Scared of the scale

you poor thing! I'm sure it will all get straightened out...don't worry too much. And by the way, I just realized how much weight you lost--congradulations!!! And one piece of cake is not cheating--it's necessary. Most nutritionists will tell you that a healthy diet includes small amounts of yummy junk! Hope your day gets better!
 
Thank Goodness

I just got back from my friend's birthday party and checked my email. My professor has exonerated me. She's not taking me to community court and has offered a full apology. It's a freaking relief. I was kinda jacked up for the day but hanging out with my friends really helped to relieve some of the stress. I went out to dinner today, but really stayed on target. No drinking and most importantly, no cheating. I had the spinach wasabi wrap and again, it was freaking good. I ate that with a pickle slice and 12 tortilla chips. Topped off the good food with a lot of water and just a bunch of merriment. By the end of our dinner, I was feeling a thousand times better.

We had a nice 10 minute walk back to campus and headed on over to see the senior thesis performances. We had 2 performing arts majors staging plays that they had designed as their thesis. One student's a bit out there, but then again I've never really understood modern dance and her thesis performance centered on emotion and using movement to express different expressions in life. The other performance was an adaptation of Hamlet. Most of the people that saw it were blown away by the lead.

It was her thesis that they had put on, but I didn't see anything innovative about it. It was just a rehashing of Shakespeare put into a modern setting. That's not to say that the student performers didn't act the play well, but I just don't think it was as good as everyone was making it out to seem. All and all, I still liked both performances and took a lot away from the different styles represented. I'm really tired, so I think I'll be heading off to bed right now. Here's wishing that everyone has a wonderful stress free weekend.
 
aww sorry you had to go through all that with your papers, but i'm happy it was straightened out.

and about that secret admirer, don't let it get to you either. If it happens again, i would let her know how you feel about it. :eek:

hope you have a good day tomorrow :)

I'm planning on having a great year. But thanks for your concern. The only thing I learned from this, was to stop procrastinating. No more putting things off until the last minute for me.
 
Let the weekend begin

I'm so tired, but there's a lot that I've got to get done today, if I wanna be able to justify going to a party later tonight. I had my official weigh in this morning, and as you can tell by my ticker, I gained 3.5lbs. I'm thinking it's muscle because all of my measurements have gone down by a half inch so I know I'm losing, even though the scale says otherwise.

Tonight is going to be freaking awesome. I'm headed off to Collegetown with a few friends, and we're going out to a Thai restaurant. Then we're headed off to Cornell's World's Fair. It's basically a huge cultural celebration. After that, it's all fun from there. We've got a few after parties to hit up and I can't wait to get my dance on. While I was home, my baby brother was showing me some of his hot dance steps so I'm ready to bust them out and have a grand old time.

On the subject of the secret admirer, I'm actually pretty cool with it. This isn't the first time I've found out that a girl on campus has had a crush on me, it's just the first time that any of these girls have gone about putting their feelings on paper. I'm actually really flattered by all of the effort she put into making this letter. She colored in the paper. Drew a picture of my plant Ignacio and she even went about typing it out so that I'd be able to read it. I put it up on my closet door. It's a really sweet thing she did for me and I'm not in the least bit offended.

The only reason I chose not to talk to her about the issue is because of my other friend. She told me that the girl that left me the note would be absolutely mortified if she found out that I knew it was her that left that note in my box. So I'm going to continue faking ignorance.

It's sooooo sweet that you're cherishing the love note. That is the nicest thing I've ever heard! It makes me proud when I hear stories of people outliving homophobia. :)
No big deal about the 3.5 lbs if your measurements have gone down! Good job, girl.
 
Hey Phantom,
Just stopping by to say hello to a fellow Spring Flinger :)

Have you checked into the thread yet?
 
I am the opposite. I had to hand my hubby the scales and have him hide them from me untill each Saturday. Pretty pathetic I know.

You can always tell diffenerences in your clothes..etc..so if the scale bugs you let it be.

