Reaching For the Dreams....

Thanks. :) It's kinda cool too. Maybe I can play for college, at least for 2 years. I'm going to EvCC for 2 years, and then to the "Colorado Mountain College" where the only sports are cross country skiing, alpine skiing, and soccer...:rolleyes:

partial scholarship for volleyball is always a nice thing :)

Colorado would be a beautiful place to go to school - what made you pick that school?

I want to go there 1, because it's not anywhere near any big cities, and 2 because of the vet tech program they have there.

You learn on a 220 acre farm and a lot of what you do is hands on. They also have a class on animal shelter management, and I really want to open up my own horse rescue when I'm settled in. :D

animal sciences basically. I want to be a vet tech. :D all the perks of helping animals without the high expenses of vet school and of the $1000 test you have to take every year...:rolleyes:



Volleyball was fun today. We went up against a team that has 2 6'2 players on their team. ...that was fun... not. :D We didn't do too badly, and this was only a Jamboree, and it allowed us to scout out a bunch of the other teams. We have another game tomorrow, (which sucks cause it's against the 6'2 team...and it's the first day of school but that's ok) and then vb practice the rest of the week, and then I've got stall cleaning on sat/sun, and my riding lesson on sun. I can't wait!
 
It seems like you are never home!!! Well, I'll say it again. its great to keep so busy. Those pounds will fly off!
 
Ok, so we lost the game, but that's ok because we played REALLY well against them.:D I can't wait actually, to play them again at the tourney.

I stepped on the scale this morning and it said I was 198. FINALLY! I've been at 199/200 all week and I was getting very frustrated.

Anyway, I am cleaning stalls today and working at the horses again with a riding lesson. I'm a happy camper this week!

oh, and it's my goal not to go to fast food or buy a can of spaghettios this week. :D

Breakfast: 1 bowl of cereal
 
Hey girlie. Just stoppin by to cheer you on. I know what you mean about the whole summer thing. My scale bounced all over the place. I kept going between the extremes of binging and then feeling guilty and not eating enough. Crazy stuff.

It's great that you're still enjoying volleyball. Keep kickin bootay!!

Keep Going and Stay strong.

Hey Jen! Long time no see! I'm soooo sorry for not dropping by your diary! I'm terrible at posting in other people's diaries! :rolleyes: I'll try to make an effort though!

I know! And I have just waaaay too much fun! And guess what?! I got to canter! Apparently, I'm going through the paces a lot faster than anyone else at the rescue who's getting lessons have ever done. 8 lessons and I'm cantering! *does happy dance* It was sooo much fun! I actually worked up a sweat too, so that's great as well. :D I'm just one happy camper!

I'm glad that I'm back in Onederland, but I wish I was back in the low 90's, and high 80's like I was before. Oh well, give me a couple weeks, and I'll be back there!
 
ok, today was great until about 6th period. Then I get a txt saying that Chance is sick and we may have to put him down.

I get home and find out he's gone (I loved this horse and his bratish quirky, and spunky attitude). But I can't really do anything about it because I have a vb game.

Then we lost the game. I was very close to sobbing after the game because I could finally death with Chance's death (he was 12) and my mom was just being herself and I didn't want to deal with that and all I wanted to do was sit down and cry. Well then I pretty much got in an argument because my mom said something to the effect of, "Well, tell your friends not to tell you a horse has died on game days" :mad: How freaking selfish! And as a matter of fact, the news didn't effect my game. I blocked it off and had a great game actually. So I said no mom, you don't understand and she get's all huff and puffy and says "well just don't talk to me anymore about stuff, you can just talk to you dad, since I never seem to "understand"...

which is totally NOT true...ugh...mothers sometimes get on my nerves.
 
oh man you are soo a teenager lol ... im a mother of one ... its a whole nother story coming from the other side of the argument
 
Actually, I do believe I was quite reasonable. She made a selfish comment, and then I just decided to back away from it, and then she got huffy because I wouldn't talk to her because I knew that it would become an argument...which didn't work out anyway... oh well.
 
Hey xorie, sorry about the loss of your horse. Again i have been there and know how hard it is.

Hope you are doing well in all other aspects of your day. I'm a fellow teammate of yours on the halloween challenge so i thought i would drop by and say hi and see how things were going. congrats on the weight loss thus far. keep up the good work.
 
That sucks about your horse. I'm sad for you. And with you mom- she can take her attitude somewhere else. You don't need her to be so jerky.
 
Ok...

I'm 18 today! Officially an adult!

Scary... lol.

I also got a great b-day present! I stepped on the scale and have finally broken the 198 mark! 197 this morning! I'm happy. :D

I'm going to go clean stalls, and then go riding for two hours at Cultus Mountain Ranch in in Mount Vernon. I can't wait! It's going to be sooo much fun!
 
Who's had a bad last 3 days? I have. It sucks. and I got benched...why, I don't know. makes me mad cause I only played two games of the last two matches. If I don't start tomorrow I do believe that I'm going to cry like a little baby. I try really hard in practice, I'm a damn good setter, and yet she puts in molly..

ok, now I sound like a bitch. what fun. But, TOM's here and i've been in a crappy mood all week, and what do I do? I turn to food. And the I get even more depressed cause I know i've done it badly and I go and eat more! ACK! it just seems like a never ending cycle.

and the fact that I've barely lost any weight since volleyball started is another big damper on my spirits. it sucks. I'm just having a crappy week. It's ok, I'll get over it and then try to lose the weight for real. I'm going to start up a journal now because I need to be able to write something down with a piece of paper. I'm hoping that it will help me.

also, right now I'm going to clean my room, and maybe that will feel like a fresh start to me. I'm hoping that with a clean room, clean sheets and a clean fish bowl I can feel like i'm starting anew and that it will help me stay in better control of my actions. *crosses fingers* hopefully.
 
Hey girly just dropping by to say hi and hope you feel better soon i know how bad tom gets cause i am a really bitchy person during that time of the month which makes it hard when you have a 3 yr old who gets on your nerves very easy. anyways keep up the great work.
 
Everybody has those days/weeks/months/whatever. I know how it is. Cleaning your room might be pretty good, it seems to get me to feel more "on track". Sorry about volleyball. I hope that works out. Don't feel bad about not losing TONS of weight. You have lost some, and thats excellent. Even though it may take a long time to come off, just think that if you lost it fast... it is likely to come back even faster. Your doing good, and even though its TOM, you should be praising yourself a little bit more. You're doing awesome. Start fresh tomorrow morning.
 
ok. It has been a very long time since I have actually posted in this journal. Volleyball is finally over, and I can focus again on losing weight and spending the time to prepare something healthy rather than throwing whatever's handy in the microwave, or stoping at a fast food joint.

I want to lose 15 pounds by christmas, and I'm determined to do it this time. No more of this, "ok, I want to lose weight. oh wait, that looks good, i'm going to eat that." I want to be able to ride other of the horses besides Charles. I want to look good on a horse, rather than a large person on a large horse. I want I want I want... the list goes on and on of the things I could do with less weight on me.

I'm determined. I really am. :). Wish me luck. :D
