To End the Stagnation

An Update........
Okay, so it's been nuts since school has resumed and my work schedule blows. I have 1 day off every 7, which isn't really a day off at all considering all of the housework and other sundry chores I have to accomplish in that single day. Aubreigh is not handling it well. I barely see her anymore. My relationship is strained at home simply because we really don't see each other.

25% of the semester is over. Technically I have a B- average. We've only had 1 test in each of our courses. I just wrapped up my forever long Med/Surg rotation at WMH. On to SMH next week for a mere 2 weeks. I don't know how I feel about everything just yet.

C25K is all messed up. I think when I run on Tuesday I'm doing W8D1. It's been tough finding time to run. When I ran yesterday it was ugly. I also think Aubreigh was kind enough to give me her cold.

At work I pretty much work every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I get up at 4 am 5 days out of 7. It downright blows. I try really hard to be in bed by 10pm, but some days I don't get off of work until after 10, so that makes it even worse.

40 DAYS UNTIL MY FIRST 5K!!!!!!!!
I know I'll finish, but it might be in 59:59 at this point. I know I can walk 3 miles in 45 minutes. The only time I've done the 3.1 miles I did it in 40 minutes. So somewhere between 59:59 and 40 minutes will be my finish time.

As for weight loss, the stress is making me hold water and all of that nonsense. I was at -26# the other day. I am solidly a size L in shirts now, which makes me happy. No tight fitting shirts, no depends on which brand. None of that. Just size L and fits like it should. I *think* I'm down 8 pants sizes at this point, but I haven't been brave enough to test that one out. I'm sitting in the size 7 sizes from where I started and my belt is definitely working hard to hold my pants up.

I'm about 2 weeks out from my 27th birthday. I'd like to be at -30# that day. Just to have a nice round number on my birthday. I doubt I get it, but hey, it'd be great.


Send some happiness my way
