Kick in the Keister!!!

So...yesterday I got a call to take the Discovery Cove swim test!!! That was definitely an ego boost! This is the furthest I've ever gotten in the application process! Unfortunately...I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it :( I'll explain later...

Anyway, it was just the sort of thing I needed to hear to get me motivated again!!! And knowing that tomorrow is my last day of Organic Chemistry...EVER...I just can NOT wait to get it over with!
I think once I'm finally through with the class that has slowly sucked the life out of me over the past year and a half, it will be SUCH a relief :) I think after taking that class I will be able to enjoy any of the other classes that I have (maybe even physics 2...but we'll see!)

But I better get back to studying for my final; I will update again soon!

In general, food and exercise hasn't been the best lately (mainly due to so much studying...) but I see a light at the end of the tunnel!!! :) It'll just take some time...not that I actually HAVE time haha but I will soon!

Slowly but surely!

So the past few days have been kinda all over the place! I've had success and failure...but so far I'm still under my weekly calorie goal! Just been napping a lot still...but I'm slowly starting to wean myself off to get ready for the fall semester!
I also did Wii Zumba for 20 min on Monday, and I took Buddy for a 28 minute walk/jog tonight!
Trying to start off slow this time, because every time in the past I've gotten all gung-ho for the first 2 weeks and then if I start to slack off it's a downhill slope from there! So I'm taking it slow...I'll be moving soon too so packing and going up and down stairs will be enough of a work-out until I get back to school! Having classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30-4:15 is going to be a bit of a change for me...I'll still have my online classes, but sheesh! It will take some getting used to haha but that gives me plenty of time to pencil in some good workouts!!! :)

As far as food has gone, I've been so-so...Dad ordered me enough pizza hut pasta to last me for days! So it's hard not splurging out on that, but I've done pretty good so far :) Kept my portions reasonable!
As far as fruit goes...I missed my fresh fruit SO much!!!

Taking my time, and doing things right!

I figure that sums it up pretty well!

Still on Vacation Mode...hahaha

So...getting back into the swing of things has been a little harder than I expected...definitely still have vacation brain (and so does Buddy!)

We haven't been able to take walks/jogs as much lately because Buddy hurt his paw when we were playing fetch in the tennis court...so that hasn't helped! It's been an easy excuse to take it easy because of that...

BUT...
I got my Fitness, Self, and Women's Health magazines and I am READY to get back to work! I've had enough down time the past week or so...no more couch potato for me, or Buddy!

I'm doing Wii Zumba tonight, and I just registered for Jillian Michael's free 2-week online program and will be getting 2 of her fitness DVD's in the mail soon.

LET'S GET BACK TO BUSINESS!!!
(When the fat pants start getting too tight and you've gained 6 pounds...that's when it's a wake-up call!)

Fell off the wagon BIG TIME!

Haha soo....after all of that preparing that I did for the cruise to look good in my bathing suit...I feel like all of that went to WASTE during the week that I spent with my family! Lol of course the all-you-can-eat food on the cruise was a HUGE temptation...I tried to be good, but I had absolutely NO willpower this past week haha
I took the stairs as much as possible and actually made it to the gym on the ship one day and rode the bike for 50 minutes! :) And I always feel like walking in heels is a big workout for me too since I practically never wear them!

Also went to Disney on Monday for the 4th, and did SOOO much walking there...I am still exhausted from this last week, so I'll probably end up taking it easy and finishing with all of my assignments that I missed during the past week of school :( I already have a test for Spanish tomorrow! So it's hardcore cramming tonight...but at least I got to practice a little bit while I was in Cozumel! "Donde esta delphines?!" Haha my favorite phrase :)

The cruise was absolutely amazing though! I definitely needed that little break...but coming back was a HUGE slap in the face from reality :(
Buddy did pretty well at PetsHotel! Was a bit of a setback for his separation anxiety...and taking 5 days off from training DEFINITELY shows hahaha! He did SOOOO good with my cousin Rachel though; I was very proud of him and I think he will make a FANTASTIC therapy dog someday soon!!! :)

Well, for the rest of this week we'll be taking it easy...but starting on Sunday it's back to the grind! Knockout Kickboxing at 6pm! WOOO!!!
