So i know its been forever since i posted anything but schools really bogged me down lately.... so just a general up date....
I got a new job locally which is really nice because i no longer have to drive a long way and spend gas money i really dont have...
I'm half way through my summer semester with one class ending this week... but i still have 4 to work on... sigh
Tomorrow is my birthday... i'll be 25... (another sigh)
and i'm not loosing or gaining any weight... thats better than gaining i guess....
so there is it...nothing fancy everything is still the same ... i'll try and get back on more often now that the one course is ending...

And I agreed to Summer School Why?
So i'm in the second week of school and i already feel bogged down and dont know what i was thinking taking 5 classes. it seems like such a great thing at the time becuase it would be only having to take one more semester to finish my degree but now i just dont know... One class does end on june 14th so its not completly horrible but still...
And i found myself a local job.. I am working at a dollar store... its not much but the people are great... the boss is a blast... the pay is better than min wage, its close to home (great for gas) and they are really flexable to work around my school days which is really hard to find sometimes. It was my first day there today and i went on till right away.. talk about pressure... i didnt realize just how many people shop there on a sat...
Oh and i went shopping for some capris yesterday... I'VE DROPED DOWN A SIZE!!!!!!! and about time too :) i am very happy now!
anyways i've been bad becuase ive not been keeping track of my eating this week. i dont think i've been bad or eaten crap but still.... so we'll see what happens on monday... anway i have home work to go and do ...sigh!
have a great remaining weekend everyone!

Puppy Training
Today I had a one on one training session with my not so puppy any more puppy. Hes got some fear issues that we are working through and it went well. I've decided that I am going to sign up for some more classes becuase i think that it would be helpful to both of us. I didnt realize until now just how much is my fault and not the dogs... for example, He can be jumpy when i get home and i normally would walk in say hi and play with him for a few mins before continuing on... well i gather this isnt good, some domance thingy...i am supposed to not allow him to get soo jumpy by ignoring him when i get home and waiting until he calms down before i acknowledge him... thats going to be very hard for me... i love that he is soo excited to see me when i get home.
Also i got my photos back today for mothers day... i have one that i can post right now...its the nicest i think of the two, now i have to go and find a frame. and the best part is that i know she really wants to have a photo of us taken becuase she mentioned it in passing the other day to my sister. so shes going to draw one as a gag gift.. should be fun
As for my meals today...

bad evening
So my morning went well.. my first class went as to be expected and there was nothing to worry about with regards to course load, but this evenings class....it was another story and now i am totally stressing about my course load in that class. There is a bunch of reading, a mid term
( which a) i am never good at tests which arnt essay based and b) ive not had midterms since like first year) so i ended up going and getting subway for a late diner, and then ate a chocolate bar... that was not planned but i just couldnt help it.
so tomorrow i have furneral to go to at 1 and then my next evening class at 5:30, but no chocolate bar.
i dont really feel like working out the points right now, but heres what i ate today
Coffe from Tim Hortons lrg double double
Chicken breast with a thai chili sauce and baked potato
6" Buffalo Chicken Sub (subway)
chocolate bar (fruit and nut bar)
dont know how many points... too tired and stressed to really care right now...
oh well tomorrow is another day

Weigh In Day
Other than the fact that i am feeling bloated today.... things are going well, I lost that .5 pound so i can officially say that i have lost 40 pounds when someone asks... thats a good feeling.
I also went and found the book where i used to keep my stats from when i went to Curves... which never seemed to do very much for me, but looking back i think i can use them to give me an idea of what i have lost. The last time i have records is from March 06, but i was the same weight so this is what i got....
Bust Was 49" Now 46" Down 3"
Waist Was 46" Now 41" Down 5"
Abs Was 57" Now 45.5" Down 12"
Hips Was 57" Now 53" Down 4"
Weight Was 285 Now 245 Down 40lbs
BMI Was 40 Now36 Down 4
Thigh Was 30" Now26" Down 4"
Body Fat Was 43.5% Now33.3% Down 10%
Now i got my body fat from a website that i found http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html#accurate it lets you calculate it and claims to be very close to what you would get using a machine. so if its right i am very happy with my losses. esp my weight, bmi and body fat!
So i also start school tomorrow its a long day i start at 8:30 and go to 9:30pm i do have some time off between classes but still... we'll see how it goes.
Also i went for a run last night i think i will go again tonight... i'm feeling a tad stressed right now.

I ran today
So, its the last weekend i have to myself before i go back to school as of tuesday.. i had to run and drop off papers at small claims court for my mom... and stopped to have some lunch with her which was nice. Then this afternoon i realized that both dogs are out of their various doggy foods, one i have to get from the vets ( the special puppy food) so it was a mad dash to the vets then out to surrey to get the other dogs food. Oh and did i mention that my puppy ate the handicap pass we have for my brother... sigh... yet another thing that he got himself into.
I went to look at muzzles for him and nothing worked... and he was being a butt in the car with the other dog, so i just gave up and went home with their foods and a new chew toy for the dog.
We went out for Japanese food tonight...it was an all u can eat but they are such small portions that i dont mind eating a few portions bc i know its not that bad...i love the teriyaki chicken and beef..oh and i meet my best and worst friend today... tempura ice cream.. its kinda like a cream puff after all is said and done... the outside is tempura batter and is slightly warm and the inside is pure yummy ice cream... thankfully only 4 small pieces per serving...
oh and then when i got home i decided i would test myself and my broken toe and go for a small run. I did that couch to 5 k week one and took the puppy with me. I;ve not done it since i started to loose the weight and had decided it would be best to wait until i had lost some pounds before starting to run. So i did it... and so far i'm not feeling too bad... and yet the puppy wouldnt stop running even after we got home... i had kinda hoped it would have tuckered him out but not much luck on that...
anyways i'm supper tired now and think i will go to bed...
as for my meals
Midday
egg salad sandwhich - 12pt
Evening
2 slices beef teriyaki - 7pt
2 slices chicken teriyaki - 6pt
1/2 cup vegetable tempura -4pt
1/2 cup cooked white rice - 2pt

the big 46
K i really find it impossible to hit 46 points if i dont end up eating crap... i mean stuff like what i had for a snack after diner. McCains Deep and Delicious cake...mm mmm good but it was like the only way to hit that number and not explode from food over load...sigh
So my dad isnt home yet... maybe tomorrow if not that means he spends the weekend away from home and i will have to turn into a wild animal who will have to fend for food...
As for the photos today, sigh, its not easy for my brother to sit still at the best of times let alone when i have someone trying to take photos of us esp when he tried to mimic the photographer. Plus it didnt help that the guy didnt really seem to know how to handle a special needs child, but in the end we took about 30 pics narrowed it down to two we like and are having them made for mothers day... and yet for the 40 mins it took to take the photos and pick them it cost a small fortune...no one every said it would be cheep but come on.. anyways i'll post the pics when i get them back in a week.
as for meals today
Midday
1 item frozen chicken breast stuffed with vegetables and cheese - 8pt
1 cup cooked linguini - 4pt
