The best love is the kind that awakens
the soul and makes us reach for more;
that plants a fire in our hearts
and brings peace to our minds ....
That's what you've given me
and that's what I hope to give to you forever.

Sooooo hungry!

Other than attending zero classes this morning, today was a great day! I didn't exercise very much but that is because I have been sooo hungry everyday and I trul find it hard to exercise on an empty stomach. I've ate more food today than I have in a while, and I am still sooo hungry!

I drank all of my water and then some. =) That's good.

I'm definitely stressed about school though, which I guess is the only bad part of my day. I want school to just be over with. I want to have a clicker like Adam Sandler in "Click" but just for these next couple weeks. This semester has been hard, and I realize that I am mostly to blame. The first semester my boyfriend is down at school with me, we only started dating 3 months ago, and I slack on school completely. I hate that. I give props to anyone who can juggle everything. To make it worse, He only has 2 classes and the teachers are jokes. I have four classes and my teachers are all hands on, tons of work, blah blah.

Another thing that has changed is I am working 'full-time' this semester. 'Full time' meaning five days a week and up to 5 hours a day with kids that I babysit. Granted, not a regular job, but still just as tiring nonetheless. I worry about talking to their mom about leaving for the entire summer. Here's the dilemma:
I really only have three weeks that are completely free and for myself over the summer. Because of my summer job and school. I want those weeks to be completely mine in some sense because this semester has been so hard. I know that when those weeks come around, and I'm sitting around like a bum, I'll want to be working. But it would be nice to just relax and not just bounce from one job to another. I've talked to her and she has decided to hire someone else for the summer and she says it is okay, but I just feel horrible.

I think my grades are considerably suffering. =( It bothers me not knowing where I stand in classes, I usually have somewhat of an idea. I know one class is okay. I haven't attended classes for another class because..well I'm crazy and dumb. I have to talk to that teacher.


*breathe* I just have to remember...to breathe. I always thought that I could do more things at once. I feel so overloaded lately...and all I am doing is school, work, family, boyfriend, and friends. It feels like I have sooo many things going on that I can't think straight and I hate that. I feel so overwhelmed that I don't want to do anything...ever and I procrastinate for hours on end...and finish things last minute. I need to learn from this semester, and take it with me to next semester.

Okay....that's a lot out. Blogging I guess does help...but I feel like I have sooo much more to say. It'll come out eventually I guess. =) Have a nice day.

First Blog!

Blog. Haha! Oh..what to blog about! Well I am starting up WW again and I think that having this blog will help with not only WW but other things that are going on in life.

Today is day 2 restarting weight watchers! Yesterday was an okay day! Today...started a little rocky. I was going to have Cheerios for breakfast but when the boyfriend told me we were out of milk...I opted for some nachos! HAHA! Yeah, I don't know where nachos came from. But I did end up eating some nachos..but it was WW cheese and only a few chips. It still took up a chunk of my points that was probably unnecessary. You only live once right?!

That motto definitely gets me into a bit of trouble lately. My credit card bill is pretty disgusting and I just keep racking it up because I want to do things. Boyfriend says the balance on my credit card is giving me a credit score..I wouldn't know since I just got my first credit card. It has also been a problem with my meal choices which is why I am restarting weight watchers. I have been convinced to go out to eat more times in the past couple months than I have in years. It's disgusting. I think one week I ended up going to BWW three times. Yeah..it makes me sick too! But all of that is about to change! I feel sooo much better eating quality food and exercising. My body just feels cleaner.

Speaking of my body feeling clean...Soda has taken over my life, Diet Coke and Coke Zero are HUGE weaknesses. The lack of funds have helped with paying for soda, but still. I just started drinking an adequate amount of water again because I invested in a new water bottle!! I know that seems silly, but I find it hard to drink water out of a glass. Straws and water bottles with built in straws are what motivate me to drink more water. I usually end up drinking five 32oz bottles everyday. On those days, my routine is often interrupted with frequent bathroom trips...typical.

As long as I am just starting out with this blog, I might as well lay out some ground rules (well maybe..THE ground rule since I don't have any other ones):
-My favorite baseball team IS and always will be the Chicago Cubs. I have been to only one game this season and it was in Milwaukee. I am heading on to my second of MANY this Sunday and I couldn't be more excited. I know that they are an emotional rollercoaster ride, but it doesn't bother me. I know that we haven't won a World Series in over a century, but again..I don't care. I love them unconditionally. I can admit when they suck and definitely can take some wise cracks about them. They aren't perfect and I love that. However...Alfonso Soriano is pretty close to perfect. ;-)

Time for work. More later? Possibly. =)
