Avoiding Physics at ALL costs!!

It's official physics and I aren't friends, I mean we never have been previously but today definitely reassured me that this class may indeed kill me. The teacher gave us a problem and I looked at it and had no idea where to start.  Which means you probably won't see another blog until I am done with my test, although I am royally avoiding it now, I am going home this weekend so I am going to have to start tonight so can I make up for lost time this weekend.   On a happy note I AM IN TO UMNC PHARMACY SCHOOL!!!! This means I only have to pass physics, not that I will accept a C, but at this rate I am only hoping for a B.

It is the third week of classes and I have made the realization that this semester is like no other semester here at Wayne for me.  Not in a bad way, just a I am going to have to stop fighting change kind of way. Everyday I go at least 8am to 5pm. On days like today I go 8am to 1am. I mean I have had one half an hour break today and I have also talked to Jordan but I am so ready for bed and that can't happen for 2 hours and 35 minutes, that is with no problems. Of course its toga night at the TKE house so that is asking for a lot.  

With getting into pharmacy school wedding plans are slowly falling into place.  I will be in Omaha next year which means, worse case scenario Jordan can't find a job in Omaha and we move to Ashland or Gretna and both commute everyday.  I am really hoping he can find a job in Omaha though.  I feel like we have made some decisions since the last time I blogged but I'm not really sure. We have our invitations picked out, we found a weekend to do a retreat, and scrap-booking paper is on sale this week so I can pick some up to continue to work on programs. I am sure there is more but I am so sleepy I can't think straight so I will let you know later when I think of it.  One more thing...I think we have decided on our song for our first dance maybe. Here is the link to youtube, so you should listen to it and let me know.  
 
One last thing to talk about, and it is the work out front.  Today was a very good day for working out.  I did my mile as fast as I ever had and didn't have super sore muscles that stopped me from doing full out sprints.  So I would say we are making a break through. Monday was weigh day and I am down 3 pounds from the day we started. This is small, but with only adding in working out and trying not to over eat I think it's pretty good.  I think the next step is counting calories, but I need another week to mentally prepare for that one.  I think Monday maybe the day for that.

A very productive snow day!

I have been trying to decide what I want to say today ever since my post last night.  Today has been a very good day, I not only got to sleep in I was also very productive.  I went to bed early last night (I blame my workout for wearing me out), and slept in till 9 ish today.  This will have to be the end of this since I have 8 o'clock class on Tuesday and Thursday.  My goal is to get up at 8am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday so it's not so rough getting out of bed on the other two days. This starts tomorrow since we will officially start classes (as long as my teacher can make it from Norfolk (pronounced Norfork :) ) cross your fingers for no, although I wouldn't mind some homework to keep me busy (you won't ever hear me say that again)). 

My productiveness started at about 1pm.  After getting up I did the mail, then headed to the student center for lunch with Kassandra, Kelsey, and Alesha.  We then trudged  to Neihardt where we hung out in Kassandra's room until work out time (lot's of secret girl talk occurred...okay not really).  I would say day 2 of the wedding work out plan went very well, we did everything we planned on doing plus some.  I was very proud of us, but I was not so happy after resting for about an hour when my legs almost gave out when I tried to stand up. I am almost nervous to get out of bed in the morning.  I just keep telling myself that it will all be worth it in the end.  It really does help to have extremely supportive friends and family.

Next was our staff meeting, these are usually full of laughter and crazy times. Today followed that suit. We found out the we may not be able to do our camping trip, which we refuse to let happen, we will do whatever we have to.  We also did programming for the month of January, while waiting for the calender I also planned my socials for the rest of the semester pretty much, which is really really nice to have done. After dinner it was time for dinner as a staff, we have decided we want to get some bonding in every week, I am really looking forward to these as a way to stay up to date with everyone, I feel like we don't get to hang out much once the semester starts.  

After dinner I came back to my room to watch biggest loser. I find it a good motivation, if these people can make it through a work out with Bob and Jillian, I can make it through my workout.  I roved at 8 and had to chip away some ice to get one of the doors to close, very frustrating when you really want to get back to one of your tv shows.  Then I headed out to the desk at a quarter till to begin my two hour shift.  As I am sitting here I realized I forgot to count the money and put it away at ten (shhh don't tell).  I am very proud of my productiveness at the desk.  I have done a little research and emailed my advisor, caught up on Glamour's wedding blogs, got 5 last save the dates ready to send out, and made 4 program bases.  Only 196 to go :( Now just to wait until supplies go on sale.  I am going to finish my night watching another Harry Potter movie, I am on number 3 now, and possibly work on friends late Christmas presents. 
Out for the the night! Hopefully see you tomorrow!

Day One

After seeing a friend start a blog about her weight loss journey this year I was inspired to start a blog of my own. I have always thought it would be fun write a blog but never gave the idea a chance. After having two snow days at school I have convinced myself that I have time to start this. If I get behind or don't post for a while don't be surprised, I am a busy person.  

Today is day one in my workout journey. I have decided that I am not calling this my wedding diet but my wedding work out plan.  I know that I have weight to lose but I feel like I will be most motivated and most successful if I start with getting in shape first instead of trying to jump into a diet and a workout routine.  I have until July 22nd, 2011 to get back into shape, I want to get back into shape like I was coming out of high school, but my biggest motivation is my wedding. I want to look beautiful in my wedding dress and to do that I need to get back into shape. My wedding dress fits but I know it could fit better and don't want to feel self conscious when I know I will have other things to worry out.

The main reason for starting my blog is to keep you updated on where I am with my work out plan and of course also with my wedding planning, but I also plan on keeping myself motivated with my blog.  This first post is short but I will be back soon. No classes tomorrow means that I can beat the rush to the gym! Wish me luck, and pray that I still have Kassandra as a friend at the end of our work out :)
