bananandrea Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Spezzy. I think you just posted that so you could be the first one on my second page lol. HIIII! Crooked: Thanks. I am unfortunately being more human that I would like. The downside to spending so much time with Grandparents, especially a grandmother that cooks when she is sad: Is she cooks. A lot. And it's not like its acceptable to her to not eat what she spent hours cooking. So my Paleo is on hold for a week. BUT positive side: I am doing a lot more exercise than I normally would. I am jump roping. And playing ping pong. And walking. Its been awesome. That's about it. Wish this challenge was going better, but I guess I wish my life was going better too. You guys are all awesome though! You help me keep goin! Thanks, y'all.

citabean Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 BUT positive side: I am doing a lot more exercise than I normally would. I am jump roping. And playing ping pong. And walking. Its been awesome.This is an awesome positive! I'm proud of you!That's about it. Wish this challenge was going better, but I guess I wish my life was going better too. You guys are all awesome though! You help me keep goin! Thanks, y'all. Hey, buttercup, things will get back to normal soon enough. You're doing what you can, and that is what matters most. The fact that you realize what you're doing is 99% of the battle. AND, you are totally winning with doing some exercise to battle grandma's cooking. I think, with everything going on... you are doing awesome at this challenge! STR 5 * DEX 5.5 * STA 12.5 * CON 7.75 * WIS 7.75 * CHA 3 My Fitness Pal Link to comment
Alethea Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 What Citabean said. You can only do so much, lady! Be proud of what you are managing, despite everything else. And good for you for spending time with your Grandmother. You're a good granddaughter. "Let another say. 'Perhaps the worst will not happen.' You yourself must say. 'Well, what if it does happen?

bananandrea Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Awwww you guys are just so darn sweet! I did a lot of walking today. Went to watch my cousin ride, and instead of driving her truck the like 1/2 mile to the fairgrounds like she offered, I just walked next to her horse. I also played a hardcore game of ping pong against my mom. Also. I might be going to pick pears with my grandpa. SO. I think I am getting exercise. I am excited to start back Paleo on Sunday though. OH! And I busted out of my shell and made a new friend on Reddit. I know its just the internets but hey. It is a start right?

bananandrea Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 So. This weekend went well for me... but with Monday came more troubles. I lost my job. Eep. So the job search begins again. I had this job for 7 months and I freaking loved it and I was good at it and stuffs. Ugh. I would love SOMETHING to go right this month. :"( Make today your someday~~~"It's a lifestyle - train like there's no finish line~~~"I hated every minute of training, but I said, don't quit.

bananandrea Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Sooo. This challenge is half over and I give myself a D so far with some room for improvement. I am moving this weekend so then I shoudl be able to cook and stuffs. That should help. I also won't have to pay rent so when I get a job I can take a little time to catch up money wise. Ugh. But I am going to try that crazy head/handstand challenge... Lets hope I don't break something.

bananandrea Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Oh mi gosh. Today was amazing. Walked around A TON. Walked around the "East Village Bazaar"- Basically an arts/crafts market in the artsy/trendy part of our downtown. Then we walked all around downtown and then went to lunch and then walked the long way back to the car. Walked around Target, then went for a 2 mile walk around the lake. All in all very successful day. Helped me get over some of the stuff going on in my life right now. This weeks goals: Go through stuff and throw away at least 3 garbage bags of stuff. Finish resume/cover letters. Apply to lots of jobs. Clean the apt I am staying in.

bananandrea Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hahahahaha. Oh thank you for making me laugh. And boys don't always suck. I just think that you have to be in a right point in your life for a relationship and both of us are not in that point. He is focusing on his job and career and other things in his life, and I am trying to figure stuff out and better myself. But I agree with your nerd fitness = good statement. I would be sooo out of whack without y'all :) Make today your someday~~~"It's a lifestyle - train like there's no finish line~~~"I hated every minute of training, but I said, don't quit.
