Man, if I woulda gone to the OG, I probably woulda had much more than 750 calories, lol. And I don't envy you the cookie lady if they were just hangin out in front of me, well, I'm not really sure what I would do!
Anyways, you sound like your doing a really good job- and congrats on making your goal for the week, I'm a little bit jealous haha!

Unfortunately I feel like I am getting a cold. My nose started feeling funny in class this morning and now my head hurts all around. I have started strong doses of herbs, so hopefully I will not get a full blown cold. It is WAY too early in school to get sick! Not to mention I have been taking my multi-vitamin every day (why do you always get sick when you are on top of things more than normal?). Due to this development I don't know if I will be able to workout this week. I was going to go running tonight, but I think I will be better off resting.

What are other people's thoughts about working out when sick?? My hubby is completely against it and wouldn't let me go if I wanted to.

I didn't make it to my appointment today. I was supposed to switch classes to go, but my prof. wouldn't let me. I was a little pissed, but I did avoid the food conflicts. We will see how the food situation goes this week if I do get sick. Right now all I want is pasta or bread... lots of carbs!! I have done good so far today, but dinner might be a blunder. Even PP&J sounds good right now!

Jess- It was hard not to order past at the OG... I think I just got lucky that I wasn't too hungry. Thanks for the support!

sucks that you might be getting sick. believe me- i know the feeling. anyways, how is school going for you? do you have a myspace or soemthing?

Aww man that sucks I hope you feel better soon. What kind of herds are you taking?

Food wise today has been a good day. I haven't been that hungry due to my now very nasally cold. I won't be able to work out for a couple days due to sickness.

I have eaten a little less than 1,300 calories today... maybe I will have some Dryers slow churned ice cream to increase my calories for the day... that sounds good.

Other than food I am pretty pissed. One of my professors seems to think that she is queen of the world and knows everything. Apparently after 5 years of school I have horrible writing. Who knew? I didn't know you could get through that much school completely sucking (sarcasm). I am so MAD right now. Really, do people sit there when they are writing and name of the parts of the sentence? Oh... there was a pronoun, now a noun and don't forget the verb. COME ON!?! WHO DOES THIS?!? I need to hear from these people. I F*** hate this lady. She is retiring in December... why couldn't she have retired in May?? NOBODY WANTS HER AROUND!

Thats all for now.... I need to go cool off.

i too hate school like its nobodys business. sorry to hear you have a shitty teacher. i think im leaving my program at the end of the semester though. Ive been ready to be done with school forever for like 2 or 3 years now.
i hate when people act like everyone owes them something. she probably gets off on making everyone feel like they suck and that they have to answer to her.

you need to send me a private message with your info so i can make you my facebook/myspace friend!!!

Jersey,
I wish I could quit! I am to the point that I can't... which really sucks! I am so over it. I used to love it during undergrad, but not taking any time off has taken a toll on me.

I resisted the ice cream last night. So yesterday was a low calorie day. I am still hoping for at least a small loss this week, even though I haven't been able to work out. This cold is going to be the end of me. I tried to take a nap, but I hate trying to sleep when you can't breathe out of your nose and the back of your throat is dry. Ugh... Food wise today has been fine. According to my calorie counter I have 500 calories for dinner. I think we might be going out to dinner. We go to a local place here. They have a garden salad that I get with chicken on it and ranch on the side. How many calories are in crutons? They do put a lot of those on it. Humm... might have to look before we go.

Anyways, I am off. Need to make myself look presentable. We might be going to a movie as well tonight. Who needs to do home work? NOT ME! Well... I should, but I am not going to. I have all morning (9-1).

Hey Tiffany,

Hope your dinner and movie went well. I finished my masters last spring so I know how much good some time off can do you! Hope you enjoyed it.

Have a good day today!!

Hey Tiffany,

Thanks for the kind words on my diary. My first time doing one of those so the encouragement was really appreciated.

I am really sorry to hear you have a bit of a cold thats no fun at all. Hopefully it will pass very soon.

What movie did you end up seeing? Hope all is well!

hey tiff,
since i did my undergrag at princeton it was an insane amount of work and im just freaking wiped out. i think i might just get these credits under my belt and then take some time off from school.

anyways, the croutons answer depends on how big they are and how many. like i knwo taht a little pouch of them for a pre made salad has anywhere between 25 and 90, dependant on the size of the package and the croutons...

Anyways, i hope that cold goes away soon and you start feeling better.

Ugh... this cold is killing me! I weigh-in (officially) in the morning. I am not expecting much of a loss. I have been doing fine calorie/ serving size this week... so maybe I will get lucky. I have been weighing myself pretty much every day. As of yesterday and today I was down a little, but not much. We will see. One week of maintenance won't kill me. Hopefully this weekend I will have time to recover.

Sorry I haven't written in anyone's diary today. We have real patients tomorrow... so I have been trying to prepare. :S

I will update in the AM .

Have you thought of switching mutis?? Quite a few on the market have really low absorption rates, and then ya get sick easier... Oooh- and EmergenC! That stuff rocks- have a few packets of that and buhhhh by cold

Good luck with the real patients tomorrow

Jess,
I actually just switched mulit's. I was taking the GNC women's ultra mega and now I am taking the APEX women's mulit. I switched a couple days before I got the relentless cold. I don't know. School just started and there are a lot of germs there that I am not used to being exposed to. Thats probably where this nasty cold came from. I just woke up from a 4 hour nap.

To my weigh-in. I weighed-in at 179.0. So I lost a total of 4oz. Not too exciting, but at least I didn't gain. Maybe I will have a big loss next week. That is usually what happens, I loose a little one week, but then have a big loss the week after. We will see.

As for goals for next week... be healthy! I am not going to put a loss goal this week as I don't know when I will be able to get back out there and exercise.

Food today could have been better. I had my fruit for breakfast. Then I had a basil and mozzarella panini with cream of carrot soup for lunch. Both items were from the Metropolitan market (yummmm). It is one of my favorite pick-me-ups. The sad thing was I couldn't taste very much of it . Not sure what dinner has in store. We might be going to Apple Bee's, but not sure yet. More soup possibly? I don't know if I want to sit in a restaurant. We will see.

We ended up not going to a movie the other day. We went to dinner and I was done in after that.

Thats all for now. I need to go find some water and veg. Ice cream anyone? I think I am going to have some tonight. Feed a cold starve a fever... maybe thats why I'm not any better... I haven't been feeding my cold very well.

I haven't posted in a few days... but I am still here! I have been eating and sleeping for the past few days. I have been feeding my cold well and am now finally feeling a little better (knock on wood). I ate quite a few things that I probably shouldn't have, but I needed to do something to help this cold. Hopefully I will be feeling well enough to workout later this week. Right now I am trying to get caught up on all of the school stuff that I pushed aside this week.

I hope everyone is doing well. I will try to check in on diaries later tonight.

Alright, I am fessing up. I just came off of a 3 day binge. While I know that I needed this to help me get better (at least this is what I am telling myself) I still feel really guilty. Starting tomorrow I am back on my healthier plan. For some reason this cold has been lingering around, but as soon as I started eating more I started feeling better :s. Anyways, I am back on! Hopefully the last three days haven't killed me on the scale. I think I am going to start weighing-in on Thursday's instead of Fridays... they just work better for me. I am not going to get on the scale until Thursday... this whole weighing myself everyday... or sometimes multiple times a day is craziness.

Anyways, that is my confession... I feel better now. Bring on this week of being healthy (with food and no sickness!).
