Hi,
I know, long time no blog. I have been extremely occupied. Where to start...
My social calendar is picking up which is great, but I can't do everything :(. I am starting to think that I have too many friends Ha ha. Nah, I love them all. :) They know who they are. I will sometimes get comments such as 'How do you know that person??' Next time I will just say I'm everywhere shh ;)
School is getting a bit stressful. I have yet to get into the swing of things. I am such a procrastinator!! I keep feeling like I will never leave my desk chair yet I find other things to do. Two of my 8 week courses have started so I have to structure my time better.
Weight Loss Goals- I have made it to a new benchmark and no, I will not display it here but I am 20 pounds to my ideal weight. If I get there, I MAY go for 20 more. It will depend on how I look and feel. I have exercised once hence the time management issue and I might as well wake up earlier and just do it. I know some of you might laugh and I don't care. :p If you remember my post on Facebook about my having to drink about 10 cups of water a day, I haven't done it yet. I think I came pretty close and it didn't bother me too much. I think I had too much salt in my body because I just kept it in EKK. So.. watch your salt intake!! A friend that I am lucky enough to converse with in Alberta via IM once in a great while has told me I have lost some weight. I told him I haven't lost any more since we last talked. He mentioned muscle mass replacing lipid mass (fat). I'm thinking 'Where?? My face??' Lol. It's a compliment regardless.
Electrocardiography class peeve- Ok, now I have to let this out. I was working with a group of women. Grown women like myself and they knew what this class was about. We had to wear T-shirts and use a marker to mark specific areas on the shirt where some areas of the ribs are and where the leads would go along with some lines. Only one other person was up for doing this lab assignment and 3 other women became automatic prudes.'Oh I don't know how or really want to draw on her'or 'I don't want to be touched' We had white shirts over our clothes!! I took over by taking the marker and found all the spots on the other student on the bed. See? All done without being inappropriate. My teacher came in and said soon we will have to bare and use actual leads on each other wearing sports bras and I could picture them mentally freaking out and I just thought to myself 'why are you taking this class if you are not willing to touch people? Really?' Rant over.

Happy New Year!
Hello everyone!
I know, I haven't posted in a while. I have been a little busy with finals, the holidays and keeping up with my social calendar. I hope everyone had a great holiday.
My first semester at Lakeland ended on a great note with straight A's. :D Even though it was only 2 classes, I consider it a great accomplishment after not being in school for 5 years. This coming semester I will be attempting 7 credits which will be broken up into 3 classes. Biology has 4 credits along with the lab which starts on the 13th. My electrocardiography (2 c/h) and computer (1 c/h) classes won't start until the 15th of March which is after midterms.
What have I learned in 2013? I have learned that sometimes you outgrow people and that is a simple fact of life. The people who misinterpret you just don't take the time to get to know you; are probably jealous or ill-advised. As the saying goes, I ain't got time for that. People worth keeping will always stick around. If you want to know how I am doing or want get to know me, go to the proper source: ME! :)
What are my New Year's resolutions? Doing my best not to sweat the small stuff, keeping myself healthy, and working out. Yea, everyone says they want to work out and diet at the first of the year and then fall off the wagon later on. I, first of all, don't use the word 'diet' but I am dropping red meat and pork from my overall normal diet. I noticed that I don't eat much of it so why bother? When I go out, I usually order dishes with mushrooms or chicken. I will continue to consume dairy, eggs, poultry and seafood. Remember my previous blog about working out and Bolthouse drinks? I'm still drinking those as well along with water and tea sweetened with honey. I'm slowly easing myself into the clean eating zone. Maybe I will feel better physically.
I wish everyone the best year ever!