Best of luck in your journey. We can do this.

We all had a good time

Last night was a lot of fun. Too bad my knee started bothering me, so I couldn't really dance too much. Either way, it was a good time all around. Let's see. First we went to eat dinner at the Thai restaurant. I ordered the spicy basil chicken noodle. Really good and only 380 calories per serving. I had two servings. But I hadn't eaten much all day just so I could enjoy the Thai guilt free. With all that said, I ate a total of 1,454 calories. I'm especially proud of myself because I stayed away from the fried ice cream...which in all of it's heartattack inducing glory, is even tastier than any fried thing I've ever eaten. Ah, only in a perfect world would all of the really unhealthy things be the things that were good for you.

After dinner, we walked on over to the World's Fair cultural exhibit. Saw some Korean fan dancing, an Israeli-Latin dance troop, this group that was all about show tunes and some other really cool things. My friend made a get well soon card for sick kids. We played games that taught us about world hunger and generally just got educated about issues impacting us globally. After that, the adventure began. We spent the better part of 10 minutes getting lost because Cornell is redoing their roads so a lot of streets have been closed down and we had to follow detour road signs that lead us around in a circle.

But finally, we made it to the RPCC building where we got to watch a poetry slam exhibition. It was so good. The students had a lot of different styles, and they even had this dude from Def Poetry Jam come up and throw down a couple of verses. The weird thing, I ran into my cousin who was up visiting his best friend that attends Cornell. We left the poetry slam and headed on over to a music concert featuring this violinst known as the mad violinst. He along with his band play contemporary music. They have no lead vocalist, and instead use the violin as the voice to convey moods. I really liked it.

The dance party was alright. To be honest, it was kinda lame. So my friends and I had to bring the party. But the worst punishment, there were no cute men around or at least we thought so. Tell me why, as soon as we were already in the car leaving the Cornell campus, we see all of these fine men making their way to the party!!! Oh fate how cruel she can be. We debated turning the car around and heading back to the party, but reason won out and we made our way back to campus. All and all, yesterday was a fun night. Now I'm ready to get back to the real world, which means going back to class.

Hahaha, I can totally relate to having to hide the scale from myself. There was a point when I became obsessed with weighing myself everyday. That didn't help me one bit because it just made me crazy when I would see that I'd gained weight. When I took a break from weighing myself, and hoped by on the scale around 2 weeks later, I was pleasantly surprised by a nice 6lb drop.
 
Hello my fellow spring flinger! Glad to be on the same team! Let's get it started!! Good luck to ya
 
Hello there spring fling :) Goos luck with your challenge and lets kick some butt this month! Glad to have you on my team :)
 
I tell ya, I go back and forth between wanting to hide the scale and fearing to hide the scale ;)

I lived for a good 15 years with no scale - and I ummm...gained a few pounds ;) Weighing daily keeps me focused, I know it's going to go up and down from day to day and I STILL haven't put a bullet through the thing!

It's sure tempting at times though!

Interesting Day

I woke up this morning with a surprise at my door. Someone left a poster for me. I don't know who, but there it was, and I love it because its from one of my favorite artists, he does stuff with stick figures and words that I just love, and you can view his work at explodingdog.com. I just love it. I'm only wondering who left it there. After that little surprise, I headed off to the dining hall and had breakfast. Then it was off to the gym. I had the best weight training session ever. I was focused and really felt as though I was working every muscle that I actually wanted to work out. It was really good. I'm having a good day aside from the fact that my lymph nodes are swollen. It kinda feels like I swallowed a basketball. That's the best way to describe it. Oh well, I've gotta head out in a bit. Back to work for me and then it's off to the library to study for an exam.

Breakfast
Oatmeal
0.5 plain bagel
1 tsp of cream cheese
2 wedges of cantaloupe

Lunch
Boca Burger w/ lettuce, spinach, mozzarella cheese, pickles and tomatoes

Snack
1 banana

Dinner
Unknown for the time being.
