I’ve been staying between 154 and 156 for the last few weeks. It goes up and down depending on the day. This is not a bad weight at all. In reality, Dr. Moser told me that he would be happy with me being between 150 and 155, so I’m basically at an acceptable place right now. According to Weight Watchers, I need to get to below 142. So I need to lose about 15 more lbs according to them. This is the last bit of weight that most people have trouble losing.
So I honestly wrote down what I’ve eaten in the last 4 days (I think my count is accurate) and tallied up the points like a good Weight Watchers girl. I’ve been eating more than twice my daily points. No wonder I’m not losing! But I’m not gaining either. I guess all the exercise is helping with that. I’m thinking that I’m going to be really strict with myself for two weeks and not use my flex points and just get the last push done with. It might turn into more than two weeks. I want to finish! I want to get to where I need to be so I can do maintenence and have my bloody extra points and be done! Give me my maintenece points, damnit!!!!!! Yeah yeah… I have to finish the program first.
Other thing I thought about: I have 13 days until I need to turn in my next paper. And only 36 days until I turn in my final assignment for the term. In the next 36 days I have to read: 3 novels and 8 plays and a big packet of criticism and a book on criticism and do research for two presentations and write an 8 page paper, then combine that 8 page paper and the other 8 page paper into a 20 page paper with more data, and write another 20 page paper and write a 15 page story.
Tom felt the need to point out that I only need to write like 2 pages a day and read a book and two plays per week. Well yeah, but I’m not slick enough to partition out my time like that. I have sat down with my calendar and blocked out days to do each paper and read each book. I am going to finish all of this stuff early so that I can get feeback from the prof’s. It is important to me that I actually feel like I have done a good job this term. I want to get A’s because I have earned them–not because I am so good at bullshitting.
This unfortunately means that I am going to be skipping some events in the next 3 weeks. 🙁 I need to stay home and push myself to FINISH. I will crawl out of my hole soon. I promise. Until then, everyone have fun and send me emails telling me about all your delicious fun. I provide other people with wank material, where is mine?!
