That usually works! But it ended up being quite a low key night with only a couple of drinks. Which was still a blast!

Good! Can't have you running away on us. Yeah, it's good to try and seek out new people on the forum, rather than just sticking with the same ones all the time. I feel bad that some new people seem to get ignored and end up leaving because they don't get the support they need. Everybody needs support!

No problem. I'll always make an effort to stop by your diary. You're such a great person. Thanks for finding my diary, hun!
I write the MCAT on Aug 16. It's gonna be a scary, scary day in my life.

Well, I stayed up way too late last night and slept in way too late today. I had a sleepover with 2 of my girlfriends, which always results in staying up too late and being sinfully lazy the following day. So, thus far I've only eaten a bowl of granola with raisins & skim milk. But I'm currently baking a chicken breast and am going to make a garden salad to go with it. Yummm.

Oh, and my official weigh in for the month is 150.

DON'T MAKE ME UPS YOU SOME OF MY WINE, BITCH!!!

I agree, I miss those girls!! But hey, at leats you're still around Oh yeah, and I almost dropped off but I DO have a desk job, so not likely!!!

You reached your original goal, YAYAYAYAYAYYAA!!!!!!!!!

Good luck on the last 5 lbs, they're a doozy! Shit, trust me Well, it may be easier for you, I wouldn't know! I had the hardest time with my last 5 lbs. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

No worries baby! I made a delicious supper tonight and then realized I had no white wine in the house and was very disappointed. It would have been marvelous with my chicken.

I know! I think it's going to be really hard. But I'll just hope for the best. But I'm proud of reaching my original goal, that's for sure!

Making your original goal is really an awesome accomplishment. Those of us who have been here for some of your journey are extremely proud. Happy Canada Day.

I love Canada, I really do. I love living in the land of free healthcare, colorful money and gay rights. It's really a shame that we have such a lousy prime minister at the moment. But, fortunately, the government does not necessarily make the country. It's bizarre that we have such a conservative PM, yet we remain such a liberal country. Good for us!

I have to work overnight tonight from 3pm-8am. Yes, you read that right... a 17 hour shift. Of course, after 11:30 pm, there will be sleeping involved. I'm staying at the dorms with the camp kids tonight. Last week was all prep work. This is the first night that camp actually starts and there will be students there. Should be a fun time!
Anyway, my plan is to go to the gym tomorrow morning when I get off work. I'm considering also going before work today and just making it a light workout... I think I will.

Breakfast
Slice of whole wheat toast w/ light peanut butter, 1/2 cup yogurt, glass of apple juice

Lunch
Garden salad w/ low-cal ranch

Supper
2 slices of pizza (we ordered pizza for the camp kids)

Snacks
1. Cup of grapes
2. Apple, 1/2 cup of yogurt

Good grief! Hang in there! *muttering* seventeen hours.....

Fine rub it in. Why don't you just mention the friendly people, hot chicks, and good beer while you're at it too. I love my country, I just haven't been too proud of it lately.

It's not so bad. It's not like "real" work. We have a lot of fun. And I get to go to sleep when the kids go to sleep, so I'm really only working for about 10 hours.

I was thinking about it, but I thought it would be cruel. Turns out you've done my job for me.

First official night of Medquest is over. It was a good night! We have a great group of kids this week. I went to the gym when I got off work this morning. I had such an amazing workout! I think it's the best I've had in quite a while. I'm not sure what was so special about it, but for some reason everything felt good. I felt really strong and could tell that I was maintaining good form. I almost didn't want to leave!

I'm glad to hear you had a great workout. I'm off to the gym tomorrow, but I've been rethinking what I'm doing exactly and trying to educate myself a bit.

That's wise. People in general need to be smarter about their workouts, myself included. There's not much point doing an exercise unless you understand the principle behind it and how it will affect your body in the long run. My sister is a dental assistant/dental office manager, but she just went back to college to take a personal training course, just for the purpose of having more knowledge of her workouts. Since then, she's taught me so much stuff I didn't realize. Now I put that knowledge to practice and I can feel a huge difference in my workouts!


Today I was thinking about the fact that I reached my original goal and realized that this calls for new pics! So I'll try to post some within a week. I should probably wear the same clothes I wore in my first set, for the sake of comparison. But if I wore something tighter, it would give a better overall impression. I guess I'll have to do both?

Why are all the women in these diaries giving me such straight lines today? First it was Val complaining about a restrictive dress code outlawing skirts above the knee, now you're wondering if you should wear something tighter. I'm trying to behave honestly I am . As for the training, I got a lot of info from Steve. That's why I put the info out there. If I'm going to spend the time working out I want maximum results for my effort. I'll do whatever that requires.
