-15 more.
You'd think that getting accepted into UCF would've lifted my spirits, but it actually looks like I'm worse than I was before. I know that I can't keep this up when I'm up there because it will kill me.
I know that all of my issues are tied together, I just don't know how to break the cycle. I think a good slap in the face would do me wonders.
