I am having the same problem, except reversed with the working out. I don't have time in the mornings when I go to school, but by the time I get home I am just so tired and feel like I need to study! For some reason, in my mind, I feel like exercising for only 15 or 20 minutes is a waste of time....not sure why because it is better than the nothing I do when I think that.

So I now remember why I like life without cable. I ran out of time. I was going to exercise before BL but I did not get home in time. Then I was going to exercise afterward and got scared that I wouldn't be able to sleep. Tomorrow I have a dinner with some people so I doubt I'll get to workout. Maybe I'm gonna have to suck it up and just workout in the mornings. The evenings are killing me.

OK...And I asked Brad to the fair. I really wanted to go and everyone is busy with school. So I texted him and asked and he called me and said sure he would go. So we were texting about it and now he's fallen off the earth. Do you think I freaked him out? I just wanted someone fun to go to the fair with.

I know what you mean. I hate WI during my time of the month. Boo on having a uterus.

Studying at home today. I HAVE to workout. I haven't in days and feel so guilty and stressed! So, hopefully I will go for a run and maybe even do some Wii Active.

So I can't decide if I want to go to WW or not. My time of the month has come and I'm pretty sure the scale won't be as good as it was on Saturday. I'll try to see if there's another time that would work better.

Daily: water, vitamin, fruits/veggies, protein, dairy, oil, tracking, 8 hours, limited sugar/alcohol. 9 for today.

Starting to reread Twilight. Where is my Edward?

Day 70-Postgrad

I totally forgot about eating on plan all week, oops. I'll just add it to my points for the day.

New goals: Workout 4 times. Reach healthy guidelines for eating everyday.

Goal item: 800 points=new makeup

So I went to compare my weight loss last night to how I've done in the past and this was weird but the first time I did WW on this same week I had lost exactly 16.2 pounds just like this time. The time that we did I had lost 13.2 but the next week I dropped 3 pounds and was at 16.2. That makes me feel like I'm really on track with reaching my goal by the date I set.

I'm off to buy some lighter hand weights today. The 5 pounds are just too much to do the cardio stuff with.

Breakfast: Rice krispies w/soy milk and 1 c. peaches-4

Lunch: grilled chicken w/peas-4

Snack: yogurt-1
Pop chips!!!!!-3 (I finally found them. They only had the salt and pepper flavor but they're really good) 6 points for a whole bag. Can't beat it!

Dinner: Baked potato-3
1 c. peas-2
2 veggie burgers-2
Angel food cake-3
22/23
