I dont really have any good news to post. Nothing in the weight loss department at least. Mostly I've been consumed with school. I know that sounds lame, but I was only able to workout twice last week. Gah! I really just need to get it done today, even though I feel like death!
Not feeling bad like death, mainly just tired. I went home to see my husband this weekend. Its been almost a month! So it was wonderful to see him again, but I can say we really didnt eat that well. Not horrible, but not great. Except for the two times I had ice cream. I just feel like I weight 500 million pounds. I'm scared to put my blue jeans on... I've been in stretchy pants all weekend. Sad... yeah I know. Every time I get a routine going, something throws me off. I know this isnt easy, but hey, its not easy!
I only have 18 more days of school left. Thats it, too bad I'm so dang busy! I will try to update more often this week. I'm hoping to get home today and be able to work out. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Thankfully I have my big paper mostly finished, it needs to be reworded in some places and it needs a conclusion and the bibliography (so maybe not THAT finished!). But I've done the hard parts, now just to finish it off. I'm off for now!

Dear Rachel
This week has been so busy, and time has just flown by. I know its only Thursday but it feels like its been such a long time!
I'm just happy that tomorrow is Friday. The only problem is that at 8:00 I have to turn in the rough draft of my paper! I'm not that worried, I have about a third of it done and two more weeks to finish. I'm almost positive that I can get it done next week.
I have noticed that going back to eating healthy (even with frequent slip ups) that I have a lot more energy and stamina through the day. I generally eat the same thing all week, which is boring as hell, but easy on the food budget. Right now I'm on a salad kick. Mainly just a taco salad, but its still good! Maybe next week I'll try another salad out. First they are easy, and now that my stomach is better, they fill me up longer. I'm not getting more sleep, even though I have been trying to get into bed before 12. I have actually been drinking tea in the mornings because I have been dragging so much and instead of letting depression get to me and make me want to nap all day I've just been drowning it in a cup of caffein in the morning. Today I was so tired that I had a cup of coffee and two cups of tea!
I also had longer workouts this week. Today is my rest day, and every time I think about skipping the rest day and going ahead and doing the workout anyway I remind myself that this is how I get burnt out. Going balls to the wall with no break, this is a marathon and I have to pace myself to get to the end. I havent lost any weight this week. I wasnt very good over the weekend (and this one doesnt seem like its going to be much better) but I'm going to try my hardest to be as healthy as I can no matter how busy I get. Its funny I can eat healthy during the week, but when I dont have much structure to my day I panic and eat things that arent good for me.
I know many bloggers out there are talking about the Boston Marathon bombing and taking a moment to pause for the runners, and if you're into praying to say a prayer for all of those effected by that tragedy. I didnt know it happened until my Facebook exploded with the news that night. And now the Waco Texas explosion. Please keep everyone involved in these things in your thoughts and if you feel so inclined- prayers. I would also like to say, and my mom reminded me of this, that for all the bad things that are happening, there are good things too. I told her that if I was ever in an emergency like that I hope I would have the wherewithal to be as brave as the people who jumped those barriers at the marathon to help the wounded. Thank you to all those wonderful and brave people who fought their fear and helped-especially not knowing if they were putting themselves in danger.
I saw this on Facebook today and thought I would share it with you.

Living in a Rain Forest
I have been doing well this week. Monday, I wasnt able to workout, but I did mostly eat right! Yesterday was much better, I was able to work out, and a get a lot of stuff around the house done. Its amazing to me when you have a little kitchen and you cook one meal how you can trash the kitchen in less than half an hour. So I cleaned that up, and did dishes and tidied up my room and somewhere in all that I was able to watch a little bit of Buffy and workout. I did the Fire 45 TurboFire and it was good! I felt really pumped afterwards.
My problem lately is that I'm not drinking enough water. I really have to push myself to do it, and I love water, I can drink tons of it. But its hard to drink a lot of water and be in class, because you have to pee! Nothing is worse than having a 4 hour class and drinking a ton of water before. I got on the scale this morning, and I was up, mainly because I'm bloated. I can tell, I think its almost time for MMV, which on top of the taco meat I made yesterday is probably making it pretty bad right now. I made the taco meat with ground beef and I just dont think that I can use beef anymore, its a ton more calories and it makes me so bloated! Bleh!
This morning I tried on a pair of capris that were a size down from where I am now... needless to say I have a LOT of work left to do. Thats only one size! But I know I can do this. I brought this up, not because of the size of the pants, but because I hate wearing anything but jeans. I dont like to show off my body. I dont like shorts, I feel like I have huge calves and just dont want anyone to see them, capris are better, but not as good and cool as shorts. Right now, I need the shorts because its not spring anymore here in Louisiana... its the beginning of Rain Forest Season, you walk outside and you're smacked in the face with a wave of humidity. I straighten my hair and by the time I walk to work, its partly curly again. Not like crazy normal curls, but the straight is being challenged!

