Diary? EEK!

Your daughters are really beautiful ! Its good that you get to see her :)
So did you make it to your appointment this morning ? I too tend to stay here really late sometimes:sleeping: and I dont even notice til my eyes start closing hehe :jump:
well I hope you have a great day today!! and you arent so tired hehe :D

Alejandrina :D
 
I did make it! I was quite tired but managed not to show it. I was giving a presentation to a group of troubled teenagers, so had to be awake! They'll eat you alive otherwise ;).

Then when I got home I took my final program comprehensive exam and passed! Our grades get handed in today, so as of today I am a graduate of the Physical Therapist Assistant Program!!!! WOOHOO!!! I'm excited :). Now don't ask me anything about sports or training because I have no clue. I focused on geriatric rehabilitation and recovering from neurological trauma such as strokes and brain injuries.

Then after I passed my exam and lunch I took a nap. A much needed and deserved nap! So now I'm ready to restart my day. And go to bed early because I go back to work tomorrow. Back to making money. I kind of liked my husband paying all the bills...

Michelle
 
awesome, congrats your completing the physical therapist assistant program! Ah don't talk about paying bills, I dread seeing the electric bill next month because we're using the a/c more.
 
Bills bills bills!! Hehe :).

I never look forward to when mine come either. I still had to pay them, Josh just gave me the money. I'd like to have a break from having to even look at them though! We've been using our a/c a bit here and there. Not too much yet, but I can tell it wont be long!

Thanks for the congrats :). It's a huge relief to finally be done.

My first day back at work went well. It's been three months and there is no one new! That's atypical! All the residents were the same and none had deteriorated in condition.

I managed to get up at 5 am for breakfast and to lift some weights. Up to 15 lbs with bicep curls, but can only do 5-7 depending on hammer curls, palm up, or concentration curl. Hammer curl is the easiest!
My ankles for some insane reason are killing me. I think it's because with my walk yesterday I did attempt the run one walk two. It's the only thing I've changed. I think I'll hold off on cardio for a day or two and wait for my ankles to not feel like they're going to fall off!

Michelle
 
wow you wike up at 5 am? Congratulations :Dthats too early for me I would only do that when i need time to study before a test hehehe but wit a huge cup of coffee of course :eek:
yeah and be careful with the running I ve tried that and I always end up hurting myself
anyways i ve to get going
take care and have a Nice Afternoon:D
 
oh man tell me about it....sometimes I set my alarm earlier than necessary because I have a baaaad habit with the snooze:drooling: :sleeping:
 
The snooze button IS evil! Today though, I got up way late, 11 am... but I didn't go to bed till three am because my friend had her bachelorette party last night. So I also missed breakfast today :). But for good reason, I was still in bed!

After a nice lunch, Sunday we always go to the mall for lunch, I went swimming with my daughter. She is doing quite well. AND for the first time in 12 years, I jumped off the diving board! So what if it was only the little one, maybe 5 ft up from the water, it was still scary! Maybe next time I'll attempt to dive in... MAYBE!

Hope everyone is having a great day! It's another beautiful day in my area and maybe another walk is in order just because it's too pretty to not be outside!
 
Good job on the diving board hehe
Yeah, the snooze is quite evil....one time I set the alarm to get up at like 10 and I finally got out of bed at 12 or so lol
 
*UGH* I walk into talk abt bills and 5am wake up calls and sleeping in - heh heh hehe - I get up arpund 530am for me time...I just took on a second job with good pay and benefits to pay off our bills and actually have money to spend and to afford to buy things we need...and ya im bad on sat mornigns when I try to get up at work time to go work out and such...

On a side note - I love your av...
 
Congrats on your new job Cinderelly!

My avatar was either that or a picture of marbles with the saying I've lost my marbles. I figured it was about time I got to getting up an avatar!

Mornings have never been my forte. My dad works swing shift, my mom works third, my sister works third (12 hours 6p to 6a four days on four days off). I think I'm genetically programed to like staying up late and sleeping all day. We have a bunch of third shifters with my cousins as well. Certainly must be genetic to not want to get up early!

