Paige E's Journal, 12 Feb 09

Hi Everyone!!!

I've missed you all! I hope all is good on the diet and health front for everyone. I can't wait to spend some time catching up on some journals.

I am so sorry that I have been gone for almost two weeks!! ARGHH!! I joined all of these challenges and then, just like that, I disappeared. I have just been so busy with school...I didn't have time to fool around on here....And boy, did I miss it! Well, today I handed in a huge project and I thought, "What do I want to do to reward myself?" And the answer was, "Check in with my FS buddies and get up to date on all the happenings." So here I am.

Diet wise, I am doing pretty well. Started induction again (I joined a challenge, after all. And even though I didn't check in here, I was true to the challenge!! :) ). That has been going pretty good. I'll weigh in tomorrow, so we'll see how that has gone. I did eat a couple onion rings at lunch today...but overall, I've pretty much stuck to it.

I'm eating a lot of nuts. They are portable and easy food on the go. Which is hard to find on Atkins. And since I'm going a lot, it has become a basic food group for me. I know that is probably slowing down losses..but its better than the alternative would be - which is to grab chips and sandwiches. And they are satisfying, so a handful takes me a long ways.

That's about it for me. Nothin else but school work in my life these days. I don't know how people work on their master's degree and have full time jobs. I am only working 25-30 hours a week and taking three classes and I am completely overwelmed. I constantly feel like I'm behind. But I'm beginning to realize that I can do this, too. Last night we got back an assignment in our research class. I was disappointed that I got 13 out of 15 points. I am used to getting perfect grades most of the time - especially when it involves writing or analytical writing. But during the break I talked to the other students in the class and I realized I must have gotten the best grade in the class. So I was feeling pretty good when I left.

Have a good evening all!! Its good to be back!!

Welcome back Paige - I too am busy writing in my spare time. TV was killing my writing so my cable is off as of this Tuesday. I'm not an aspiring actor really unless maybe my books get made into movies I could do a cameo or something so unlike the average person it's a waste of time for me. I see you're SO BUSY. That is good it keeps one's mind off of the nonsense in life that isn't important sometimes. I may take a class in the fall if I save up some money, I can't get a loan I've been told for some lame reason. I'm low income but not that low - maybe if I go to my bank I'm thinking as I want to do a continuing ed class and no one will give me a loan for it. Hope you have continued success in school. College only leads to success in life...

Glad you're hanging in there with the food plan. I've been snacking on nuts too. They are a convenient snack and are good for you. Kudos on the good job you're doing in school too! Rock On!! :)
