Good Morning! I made it through yesterday, Day 1.... again just fine. I am in a better mood than I was yesterday when I just wanted to crawl under a rock. I bombed that algebra test. I know I did. She drops the lowest test grade so that will just have to be my drop grade. I payed REALLY close attention to the next section and took good notes and am going to do my homework tonight while its still fresh on my mind.... the quadratic formula - yuck! I had horrible nightmares last night. It has been almost a month since my wreck and I still dream about hitting cows or dead cows in the road. Last night I dreamed it was night and I passed a dead cow on the road. I was going to turn around and look for the brand so I could call the owner and before I could stop and turn around there was another one so I drove up a little further and there were dead cows all over the highway. It was awful. I still can't drive on that highway at night over 40 mph and I am a nervous wreck by the time I get home. What did I say I weighed yesterday? 215.6 I believe. Well this a.m. I am 213.0. I have no doubt in my mind that had I not cheated I would be well below 208 by now. My middle sister is about to have alot of trouble with her weight. She is 24 and her dr put her on Aderol for ADD... which is pretty much speed. Well she could focus, started doing great at her job and started losing weight. She went from 180 to 145 and she is about 5'6" so that is a good weight for her. Anyways her and her husband have decided to start trying for baby #2 and so she needs to get off of the Aderol (spelling?). She is having a really hard time with it. I told her when she started it that it was a very addictive drug. She said she feels like she is in a fog and she is angry and stressed all the time. Plus she gained 7 pounds in a week. I worried about that with her too. When she lost all this weight she did it because she wasnt hungry so she might just eat a small bag of cheetos all day and that's it. Now that her appetite is back she doesnt know how to eat the right things and she hasn't built healthy habits. I don't want to be this way. If I follow the Atkins phases the way I am supposed to do I will find a healthy balance. Lately for me its been induction or an all out carb binge and if I don't change that then I will just gain all of my weight back. I am going to do better. :)

Amanda, I think you hit on a very important topic here. "Lately for me its been induction or an all out carb binge". Sounds like there is a possibility that your adherance to a strict induction is causing some boredom and/or frustration. Maybe you should really think about looking into moving up in Atkins. This will allow for more options and could very well give you enough variations to keep you motivated. Worth a try.

I need to dig my book out again and see what I can add that I actually like. I like nuts and I have been eating peanuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds all along. I have carrots now and then. Okay, scratch teaching. I am going for a HR degree. I can't afford to go to school and not work and with teaching you have to do two semesters of residency and internship. That means 2 semesters that I can't work. I don't see how I could do that. I enjoy HR and it is what I was going for to begin with. I have only taken one teaching class, intro to teaching. The reason I took the class was to explore my options before I had to declare my major. Well I can take 90% if not all of the classes towards an HR degree online at Texas A&M Commerce so that is what I will go for. Whew, that takes a load off, just knowing what it is that I want to do. I hate making big decisions.

Really? 90% online? How nice Amanda. I believe the rest of my classes are all in person, which really sucks because I am trying to get them done in the Spring semester. I'm sure you are going to love the HR degree considering this is what you have been doing anyway.

I loved working with people in HR. Your job in not just crunching numbers all day as you do in Accounting. It's going to be hard but I can do it. In the whole degree plan I only found 4 classes that were not offered online in the Spring. They may be available online as well just not offered next semester. I will have 65 hours as of this fall and you can only transfer 60 or 66 from a junior college so I may have to go ahead and transfer this time. I may be able to squeeze one more semester out of my junior college because some of my classes that will transfer are not needed for the HR degree... Intro to Teaching.... okay maybe just one. Well my Spanish class too. So if I don't let those transfer then that will give me a few more hours I could take at PJC. A&M will be ALOT more expensive than PJC that's for sure! That's awesome that you are about to finish Keli! Good for you!!!
