Lent and stuff...

So, Lent is going pretty well. Except for today. I procrastinated getting out of bed this morning and completely slept through my classes. I still need a little more work on the whole soda thing...what can I say? I'm a work in progress.

I went to see Dr. Springer yesterday for my semi-annual diabetes check. I've always known that I'm a good weight maintainer and my appointment only confirmed that. So I need to get back on the exercise bandwagon and lose some more. I'd like to lose at least 80 lbs by the end of the summer. I think that'd be the ideal. I've sort of started my new "diet" today. I had cashews and yogurt this morning for breakfast. I just need to catch up on my water consumption and take my prenatal vitamin. Oh yeah...I'm taking prenatal vitamins. Mostly to make my hair grow a bit thicker. When I asked Dr. Springer if it was okay that I was taking them she said that the other medication I'm taking for my diabetes kind of depletes my B12 levels so it's a good thing that I'm taking them.

I also got my H1N1 vaccine yesterday at my appointment. When I woke up this morning, it felt like someone punched me nice and hard in the arm. It hurts. I also got 2 vials of blood drawn to check my A1c levels as well as bunch of things to see if the medication I'm taking is helping me fight the diabetes. I have a nice bruise forming where they stuck me. It still hurts. I also had to pee in a cup to check my liver and kidney functions. That part always makes me gag for some reason. I just think it's gross.

Oh! I do have some exciting news (not that peeing in a cup isn't exciting enough). One of my best friends moved back home on Wednesday from Pennsylvania! I'm excited to have her home and so much closer.

Other than that, I've been flying under the radar. Not a lot has been happening. Although, I am so excited for Spring to arrive. I am so done with the cold and wet. It's infinitely depressing to be cold and wet all the time.

Anyhow, I'm gonna go outside and enjoy the sun while it's still out.

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

Book Report

So, remember when I told you guys that I was going to start reading autobiographies and biographies and the like? Well, I FINALLY finished this book. I had to renew it because I made the mistake of getting two Harlan Coben books and well, he's one of my most favorite mystery/suspense author's EVER. The Harlan Coben books were of course read in less than a week. I don't know how I did my homework. Good thing a lot of it is online and not due for a while...but still. I need to stop this habit of reading books when I should be doing my homework. Anyhow, The Road to Woodstock was a pretty good read. Lots of history. I don't know if anyone who reads my blog is really into Jimmy Hendrix or anyone from that era, but it was really cool to get an insiders perspective on what went on. The organizing of Woodstock was a pretty big undertaking but in the end, the organizers just let everyone in regardless of if they had purchased a ticket or not. Did you know that? The organizers of...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...
