P90X Day 4

Todd and I started P90X together this past Monday, so today is day 4. He already wussed out of today's workout because it was stupid yoga. I know it's kind of stupid, but it was a lot of work, and I sweat a lot, so that has to be good, right? I've already lost 2.5 pounds in these first few days. I'm a little sore and tired, but otherwise feel pretty great. I feel extra fat doing some of the yoga moves, though. It's a lot harder to do them when I have a lot of extra stuff in the way. I can't wait until I'm smaller and I'm able to do these things properly.
One of the weird things about this program, is that I'm not really very hungry. I follow the diet guidelines and I'm eating more food than I would have thought to eat on a diet. I eat every few ours and I'm hungry, but not hungry like I was before. Before I was REALLY hungry a lot more often. Now, I'm kinda hungry. It's more a feeling like I know I should eat, more than actual hunger.
Not a lot new going on besides the workout program. One of my classes ended and I passed with 99%. Another class ends in two weeks and I'm sure I'll get an A in that class as well. I have three more classes that run through the end of April. Two I know I'll pass with an A, well one might be a B, but I'm striving for the A. The third class, though, I am really worried about. I have to pass with a C and I just don't know if I can. I am seriously considering dropping it and taking it in the fall semester with a few easier classes. The sad thing is, if I do that, I will be postponing my graduation from May until December. I have been really looking forward to graduating in two months. Kinda sad about this whole thing, but I just can't get up the motivation to really get into this subject. It's tough.

Busy as ever...

Five classes to keep up with and all that... You know how it is... and... We got a bigger bed a few weeks ago, so I'll admit I've been spending a lot more time in bed. I've watched more movies lately than I have in a while. I finally got to see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I wanted to see it for so long. It was pretty good. I'm glad I finally got to see it.
I don't even have much to post about today, but I figure it's been long enough to warrant an update.
Valentine's Day was Todd and my 7 year wedding anniversary. It was a nice day. He surprised me with some Valentine's gifts that I didn't expect. I was supposed to work that day, so he left them in the truck to surprise me and give me a good start to my work day. I ended up calling in sick instead. In my defense, I was kind of sick to start with, but I felt better after a little while. We actually took the boys and went and visited with my mom. We never really go there since it is a bit of a drive. It was okay. The visit wasn't too bad and the drive was pretty nice. Then, Todd and I took another drive today. We drove about 40 miles away. Not a long drive, but it was kind of relaxing and nice.

I just tried to sign in to type a new post. It took me about five minutes, and I was getting pissed off. Apparently my email address that I know I use for this site, was not a registered username. It was to the point that I went to my email account in all of my old emails that confirm registrations and stuff and was looking for my username. I gave up and decided to give it one more try when I realized that two of the letters were mixed up... Nice.
So, I've lost a little more weight. I'm happy. I'm not putting a ton of effort into exercising at home right now. I do the workouts during my fitness class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Also, in the next week or so, my husband and I are staring an exercise program called P90X. I'm excited about it. A little nervous, too, though.
School is going well. Lots of stuff to do, of course. In about two weeks, I'm going to Accounting Day at Northwood University. Sounds like a dork-fest, huh? I am really looking forward to it, though. I will have my Associate's Degree from Delta in just a fw months. I am going to continue on another year at Delta and then transfer for my last year at Northwood to get my Bachelor's Degree. I have been back and forth the past few months on what I plan to do about my education. I eman, sure I could get the two-year degree adn take some time before coming back to do the remaining two years of the four-year degree. But in the meantime, I would have to get a job and start repaying my student loans. Also, anymore a two-year degree isn't considered much better than a high school diploma. So, I have finally made the decision to just keep at it and get teh four-year degree with no time off. It has both positive aspects and a few drawbacks. A big drawback is that I was really looking forward to having some time off from studying, but at the same time it is better to continue while it is all still so fresh in my mind. Another drawback is that I have made a few obligational promises to be fulfilled once I graduate which are now going to be postponed another two years. I'm sure it isn't going to be a big issue, but it is a little disappointing, especially to the people to whom I made these promises.
My Dad called me the other day. I was really surprised to get a call from him. He called about this postcard that Luc had sent to him about ordering magazine subscriptions from school. I talked to him for probably half an hour. It was nice that he called, but now he probably won't again for another few months. I just don't get it.

198.5!!!

Holy shit!! I can even see a difference!! I wanna cry I'm so happy!

202.5!!!!!

Before my class on Thursday (really, only Thursday??)... I weighed myself before I went to school for the physical assessment that day. I weighed 206. I weighed myself at the college wearing more clothes and my tennis shoes and after eating lunch, and it said 209. I have really been staying away from foods I shouldn't eat and excess food that I would normally eat just because it's good. Every day at school, I do TONS of walking beyond the actual fitness class, and work is constant movement, too. Three and a half pounds! I have a big smile that I just can't quit.

Another Friday...

School was canceled for the boys today because of how cold it is. That's kind of dumb. It didn't snow again, so I think it was a waste of a snow day. It didn't matter for Luc, though, he wasn't going to go today because he got suspended. From Kindergarten. Again. I just don't know what I'm going to do with that boy.
Classes are going well. Lots of work, but that was expected.
Benny is pulling all of the pots and pans out of the cupboard as I type this. He is getting so big and using so many words now. It's so amazing to think he was just a little tiny baby not so long ago. Now, he tells me when he wants to "nuh-nite" and goes and lays on my side of the bed. He is so incredibly sweet. I love when he's falling asleep and he rubs his soft little hands on my neck or my face. Love just radiates from my little man.
I have to work tonight and tomorrow night. I wasn't scheduled for tomorrow, but I'm covering for someone. The extra money will come in handy. Especially since my pay checks aren't even big enough to pay my energy bill unless I use two pay checks for one energy bill.
Not too much else going on right now. My Mom is laid off from work for a few months, so I can already see her drinking increasing. That isn't good since she already drinks every evening. This past week was her first week being laid off and she has called me trashed and lonely twice already. In four days!
I haven't heard from my Dad in quite a while. I don't think I will ever understand that man. That's about all I have to say about him.

How awesome is this??
