the scale read 182.4. this means i lost only about 4 pounds in the second week. not exactly happy, but that's still 9 pounds total i've lost while being here. in the real world, anyone would be happy about that.
breakfast was a whole wheat waffle, scrambled eggs, and sausage. the waffle is always pretty good. i guess i'm going to start cutting back on food and pressing forth on working out. i need to take advantage of this situation i've been given.
after breakfast, i went to go see friends with benefits with kateri and erica. it was okay, it was pretty cheesy. but some parts were good and at the end i wished i had a boyfriend for a good ten minutes, realized that sexual encounters are always way more awkward than the movies, and nothing would ever happen to me the way it did to mila kunis and justin timberlake. so i guess that means it met all of the standards of a romantic comedy. well done.
we stopped at walgreens and i got a few nail polishes: gold shatter, lime green shatter, a teal color, and a vibrant purple.
we get a bagged lunch on sundays and today it was peanut butter and jelly, string cheese, a few carrots, and an orange. totally satisfying. i ate lunch in the lounge of the new building ("the court") with annie while watching an episode of family guy.
i took a nap for about 2.5 hours until it was time for dinner. the people this week seem to be way more friendly than those that were here last week and there's 2 guys that look to be about my age. dinner was a tamale and "chocolate pie" which is the same dessert i had the first night i was here.
the redundancy is getting to me a bit and i found myself in a bad place today. i'm going to try and push the negativity out of my brain. hopefully this week will go by just as quickly as last week and will show me better results. i'm going to leave food on my plate this week, and go to all morning cardio classes. i have 2 meetings with jen, the life coach, this week. she's not here my last week so i'm going to get it in now, while i can.
i've been playing guitar a lot and just trying to get better. also, here's a picture of my little drawstring bag if anyone was interested (i'm not in the picture, don't worry. that will be a surprise!).
and here is a picture of my friends in my room at fitness ridge:
i'd post pictures from the hikes but i can't because i don't have my cable for my camera.

ReplyDeletegoing back and reading most of your posts again!
ReplyDeletei know you are definitely in a much different and more intense setting but i completely understand the whole redundancy problem and how it really affects you. at work sometimes i want to run away and i always wish that things would change a bit. what i do is just realize that even though there have been days like it, that day is still its own. like, even if you get sick of doing the same things over and over, just take each day as its own, new day.
<3
you're so sweet col! making my day. it's pretty rough but you're exactly right. that's what they preach here. one class at a time!
