I went to the university I'm going back to in the fall term this afternoon. I wanted to meet with my advisor to see what track I'm on and what I should consider doing once I transfer back there from the community college I'm attending now while I finish up my basics.
What was originally was only a meeting with him turned into four different things I needed or wanted to tackle. The university feels like it is a mile wide from end to end, and needless to say, I needed to walk it... from end to end.
I have my GoWear Fit set for a minimum of 5,000 steps, and today I hit over 5,500, most of those on the campus. I took the stairs instead of the elevators, and instead of moving my motorcycle from one parking area to another, I just walked it. Which is saying a lot since today was pretty hot and I was decked out in jeans and boots. :)
Unfortunately I was there much longer than I expected to be, and I didn't get to use my new rollerblades as I had hoped. But tomorrow is another day. :)
The one good thing that came of it was I was so busy that I had to REMEMBER to eat!! Omg, who woulda thunk it?? And because I had class tonight, and everything ran so long and I barely had 30 minutes to head back out again, dinner consisted of a protein drink and a small bag of beef jerkey I picked up on the way out to school. Ahhh, dinner of champions. :)
Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteI hope I didn't speak out of turn re: the feeling inferior post - if I came out sounding pious thats the last thing I wanted. I know exactly what you mean re: the mum thing.. I have my own mother troubles (I haven't spoken to her in almost a year it got that bad..and as a result my father sided with her so hes a no go too :(, so I do know exactly what you mean. She had a way of making me feel inferior since everything to her is black and white with no gray at all. For me I took the hardest possible scenario - I cut her out - but you know what - as sad and hard as that was, I feel better for it. Nobody made me feel as bad on a day to day basis than she did. xx
As for weetbix... they call it weetabix in the UK.. its oats and bran and all good stuff made into a brekkie cereal. Just google it lmao. Seeya
Well, she and I have come a loooong way. Done the estrangement thing, and come full circle again. I just wish that there wasn't still the negativity there. I feel I've gotten enough of it through my life, let me actually succeed at something. Lift me up for once, y'know? :(
ReplyDeleteWow! The 5500 steps is awesome! It was pretty hot so I bet you burned lots of calories! Maybe we can do the pool today??!?!??!!
ReplyDeleteYessss on the pool. Um, no on the calories, apparently. I'm still the same weight today as I was yesterday. Boo. :(
ReplyDeleteIt takes longer than a day for exercise to show up on the scale IME. Sodium on the other hand... geez, it's right there a few hours later!
ReplyDeleteYeah, what's with that?! Plus I'm very late on my cycle and just started yesterday, so... I'm sure I'm carrying around a lot of water weight.
