The good news is that ever since I got Daffy (which has now been 16 days) I have lost a total of about 7-8 lbs! Yay! Well, I need to keep that up. I think the reason is b/c for that first week I was chasing after her A LOT, and I didn't realize most of the time that I hadn't eaten, and when I did eat I ate less. Now that I keep her in her exercise pen most of the day/night due to her puppy behaviors, I am having to chase her less, but I have been walking fast (this time not jogging or running) on my treadmill, plus I did the yard work (it's a workout), I've increased my intake of filtered water & no-calorie lemonade & tea....so I guess all of that has helped some. I did give in & have some sodas on occasion, but in comparison to what I was drinking (even diet sodas), my intake in the last month has gone down considerably. I haven't put diet soda on my grocery list either. Instead I've been opting for the Sam's brand no-calorie/sugar-free drinks (lemonade, peach tea, fruit punch, raspberry) b/c unlike Crystal Light, the Sam's brand at Wally World has no sodium. I don't like that it's still sweetened w/ man-made sweetners, but it's better than taking in the extra sodium & it actually tastes better (to me anyway) than C.Light. I hope I can keep this up. I might gain some back (unless I do triple the workout) this weekend b/c my mom is making me a fruit pizza tomorrow (I'm gonna stop by my parents' house after I go to the school where I'll be doing my student teaching).
I have class tonight from 6pm-8:40pm & it's a required course in special education which I don't know much about. From looking at her online syllabus from the fall term last year (which I'm sure will be almost exactly the same as this semester's syllabus) I am in for some hard work. I also have a big paper & presentation to do (the paper has to be atleast 10pgs & the presentation 10-12 min's). And it looks like I'll be reading A LOT for this class (from the thick text to online articles to journal articles). I am not ready to go back!!! LOL Like I've said in the past, everything should be free and everyone should perform free services b/c we all would be working for the joy of helping others and not have to worry about money, etc. We could go to school at our convenience to learn knowledge, or just be taught on the job...Could you imagine a world like that? No one would have a reason to steal b/c things are free...No one argues over money b/c there's no need....What a wishful thinking type of mind I have!
