Wow, this is getting old. 

I have no excuse for this week.  I just did bad.  I even continued to do bad the rest of the weekend, after I speechified about how I was gonna do better.  It seems like all I do is talk about how I'm about to do better.

I'm not going to do any speechifying today.  I did bad this week.  I hope I can do better from now on.

Good luck to you all,

All Downhill From Here

Phew!  The school week is now over.  The bulk of the homework is done.  There's more to do, but there's all weekend to do it.  It's safe to say that most of the horror is over.  I have used being extremely busy as an excuse to eat crap all week, and now that I'm not extremely busy anymore I'm going to put a screeching halt on all the crap.  To signify this, I will now report on all the crap I've eaten so far this week and promise that when I report on all that I've eaten from this moment to Saturday night, it will be a very different list!

Sunday
1. handful of mixed nuts.  2. wendy's: small chili, half apple chicken salad, and a chocolate chip cookie dough frosty thing.  3. wendy's: spicy breaded chicken bacon ranch sandwich and a huge vitamin water.  4. a bunch of fresh, delicious pineapple and a big plateful of hamburger helper.

Monday
1 a can of soup and a slice of bread.  2. a can of soup and a handful of triscuits.  3. panera: the you pick two special with broccoli cheddar soup, a half fuji apple chicken salad and the whole wheat baguette.

Tuesday
1. bowl of rice and beans and a cinnamon sugar pop tart.  2. a snicker's bar.  3.  CHINESE BUFFET - EPIC FAIL!  4. a bag of doritos and a vitamin water.

Wednesday
1. arby's: ham egg cheese breakfast sourdough, to which I added lettuce, tomato, mayo, and bacon (epic fail) and a bacon egg cheese burrito thingy and a big 4 coffee with 4 each cream and sugar.  2. handful of mixed nuts and a dr. pepper.  3. arby's: all-american roast burger combo with dr. pepper and a cup of their red ranch stuff.

Thursday
1. mcdonald's: breakfast burrito, bacon egg cheese mcgriddle, big coffee with 4 each cream and sugar.  2. wendy's: two junior bacon cheeseburgers, a double stack, and a chocolate milk.  3. a vitamin water.

Like I said, I've eaten nothing but crap, all week long.  I feel like crap, too.

Next update is going to be very, very different!  And also...in the middle of writing this I took a 1.75 mile walk!  Yay!!!

Good luck to you all,

A Mid-Week Update

Okay, so this week's goals were to write down everything I eat and do do my homework.  So far, I have written down everything I ate.  It's all been crap.  And I have done a lot of homework.  There's still plenty to do, but I'm pretty much vaguely on track now.  At this point, however, I am expecting no loss for this week.  But hey, maybe Friday and Saturday I can take a chunk out of the damage... but so far, there has been a lot of staying up late and eating junk and drinking coffee and pop.  So, we'll see I guess.  But at the moment I'm just happy to be pretty much vaguely on track with the homework.

Good luck to you all,

A-List

This week's color is a light, metallic, silvery blue called "A-List".  For now, I will simply say that it is there to remind me of one of my goals for this week, which is to DO MY FREAKIN' HOMEWORK!!!  I have said before what a terrible procrastinator I am, but to tell the truth...I have a 4.0 right now, in my second to last semester.  I do procrastinate, but it ends up being positive reinforcement when I end up the curvebuster (again!) anyway.  I've realized that it's one of the main sources of my self-esteem (sad, yeah, I know).  Anyway, this semester has been the procrastinator of procrastinators, and I'm starting to think I'm like one of those thrill-seekers who gets closer and closer to something that they're just not likely to survive.  I'm all like, "look!  I made an A on this 10-page paper even though I wrote it in the three hours just before it was due!  That was AWESOME!"  And I have to admit, it is pretty awesome.  But someday (I don't think it's today, but it's coming) I'll wait too long, and I won't get an A.  It's a highly insecure way of finding my limits.  So of course I want to keep pushing to new heights (can I write a 10-page A paper in two hours?!?  It's so tempting...!)  but I really, really, really shouldn't.  No.  I shouldn't.  It's not healthy.  I'm sure.  I mean I've been told.  And I'm sure they're right and I'm wrong, I mean who has the 4.0 after a-  oh, crap, that's me.  *sigh* oh what a circular reasoning we weave...but seriously, this week, I really have to do my homework.  I forgot why, but the nailpolish will remind me.  To do my homework.  Yeah.

Good luck to you all,
JadeAmber

Week Three was pretty shaky for the first half.  Once I got in touch with my inner jungle cat, things got a lot better.  :-)  This week I have two goals: to write down everything I eat and to stay on top of my homework.  I know homework doesn't have anything to do with weight loss directly, but it has a lot to do with how I feel about myself, which always affects how I eat because I use terrible food both as an emotional crutch and as a way to punish myself.  (I know, I'm such a joy.)  So hopefully this week will be about accountability.  I'm dreading it a little, but it really, really needs to happen.  So...deep breath, jungle cat roar, and off we go!

Good luck to you all,
