So I gained 1lb. this week. Everyone in the house (including me) has been sick and therefore, I was slacking on the diet a bit this week...either eating too much, or not eating at all and I completely skipped my water and vitamins ALL week. I've been so exhausted and nervous about school starting up again too. I can't believe I'm going to be writing a THESIS and applying to grad schools. It sounds intimidating, but I guess I'm more excited and good-nervous than anything...I should just stop doubting myself. But for some reason, I feel like it's only going to get worse...Usually when I'm in class, etc. I eat less because I'm really busy...but since I'm so nervous, I'm scared I might actually start eating more...I hope I don't do the latter. blah. I'm feeling a bit down today, can you tell? Actually, it's been like this all week...I'm SO tired. and I'm terrified that I won't be accepted into a single grad school. I think I can sell myself to them in person in an interview...and I look really good on paper, but my GRE didn't go so well. I never was so hot at standardized tests, but I did worse on the GRE than I did on the SATs...and well, it makes me feel like a big piece of poop. :( I have all of these people who "know" people at a few schools and they say they're going to try to get me in, but what if they call those people and they say, "Oh. Meredith? We saw her application. Even with you supporting her, there's no way we're accepting her. Sorry." Because 1)How horrible is that for me? and 2)How horrible is that for the person who had faith in me...I mean, they might feel like they're stupid to have backed me when they never should have supported me at all.............. WOW...*cries* Sometimes I wish I had a close girl friend who didnt go to my school...because everyone in my school is SO competitive and will stab you in the back any chance they get...if they sense fear, you're dead meat. So, I just keep this all in and stress out on my mom or Jonathan....Is this what going to good schools is like everywhere? If I get in any of my dream grad schools, am I destined to have this continue? Because it would be pretty funny if I'm actually fighting to have this continue...lol blah. I can't wait til I get my PhD, I'm done with school, I get a good job, and I can just LIVE and not have to fight and stress for EVERYTHING that I achieve. I want stability. Financial and educational stability. !!!!
In other news, I totally pulled my right hamstring...don't ask me how because it started hurting on Wednesday, which was my back/shoulders/arms day...wtf? lol...It feels better when I get on the treadmill, but after I sit for an extended period of time I have to stretch it out to get it to stop stinging. It actually just feels like I have some lactic acid build up, so maybe I just stretched it really well? uh...during my back/shoulders/arms day? lol I dunno, we'll see how it goes.
It's kind of scary how many inches I'm losing (I'll officially measure myself in 2 weeks, September 1)...But yeah, everything is looser on me. I need new underwear because they're falling down below my butt cheeks underneath my clothes and there's really no proper way to fix that when you're out in public haha... I'm getting these barely noticeable, teeny, white stretch marks in the strangest places on my legs (right above my knee, on the sides of my knee). I tried to point them out to Jonathan, but he just looked at me like I was crazy because he couldn't see them...but I'm telling you! They're there! I was sitting there peeing and I noticed them on my legs! I'm not too worried because they're pretty much invisible, and hey, I'll take skinny, strong with stretch marks any day before fat, lazy with no stretch marks! lol...
I'm tired. Go me for journaling all of my food for the past few days though! I'm gonna go take a bath I think. Oh, I think today was my last day weighing in at meetings since next week I have to be on campus for a few things (and next week is my official last week there)...So, I will now be going either by the scale at the gym...or my home scale...I dunno...should I go by my clothed self with heavy shoes on or my naked in the bathroom self? I used to like waking up in the morning and weighing myself naked in my own home, but I also kind of like the idea of weighing myself at the gym...I can bring a little chart and write my weight down every week...maybe I can even hang it on the wall...hmm...that would be pretty inspirational, huh? Oh well, I'll figure it out by next week and let you guys know what I chose!