Lunch
Today I had a uniquely interesting lunch. I'm not gunna lie, for the most part, I usually end up going home for lunch. I dont get out of the two buildings I know my way around in, the first floor where I work (cubbie where I work, bathroom, water fountains and the way out!) and the fine arts building. I know the building with our studios, but thats not really considered a building. So I dont eat on campus really, unless its at McAlisters, which I always take back to the fine arts building.
Today, I had parked really far away, and I knew by the time that I walked to the car, drove home and ate I would have to park super far away again and I would be late. I decided to just eat on campus, but I really didnt want Mcalisters again because its expensive! So I it was 12 and I was just going to walk around and try to find the student union (yeah I've been here almost a year and I dont know where that is... sad) and I decided to just follow a bunch of guys, because I figured they would lead me towards food. And I was correct! I wound my way through a building and viola! I found the food court. I got a taco salad (which was really good and very filling by the way!) and found a place to sit outside on a picnic table under the shade.
Not too long into my salad, some girl came up and sat by me and introduced herself as Jaylo or maybe it was Jen-o or something. I'm horrible with names! Anyway it was nice to talk to someone and we sat there and munched on our salads and talked about school and classes. Then the table behind us cleared and another guy sat by himself and we invited him over to sit with us. It was cool, I forget how college is sometimes. Mainly because this wasnt my experience the first time around, and most of the time I have my head shoved so far up whatever project I'm working on, that I cant see anything but what I have to do to get by.
Eventually another girl I knew from the art department came up, who knew the Jay-girl and we started talking about art. Jay-girl is a art education major. It was cool, and as I walked back to work it made me realized why I love college so much, and why it rocks. It made me want to stay! Who wants to leave when you can teach here too?
This weekend was so dang busy! I told on friend Joli that I would come and help her set up for her show. Saturday I went up there and helped her put beetles into the ceiling and walls. I was up there for 5-6 hours and finally went home around 7. On Sunday, I worked in the building and helped her a little more, mainly just moral support as I sewed pillows.
I have a project due tomorrow (along with a quiz and a test) and I made a bunch of pillows for it, I had made 56 for my chair, which goes with the project, and I tested it out on a spare recliner at my house, because the real recliner I'm using was in my studio, 56 just didnt seem like enough pillows! So I ended up make 101 (really 100, because I found a pillow case on the floor of my house I guess I dropped when I was leaving) and I had to sew them all yesterday and do the image transfers before I could stuff them and sew them shut. But I finally got that finished!
This week is going to be crazy, besides all the things I have due tomorrow, Friday I have a rough draft and outline due for my first year grad paper, and my family is coming down this weekend to see the quilt in the gallery in Monroe! My house is a wreck. A huge wreck, so I have to clean. I figure if I can clean one room a day for this week, then I'll be able to get everything done before they get here on Friday night. Gaaah! Its only Monday! Haha!