Sun, I'm jealous of the noon wakeup! I'd do that every day if I could. Then stay up all night (probably online :) ).

Today... long day. Worked today so up at 5 to lift my weights. Went to work and wondered why I was there (on call, so I'm only supposed to be there if they are short on a shift). They weren't short. Stayed all day anyway. Just got home and I'm tired! Probably because I slept in yesterday then couldn't fall asleep last night. Lunch was nonexistant, so I'm about to put in some easy mac and green beans. Had my bag of peanuts during my "lunch break" (at 9 am). I don't know how people can eat lunch at 9 am. I'm definitely not hungry at 9 am.
 
hey michelle
long time no read!:)

I wish i could sleep till 9 at least but I cant even if I go to sleep super late i ll wake up at 6, and 7, 8 and then I ll give up because I cant sleep more...
well i ll come back tomorrow since im falling asleep right now take care and congrats on the waking up at 5 am to lift weights!
 
Thanks :). Getting up that early is HARD! Even harder than a hundred push ups! (though I still can't do a hundred push ups, maybe someday).

On the weights front, I finally got some adjustable weights (donated from a friend on a year basis since she's going overseas). They go individually up to 40 lbs, or together 20 each.

On the weight front, I am still going slow and steady. I think maybe though even though I'm going slow, I'm still going to fast. I think I need to increase my calories. I don't feel I should loose a pound two weeks in a row. I'm thinking two pounds every three to four weeks. With going back to work, I know I've not been eating what I should be either though. My lunch is very late (nearly three yesterday) so then I didn't feel hungry at supper and barely ate then. Today and tomorrow I have class. Today lunch was a protien bar, pretzels, and a cheese stick. I am hungry now and there is pizza and garlic bread in the oven. Then I'll have a snack in a couple hours and hopefully have a better day with food. I have my frozen banana supply replenished :).

I also did not DDR or do any cardio yesterday. With the calories I had yesterday, that's probably a good thing. My friend who is leaving soon for overseas came over and we watched a couple movies. We watched House of Wax after the kids I babysit went to bed. It wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it was going to be. And we watched Stomp the Yard while the kids were all playing before bed.

The garlic bread smells so good! And I still want peanut butter cookies!
 
House of Wax was a good movie, I watch it every once in awhile when it pops up on one of those hbo channels.

oooooh don't get me started on girl scout peanut butter cookies!!!! I devour them whenever theres a box in front of me.

Well have a fantastic day!!!:jump:
 
Girl Scout cooies and Bread both cause me to :drooling: !

I was in a rush this morning and was unable to get my cereal. So I grabbed a granola bar and two cans of light lemonade (cant stand the regular stuff, it's too sweet).

Midmorning snack- cheese stick and a diet coke

Lunch- ordered pizza as a class. Had three medium sized squares and a regular coke.

Late afternoon snack- coffee cup of doritos (dont drink coffee and had to find some use for the coffee cups that came in my set). and a bottle of water

Supper- steamed rice with lemon pepper seasoning, chicken flavored tofu, and mixed veggies. Very yummy! With another diet coke.

Today I'm drinking a ton of soda. I had class today and the closest thing is the soda machine or I wouldn't have had the two earlier today. Usually during the day it's always water or lemonade and nearly always with supper it's diet coke or orange juice. My husband only gets paid once a month and we're out of orange juice.

For the rest of the day, I still need some fruit. I think in a bit I'll do some cardio and then have a banana or an apple or maybe both :).

I didn't do any lifting at all this morning. I was so tired and kept hitting snooze. I was lurking here till way to late last night!

Make today great!
 
Hello

Hi, Michelle,

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for the kind words on my diary. I never had tofu, does it really taste like chicken....really?

I have not bought girl scout cookies in quite a while. I devour the entire box. If I buy any in the future (need to suppport the girl scouts right?) I will bring them into work adn not leave them here.

So you like to use DDR, I used to use it a lot but haven't recently. Not sure why just don't.

How did you start using weights? I want to start but not sure what to do. I have a bench and free weights. It has turned into a clothes rack :)

Congrats on getting up at 5 to do the weights..I am impressed. You are an inspiration :)

have a good evening
Debbie
