First Day plus update
Ok so I am starting something new today... one would think that i would start this on a monday or something but by monday i hope to be procrastinating less
So basically i am going to keep track of what i eat, what i study, and if i exercise for the next 28 days. That's how many days I have left to study in Grenada before I am home on christmas break. I'll probably put it behind cuts because I'm sure that not everyone on my list would like to read about this... however, i'm hoping by doing this someone out there will say "hey you didn't update today" and help keep my on track. So i'll start today and then I'll do a quick update from things that I talked about previously
Journalling So today was a bad day... it started out good with eggs, turkey bacon and spinach from the night before but then at school i had ritz cheesy bits and a diet mt. dew... lunch was oatmeal cookies that i made with splenda and wheat flour which isn't exactly bad but i think i only had like 3 and that was it... tonight started out good with south beach kelbasa, onions, mushrooms, and green beans but then my roommate made fries and had bread so it was out the window... and later we are having Mrs. Smith's Boston Creme Pie SO now the plan is that by Monday (but hopefully before) we will have gotten rid of all the bad things and will be back on track. We are also going to start exercising on monday but tomorrow i might do some yoga to get myself back into focus. I am way out of focus on my work. I have to do all of GI for physio and like 7 lectures of neuro and then start studying for parasit because the final is in two weeks. This weekend i have ACLS which i am excited about but i better get some work done tomorrow or else I'm going to hate myself even more. I didn't do any exercise today but i did start some GI that i hope to get a little bit more done before my brain shuts off at 10AST (9EST). gotta get on the face washing wagon again too... though i am not allowed to pluck my eyebrows
Ok so that done. Now the next cut will be updates from previous live journal updates that were left unsaid
So i had the lasix surgery and it is great... i don't even remember what it was like to wear glasses anymore. to wake up in the morning and be immediately able to see the clock or the TV or my phone or just the weather is great. I didn't get use them much to ride the ambulance (still healing) but i know it was better then having my glasses slide off my face. I love wearing sunglasses but I have sunglass tan. I asked for Oakley's for christmas so we'll see what happens.
This term i am taking the second half of second term plus taking immuno again. I got an A on the midterm and still got a C in the class because the professor screwed us and made the final like 1000x's harder than the previous final and on like nothing we learned after midterm which was always said to be the only thing we would be tested on. So whatever it doesn't matter anymore because i passed the class and I didn't need to make up deficit points. So the search for my first A in medical school continues. I have two chances left this term. I could get an parasitology because really it's not that hard of course but i need to get on the ball (see above). Living and studying with my roommate pepe has really helped my grades this term. I got two solid B's on the midterms in Neuro and Physio and that is the first time I've had to keep a B instead of doing so well on the final to get a B. So I have to do well on the Neuro final to get a B and I can't mathmatically get an A without a SUPER curve and i doubt that will happen. I can do very well on the Physio and get an A. That would be so awesome but I can only get 6 questions wrong. It's doable but I don't know if it is that practical. But definately a B. So I'm hoping to make it out of basic sciences with mostly B's for the rest of the time I am in basic sciences (this time next year will be 28 days left).
Judi and I are still together. She was just here for a week and it was amazing. I can't wait to be home so i can see her every day. I can't wait to start building a life with her.
So South Beach. To date I have lost approximately 40 lbs. This is approximate because i've changed scales and units (kgs in GND lbs in USA) so I'll know for sure when i get home but my goal is to lose another 10 lbs before i get home (if i eat better than above and exercise this should not be a problem) i've gone down one pants size and one shirt size. I don't expect that will change again anytime soon. But If i could get another 40 done next term (so basically 90 in a year) i would be happy. I think i can do it. Then just 30 more to go for goal weight.
Ok so i think that's it. If anyone has any questions (cause i know you spend all of you time thinking about what i am doing) feel free to ask. I hope i keep up with this and someone who is reading it stays on my case about it.
Better get back to work or maybe just start again tomorrow...