Frozen treats!
Okay you are going to laugh, after bitching about my stomach hurting for the past few months I finally broke down and went to the doctor. Yes you read that right, I went to the doctor. He thinks the problem is an ulcer. Surprise surprise! I have to say that I like this guy, he is a cool doctor. My other doctor in Benton always seems so distracted, like she cant wait to move on to the next patient. No bedside manner. This guy was good, he asked my about what might be stressing me out, and we talked about it, he seemed genuinely concerned that I had so many things to be stressed out about. And he gave me medicine for my stomach. He said that if its not better by Monday, that I will have to come back in to have blood drawn to see if the stomach acid is messing with my body.
I had this brilliant idea today, because I have just flat out decided that I cant keep anything sweet in the house without inhaling it. Sweets and any type of Doritos or chips. I ALWAYS find myself binging on them, even if I put them out of site. So back to my brilliant idea- which was to make a healthy treat- popsicles! Homemade ones! I bought three pounds of Louisiana strawberries from the grocery store today (and let me tell you the difference in the taste with these and the ones from Mexico is HUGE!) and I found some popsicle holder things at Walmart and proceeded to make some! I checked on them after a couple of hours, which means I fished one up out of the container- but it wasnt ready (big surprise there!) so I just ate it with the butter knife I used to get it out. It was good! I made some with greek yogurt for more of a creamy one and another kind with just juice, which was the kind I checked on, I think that they will be more icy than anything. When I get one out that doesnt look like mush, I'll add a picture to this post!
I'm so glad yesterday was a rest day because I was terribly sore! I was sore all day, and still a little today. But I did eventually get around to working out this afternoon. And I have to say that I felt awesome. It's been a long time since I have felt so energetic after working out. I just want to go and do it again! I was even bouncing around and stuff before I started scaring the dog! I dont know if its getting more sleep, or exercising or eating healthy, but something in this mix is making me feel physically better. Speaking of that- I am so glad I started to workout again this week. I think another few days and my back would have been bad again. But so far, it seems fine!
I've been working on my newest project for class lately, which involves image transfers, and it uses an all natural household cleaner with toner printed pictures. I havent done anything with color yet, but I've done black and white, and the image does better when it has a lot of contrast, and its not just a bunch of one thing, like chips, or fries.

5:00 AM
I have decided that getting up before 6:30 is torture for me. Yes you read that right. I only had a 25 minute workout this morning, but I was going to get up an hour early. I feel asleep when I wanted to (I went to bed early at 12:15!) but I just didnt sleep well. I felt like I tossed and turned all night. The good think about working out is that I'll be able to sleep better. Yet another reason to exercise! Anyhow, I couldnt make myself get out of bed at 5:30, so I reset the alarm for 6:30 and went back to bed. I will have time tonight to workout, I just like to get it out of the way in the mornings.
I guess it was a good thing that I did, because my flat iron broke this morning (yes if you read that you realized that I didnt wash my hair this morning, or take a shower, dont judge! Most days I feel lucky to get up in time for a shower. I know my other grad friends feel the same way, because they make comments about it all the time...) and I would have been able to blow dry it, but not straighten it. For the most part I can make is straight when I blow dry, but its not really straight at the roots! Its hard to kill the curls close to my head! So I guess I'm going to just buy a better (see more expensive) straightener so that my next one doesnt go out in another 6 months. I would rather buy a better one, and have it last years, than to have one that goes out two times a year. I know my mom is reading this and saying two things: "I had to straighten my hair with an iron! I used to put my hair on the ironing board and try to make it straight" OR "I cant believe that you used a straighter enough to kill it."
Yesterday I had a really good dinner of steamed veggies, carrots and broccoli. I think I've said before that I just cook a bunch and put them in little baggies to eat during the week. I also had salmon and half a sweet potato. It was surprisingly filling and I really enjoyed the salmon. I just got a bunch of frozen 4 oz filets and cooked up two, one for last night and one for Thursday night, I'm going to put it in a tortilla with some cream cheese and make one of those roll up things. It'll be easy to take with me to work.
I had cooked some chicken tortilla soup in the crockpot Monday night/ Tuesday morning so it would be ready for lunch on Tuesday. I got up yesterday morning (I was going to talk about this yesterday but my post was super long) and it didnt taste right, because I did it from someone else's recipe and I had to change some things, like I just threw the chicken in there to let it cook rather than cooking it first and then putting it in and left out some spices that I would normally use for Mexican-esque food. So I added the spices and let it cook, but by the time I was ready for lunch, which I ended up eating in a coffee cup on my way to school, it still didnt taste right. I have a regular standby tomato and chicken tortilla soup, that I absolutely love that I would like to try to turn into a crockpot recipe. Its amazingly good, I just wonder if it would transfer well to crockpot mode, especially because everything in it is pureed (except for the chicken and tortilla strips!).
I'm kinda surprised that I have this much to blog about because I updated yesterday. I guess I just need to blog to make up for all the lost time. I am happy to workout tonight. I just need to make sure to keep up with it every day!

