Had a great start to the weekend! My friend and I went to the gym at 11:00 and I got in 40 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training. I love it when I get home from the gym and take down my pony tail before I shower. My hair is always DRENCHED. It makes me feel like I was productive because I sweat so much. Haha. Well, either I'm productive, or I'm a big heffer who sweats all the time. OH ANDDD, after the gym, I treated myself to 20 minutes of fake baking at the tanning salon! I know, I know, it's cancerous.
Food for the day was also really good. I'm only at 1,037 calories so I'm about 260 under my day's goal. I'm going to eat a little more just so that I don't end up starving my body.
On a serious note - school is totally kicking my butt. I'm a Biological Sciences major in a Pharmacy program. When I got accepted into college, I signed a contract where if I have a certain GPA at the end of my undergrad, I will get automatically accepted into the university's Pharmacy School. I think I chose the major for all the wrong reasons - 6 figure income. That's it. I HATE science. I can't bear to think that when I'm done with grad school, all I'll be doing is checking for drug reactions all day behind a counter.
The reason I'm bringing this is up is because my mom called me today. She's kind of superstitious and whatever, so she talked to a Buddhist monk at the temple. She gave him my birth date, time of birth etc. and he told her that my ideal profession would be more towards Law/Comm. rather than a Science. I know that sounds crazy and I really believe people make their own decisions and create their own paths in life. BUT BUT BUT when my mom called to tell me that, I was SO RELIEVED. The only reason I've stuck with Pharmacy for this long is because I know I can do it and I just don't want to disappoint my parents. They're paying the private school tuition and I don't want them to think I threw away their money. However, when my mom told me she thinks that I'm too much of a people person to do drug distribution for the rest of my life, I was so excited. I don't care if I have to take an extra year to finish my undergrad - I'm going to change majors. Most likely. I have to go talk to my counselor but I'd rather do something I love and am passionate about, rather than something mediocre.
What I really want to do is HUMANITARIAN LAW! I want to travel to third world countries and represent the under privileged. There's so many unjust things happening in the world, and the only way to affect change is to take action, rather than sit back and wait for someone else to do it.
EDIT Sorry, forgot to mention something! I was reading some of my earlier posts in this journal from last month and I noticed that I had said I was going to reward myself with hair extensions when I got down to 159. Back then, it seemed like an out of reach goal. Today, I'm in the high 163 range and only a few pounds away from 159! I'm excited for the hair - but I'm more excited over the fact that I've come this far in my weight loss journey and haven't given up. I'm almost halfway to my goal weight! Life is good.
GREAT job on the low weight and smaller sizes. you're just totally rocking this!!! BRAVA!!!!
