Ohh I seee; either way thats still excellent! So this is your first year of college. And, oh yes I just seen your post in my journal. Im in my Sophomore year at my university and studying psychology. Thats my major as of now but I'm thinking of majoring in sociology in stead and minor in business. how bout you???

Sorry Thnkpositive, I did not see your post before for some odd reason...I'm actually in my sophomore year as well, but could not do chemistry yet because my schedule prevented me from taking classes on campus. Thankfully that has been sorted out and I can take them :D

Psychology!!! That is so cool :D ! I totally loved my psych class. I understand the want to change though, psychology is one subject that weighs heavy on the emotions and some find it hard to detach from empathising too much with their patients (if you will be using your degree to assist the public in that way). I think research in psychology is probably one of the most fun and user friendly ways to apply the degree. Good luck with whatever you finally decide, I'm sure you'll do exceptionally well either way. I started out as a physics/chemistry double major because the university I'm transferring to did not have astrophysics, but they have it now, so I will be a physics/astrophysics major with a minor in mathematics :D. I'm so excited about it!

If there is pain then stop immediately, you should really see a physiotherapist (physical therapist) for special exercises if it has been confirmed that you have separation and they will be able to tell you if surgery may be needed. if you do start working on your abs then start very gently. If you do any crunching type movements brace and support your abs with your hands.

you also need to concentrate on working the transverse abdominis Abdominal Vacuum

Transverse Abdominis this is the muscle which holds everything in, the Tranverse Abdominis hold the abdomen flat.

Thanks so much Trusylver. I understand that crunches can cause a burning type pain, but this was severe cramping pain and I really could not stretch myself out of cramped position until the muscles finally relaxed. I will try all of the things you recommended including the physiotherapist.
 
Gaaaaad tonight is one of those nights that I really just feel like quitting school :( I'm going to have to pull an all nighter and I am soooo tired and I need to wash my crazy hair. And why is there no decent crying emoticon on this forum. *sigh* gone back to study.....
 
Thanks so much Veronique :) I took the calculus II final exam I was studying for and missed getting an A by only two points!!! How annoying lol. I am sure it was some mindless mistake like forgetting to change the negative sign to positive or something like that. Oh well no bother, at least that's out of the way.

Doing good diet-wise so far today, and I plan on getting some exercise in later although I probably should sleep since I've only slept for 7 hours in the past three days! What a mess lol.
 
hope school calms down for you soon! haha are you just in the middle of exams?? (i've been slacking on keeping up with the forum, and you have had a lot of action lately) haha. sorry :(

i want to congratulate you on sticking to healthy eating and working out while being in crazy-school mode. i NEVER did this. that is seriously awesome. its even easier to just grab a donut or burger when you are rushed with studying and stuff. way to stick to it.
 
I agree with Katie, great job on eating well while being stressed and way to busy! I need to follow your example! You are doing great!
 
Thanks so much Veronique and Katie, unfortunately I did not eat healthy at all yesterday lol

Katie don't ever worry about not being able to come to my diary, I totally understand how busy life can get. Sometimes when I come here I only have time to post to my diary lol

Well I'm as annoyed as sleep deprivation well let me be this morning. I stayed up all night for some assignments and went to bed at 8:30 am, the baby woke at 10 am. I asked my husband if he can watch him so I can sleep just two more hours at least. I'm a little worried about driving as far as I have to with so little sleep. He says he didn't sleep either....but has been snoring since 3am *rolls eyes* Commute is about thirty minutes each way and when I'm tired the car really puts me to sleep. Maybe I should let him find someone else to take him to work today:toetap05:

Well aside from all of that my diet has been mostly energy drinks, coffee, and fast food -_- I have one last exam today and will try to catch up on sleep before Monday as classes start again. Maybe I should have taken summer off!
 
Heyy Girl!!!ughh I know what you mean about quitting school haha it gets so overwhelming sometimes, but your making it through which is awesome! how many more finals do you have to go? Im finishing writing final papers (3 more to go) for my classes then Ill be done for summer :) your crazy not taking a summer break hehe I'm just kidding, but make sure you get some rest!!
 
Hope your papers went well thnkpositive...i also had a major paper to write -_-
Thx so much Justina. I did ok on the exam, just wish i would have gotten one more question right on the exam which would have elevated my grade in the class by one letter...it sucks to miss a grade by fractions of a point.

Totally sleep deprived again but I just wanted to check in with everyone to let you know things have been hectic, I'll visit diaries as soon as I have more time and get a little sleep -_-
 
You will get throught it!!! You will be so proud of yourself when you get that diploma!!! I am hoping you get some time off soon to rest! TAke care of yourself!!!
 
Thank you so much Veronique! *hugs* I will not be having a break until next summer...but this summer i am only taking three classes so it's sort of a break lol ... Well two of the classes are really like two classes each because of labs, but its not so bad. I should be back later hopefully!
 
Feeling really down today, maybe I should have skipped out on going to school this semester. Its not too late to drop everything but I really need to think about it because it will postpone my graduation. My husband is confident that I can do it but it seems like everything occurs in a manner to make me lose sleep and stay up late doing homework. I can't live like this much longer.

Diet was going good today and then I ate because of stress and then I was so stressed out it made me really sick so I've just been drinking all evening :/ water and coffee lol maybe I should start the alcohol :p
 
Hey Xe!

I am hoping that you feel better today! Your schedual seems so jam packed....I think you should really think about it..taking time off....cause if you take a break now you may get greater results in the long term...but again only you know that. I don't know how much the delayed graduation will impact your lifeplan.....I am sending you healthy tought and positive vibes!!!
Take care!

Vero
 
Thanks Veronique :) The reason I am doing so much is because I intend to pursue a graduate degree...PhD so it will take five more years after the bachelor's :svengo:

*dusts off diary*
couldn't get here on the 23rd but I lost a little 266.4 :/
 
Hiya Xenon :waving:

Wow, sounds like you are going through a really stressful patch. Ew. It makes it so difficult to focus on yourself and making yourself the healthiest you can be... You poor chicken, being so stretched to the limit!

Meanwhile, you've now lost more than FIVE BMI points! That is HUMONGOUS! Huge congrats from the land of chocolate and cheese :cheers2:

Congrat on the loss....no matter the size a lost is a loss and is worth celebrating! I am amazed at all you are achieving! You a one great lady!

Thanks so much decisionmaker! I never celebrate my total loss which is something I should do:party: I've just been looming around the 250's and 260's for a while and I really need to get out lol.

Thanks so much Veronique! And thanks for the compliment:blush5:

Well guys I had to ditch the 6WBMO--six week body makeover. I can't stick to that thing for the life of me! So now I am back to cal counting and exercise. I was thinking back through things, and the most consistent weight loss success I've ever had was with cal counting and exercise. I'm also setting a super aggressive goal to lose these 66 pounds by my October weigh in--that will give me 2 more months to be safely below 200lbs, so if the end of December kills me diet-wise, at least I will not be in the 200's again. Too much logic :p but really I want to change things and be at a place I have not been for a very long time in my life. One of the things that really affects my mood is the moods of my DH, but I'm trying to work around his sometimes mental nature, because it is very important that I keep my spirits up--especially with such a nice and fun-loving son. No matter what else is going on he is so special and filled with so much love :D

This upcoming week should be slightly hellish lol I have a class starting; differential equations:svengo: But I am trying my best to set aside time for this forum because having your support really helps me and my health is more important than my stress :D

Have a good day everyone and a wonderful week!