I feel pretty
So I really dont feel pretty. I'm so sorry that I havent been blogging lately. I guess we all have times when life catches up to us, and it is overwhelming. Overwhelming- pretty much sums up the past few weeks. I havent regularly worked out in weeks, and I havent been eating well at all. I know for a fact that I've been a very bad girl. I dont feel pretty at all. I feel like my pants are getting tight. I feel tired and kinda depressed.
My stomach is still kinda weird, but I'm just so tired of dealing with this. It hurts sometimes, but not like it did, which makes me think that maybe it was partly stress. My cure for it is saltine crackers and tums. I dont know if it really helping all that much, but it does feel some what better.
I dont even know where to start to sum up the past few weeks, they have all been a blur and I'm just glad that they are over. Most of the time I feel like I'm barely keeping my head above water when it comes to school. The thing I remember the most is that my sink backed up again. Yeah, you read that right. This time though the sewage contained poop. Needless to say it was the most disgusting thing I have ever had to clean out of a kitchen sink. I have Cloroxed it to death. The plumbers went under the house and said that some pipe line isnt hooked up down there, but that they werent the normal plumbers and that they couldnt do anything because I dont own the house. Two weeks later I'm STILL trying to get the landlords to get this damn thing fixed. I'm terrified that anything I do, like dishes, laundry, flushing the toilet or showering will cause it to back up again. If that happens I'm going to flip my lid and just go insane I think. I REFUSE to clean that shit (literally) up again.
I know now why I'm going to have to keep working out for the rest of my life. It was very apparent to me when I worked out for the first time in weeks today. My back- if I don't work out its just going to hurt forever. I think I was really close to having it mess up again. Thank goodness that I decided to get my ass in gear and workout. I am doing Turbo Fire. I dont have time to do the Zumba classes, as much as I want to. Most of the time I feel lucky if I can even do something in my own house. I know I can do the workouts for TF and when I follow the schedule I have had the most consistent results with it. I want to try to run someday, but I dont know if thats in the cards for me right now. Maybe I can work on it over the summer. It might be my goal to do a training program over the summer. I know I can do TF.
I'm not going to lie, it was hard, especially because I over slept by an hour and it put a lot of pressure on my morning to make sure that I got everything done. I havent been eating well at all lately, I have felt no motivation to cook at all. Maybe this is part of being depressed. I havent felt like this in a while. I know everyone has bouts of depression every person has different reasons. Mine usually happens in the spring, its usually school related. Its not every year or anything, but sometimes it happens. I have no motivation to do anything, all I want to do is sleep, and I dont eat right. I know a lot of it comes from just being overwhelmed. I also know that this can be managed with healthy eating, exercising and a lot of time management. Right now, I swear I could sleep all afternoon.
Speaking of sleeping all afternoon, I'll leave you with something amusing because this hasnt exactly been a super uplifting update. So I'm working on the outline/rough draft of my first year grad seminar paper and I needed another book because one of my books was shipped to my mom's house, which doesnt do me any good three hours away! I went to the library and got the book I needed and a couple more that might have something in them that I can use, and I sat down to read it, and then this girl comes up to a table with a friend, and they start chatting. So I move my stuff out of the archives to the bottom floor because there are librarians there and people arent loud downstairs. I sit down and crack open my book, and I keep getting distracted. Every time I look at my book my eyes start to get heavy and I start to get sleepy. So I moved outside into the sunshine and the stiff breeze so that maybe I wouldn't fall asleep again. And it worked!

Every time I look at my book my eyes start to get heavy and I start to get sleepy. So I moved outside into the sunshine and the stiff breeze so that maybe I wouldn't fall asleep again. And it worked!
