Wednesday
I can't believe it's almost November.

I skipped class because of work for the past two days. I'm really having a hard time dragging myself to class these days or really involving myself in school...at all...lately. Not a good sign. It's like the worst case of senioritis ever. I think my problem is that I'm not into school enough at this point to sacrifice 3 nights a week to listening to someone talk at me for 3 hours. I'm just not. I feel like I'm just going through the motions, and that's not something I really do well.

I can't decide whether I should be worried about that or not.

More on that later. I just can't think about it now.

Food's been good lately. I just need a few more good days I think.

Today:
Bfast: hard boiled egg
Lunch: McDonald's southwest salad with grilled chicken and no dressing. I picked out all the Cheetos or whatever they put on it. Seriously, who wants chips on a salad??? I ordered the salad at a drive through, and I picked out all the chicken on the ride home. There were like four little pieces. I put on a thin slice (chopped up) of pot roast on it when I got home for more protein because I've really been craving protein lately.
Snack: low fat string cheese
Bvg: 2 shots Pom
Dinner: ??????

I think I'm going to make a soup so we can have it for dinner tomorrow and for lunch on Friday. The soup thing is seriously working for me lately.

I worked out sort of this morning. I did a zillion standing side leg kicks, plies, and weighted squats, and I did a ton of sit ups on the ball, and I did 3x12 bench press on the ball w/ 2 20lbs dumb bells, and I did the same with bent rows..basically trying to hit my major muscle groups and rev up my metabolism. I'm also going to see if I can get D to go on a long walk tonight w/ me and Mugs...

I also brought my toning band in to work, and while I'm at my desk, I do arm exercises intermittently thoughout the day-mostly biceps, shoulders, and triceps, but I've also found that if I wrap the band around my thighs/knees twice really tightly and tie it, then I can get a pretty effective exercise by pushing out against the band. Plus, I think it's less disruptive than the bike, which by the way does work. I have found that it's all about being in the right chair. The angle isn't right if I'm sitting on the couch...if I sit there, it moves, but if I sit in a regulr chair, it doesn't, so I guess I'll keep it.

Drugstore.com continues to ruin my life. I ordered something in September. It got returned to sender, which I realized after I tracked it because it never came. I asked them to resend it, but then...after weeks of not recieving it, I looked into and found that the package had been lost. Now, I got them to resend it AGAIN. They sent it with 2 day shipping like a week ago. Today, I got home and found a package slip on my door saying it requires an in person signature for delivery and that they will be here sometime between 10am and 5pm tomorrow. WTF? I have to take a day off from work to receive a package??!?!? I HATE THEM. I wish I could find some of this stuff around here so that I wouldn't have to order from that GodAwful company. GAH!

I decided to not go to work today because...I don't have to, and because yesterday and the day before were crazy at work, and I got in a few extra hours, so today won't really cost me anything. *shrugs* Plus, I really need a solid chunk of time to work on my costume because the party is on Saturday.*Twitches* I told these chicks at work about my costume, and they were totally bitchy, snide, and demoralizing.. Why are women so catty and rude? Ugh.

And now...I'm going to work on my costume. It's really crunch time!

Wish me luck! I hope this works.
