Jaclyn's NEW Diary

I like the published memoir idea. You'll dedicate it to us, right? LOL
I bet there would be several magazines interested. Or are we talking a book?

Well, as of right now the memoir is about 12 pages, so its hard to say if a magazine would be interested or not. I'm going to see what I can do with it. And of COURSE I'd dedicate it to you guys! This forum was the number one key to my success.

Speaking of success, I've been eating an awful lot lately. I'm not gaining, but I'm not losing. Right now I'm fighting with the idea of waking up really early in the morning so that I can exercise and get my days started off right.

I took the CLAST again and failed it again. Therefore, I am not taking it anymore. That was number 6. My only other option is to take a college algebra class, so I'm going to do that over the summer and get tutored and as long as I pass that class my requirement is fulfilled. The bad part is that it means I'll have to wait for the whole summer before I can sign up for the classes I need to graduate, and chances are I will not be able to get the ones I need, which means I won't be able to graduate until spring. It's not the end of the world, but I really wanted to be finished and I'm really disappointed that something so stupid is holding me up.

I went to the pool today and got some sun and swam around. Not a gym workout, but better than nothing.

Breakfast:
Chex in Skim (160)
Orange Juice (50)

Lunch:
Veggie sandwich on wheat (250)
Pita Chips (180)
Gelatone (150)

Dinner:
Eggs (140)
Hash Browns (250)
One pancake and one french toast (450)

No snacks or dessert, but a fattening dinner. Tradeoff? Hard to say. I just need to watch it.
 
You know what...keep up with school...dont give up..take it from me...this si what my college has been like...i started in 2000..failed anatomy and physiology twice...switched schools passed I and II with a B. Then I got into the nursing program...I failed OB and Psych with nursing so that made me unable to go on...i was eliminated from the program. Now I am in respiratory therapy and i love it mroe than anything and i study really a lot harder than i ever have...i failed a class last spring and im back in it now but if i fail another class i am done and eliminated from that program. but im nto going to fail...i gotta keep studying and keep my head up high...just wanted to give you a little boost because i know you can do it too!!
O and i wish it was only warm enough to go outside and do something and here you are swimming at the pool...we have only reached 55 today!! GRRR I hate ohio!!!
 
Sounds like you are just stuck in a holding pattern. One of the things I like about you (never having met you, you can take this for what you want...) is that you do what you have to. Jump through the hoops... get the degree. You'll do it. It sucks that the plan has changed, but the goal and prize are the same. Keep your chin up (and your hand out of the Cheeto bag).
(I'm just kidding about the whole cheeto bag thing. I just couldn't resist! - Especially since you are doing so well, considering the emotional/frustrating week you've had!-My boys were eating cheetos yesterday. Nothin' funner than three little boys licking cheeto dust off their fingers!)

ps... jealous that you went swimming...
 
Hi Fuunky! Your food looks great. Swimming is great exercise, I wish I had a pool here to swim in. I like your new pics, you look amazing. Good job with the memoir, isn't it the best when your classmates give you praise?

Keep up the great work, you are so inspiring to us.
 
Hey everyone, thanks for the words of encouragment. You guys are so great. So don't worry, I haven't fled the forum. I went to Fort Lauderdale over the weekend to visit my dad for his birthday and to speak to Eric about the little situation we got ourselves into by kissing. Unfortunately his answers weren't what I wanted them to be. He told me that he's in love with me and that when he thinks about us starting a relationship he feels like it would be permanant and that he isn't anywhere near ready for permanant. So I was pretty heartbroken. He kept saying it isn't our time, but that it will be someday. I don't exactly know how to take this. He's seeing another girl and he says she's just filling up his time, but I'm not stupid. I know I can't just wait for him to get over wanting to be with other girls until he's ready to settle down with me. So that hurt. I kind of ate a lot over the weekend, which I'm not proud of and it doesn't make me feel good. So today I'm going to the gym and healthy shopping and I really want to get on the way to losing the rest of this weight, because I've been just staying steady for so long. This whole thing with Eric sucks though, because I really want us to start something, even though we're far away from each other right now. I guess I just have to see what happens and keep myself busy in the meantime. :(

He is an idiot. I know that. I mean, I love him and we've been friends forever, but this is a stupid move. While I was exercising I decided that the only thing I can do is remind myself of all of the reasons it wouldn't work, at least for now.

By the way, I did exercise! 20 minutes on the elliptical and I did some strength training exercises from a magazine. Then I laid by the pool for about 30 minutes. You girls need to get out of the cold and come to Florida. It's tanning season for me! Now I have to eat lunch and go to class.

good for you for moving on and taking charge..ya cant change him, only YOU! and you are doing that beautifully. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Be super proud of yourself!
 
Hey girl!! Wow, just catching up with your whole diary.sorry I've been MIA. You're doing great getting back on track. I'm so proud of you!!

As for the boy..Eric. Well, I can't emphasize how true Kate's words are. Don't waste your precious energy in hopes he'll change. If he comes around in a few years and you're single, then hey great. If not.. his loss!!! :D
 
Your Doing Great Girl For Now Just Focus On You And You Njever Know You May Fall Head Over Heals For Someone Else Let Him Screw Up Just Work On You And Feeling Great About Yourself And Being Happy!
 
hey there chica... i finally caught up with some of your life recently =) Sorry about the crappy math stuff - i completely understand the desire to just be DONE with school... the thought of having another year and a half makes me want to cry!!!

I hope that sorting things out with Eric goes better - i know back in the day you were really hoping that would work.

You have just a little ways left to go!!! I'm at about 12 lbs left, and i'm feeling the same way - if I could just get my butt in gear and do it!!!! Great job on getting to the gym =) i need the exercise too and finally got myself running two days in a row... if I can only keep it up!!!!
 
Hey Jaclyn! Sorry to hear about Eric, sounds like he gave you a backhanded compliment. You just keep taking care of you and looking great and losing weight and you'll have 100 Erics begging to take you out. That guy sounds like he is going to be sorry that he passed up his chance. At least he didn't lie and starting seeing both of you. He sounds toxic. Man pain sucks!! Hope you feel better and put him on ignore. Ever tried the "rules" on him? They work pretty good. Let me know if you want more info on that.
 
The rules? I do want to know about that!

Thanks for all your support guys. I know that he'll be sorry someday, probably as soon as I start seeing someone else. We've been very close for a very long time and it's really difficult when either one of us is seeing someone else. The whole thing is pretty ridiculous. I'm still kind of down about it, but in the long run I know it will work out however it's supposed to.

So I worked today and someone saw me with my lunch and told me it looked way too healthy and I told her I was trying to lose twenty pounds and she looked at me like I was nuts and told me that it didn't look like I needed that at all. It was a nice compliment.

So then I totally forgot to get my dinner to bring out to my class, so of course I was starving when I got there. We had group projects today and one group brought candy--I only had a little :eek:

I already posted my breakfast, so here's the rest--

Lunch:
Salad with veggie chicken (200)
Fat Free Pudding (100)

Snack:

Montery Jack Cheese (120)
