Weeks 3 and 4

This month is a bad month to be on a diet: my boyfriend's birthday, Valentine's Day, my Dad's birthday, and then of course my "birthday" all fall during this month. Whenever I've been dating somebody on Valentine's day, it's been a bust. But my boyfriend wants to go out to dinner this year and I plan to eat something good. His birthday was full of celebrating and this year is a "milestone" birthday for me and I plan to do the same thing for mine...

That being said, week three was kind of a fluke... I lost 5.1 pounds. I think it was because I had actually lost more weight the week before and it just didn't show up because of my gluttony on the weekend. Week four was not as great... It was my boyfriend's birthday on Sunday and we started the celebrating on Saturday. We went to breakfast at Market Street and then for dinner we went to Taste of Thai. I have had two gift certificates to Coldstone for years and there was a coupon in the monthly mailer so we stopped off for some ice cream afterward. Sunday night his Mom made Enchiladas, rice, beans, and bread pudding. Needless to say, I put on 1.3 pounds during week four. This still puts my total weight loss at 6.9 pounds. Not too bad!

Last week was exam week and I had exams in both of my classes (I love it when that happens). I didn't do as well on either one as I would have liked. I did a little better on my physiology exam this semester than last semester but still not good enough... Bah... I'm really "loving" these biology courses. I also "love" it when people ask me how much longer I have in school. Until I can get a C or better apparently... Which will hopefully be this semester since Financial Aid will only pay for it twice unless you outright fail it. Why wasn't I born with a natural inclination toward science???
