I don't know where all the college people met their group of new best friends because all my 'friends' are fake.
a few a met through my department. they were nice, funny, but kept to themselves, acted like selfish jerks, etc. they don't talk to me unless talked to. and in general, i've learned that i don't really appreciate their company.
there's a few acquaintances i made through classes that didn't last past the class ending.
i have one friend i have lunch with like once a month, who seems like we'll be really close but then she gets too busy to talk.
i have another friend who seems like we could be real friends but she lives in a different dorm than me and it makes it hard since we don't have any classes together and we really have to go out of our way to make our schedules mesh.
but with only 2 seemingly real friends, and the rest just fakes? what kind of life is that?
and i don't mean fake, like it seems like we're good friends but they're really just gossiping bitches or something, no. its not like that.
its like, we say hi when we see each other. and maybe have a quick chat, but nothing more. we say we're friends, but we don't actually spend the quality time that it would take to make us real friends. plus i feel like i can't talk to them about real issues without making it sound like i'm being whiny.

i suck at motivation
so this diet and exercise thing left just as quickly as it came. in general i'm trying to drink more water and eat less crap. but i still have hot cocoa and candy and pizza every once in a while. I'm still not really exercising and not getting enough sleep
BLURGH
i am going to look like crap in hawaii. i would say "i'll just wait until i get home" but there's no way i'll be able to pull amazing midsection and smaller boobs in 2 weeks. abs are more possible, but even if i build all the muscle up, there will be a layer of fat over it- which is why i would need cardio.
i dont like this. :/

Fitness day..10?
I'm starting to get back on track for my diet.
chex cereal
soy milk
water.
like 5 pringles.
dark chocolate.
I need to make a real point of exercising every day in the lame-o dorm gym. Its close, I'll go for even just a half an hour a day. I need to. Its necessary.

day 9
i'm really sucking at this fitness thing.
part of a streudel
chex cereal and soy milk
nut bar
ramen- so much sodium
chex mix
bowl of chocolate ice cream with peanut butter and hot fudge in a waffle cone bowl
pretzels and cream cheese
small square of lasagna
awesome fruit smoothie: 100% juice, strawberries, mangoe, peaches, part of a banana, kiwi. I was disappointed that we didn't have any kale or spinach for me to throw in
2 cookies i felt gross eating.
this was not a great day for food. This will be easier when i'm back on campus and picking an apple over cereal is so much easier.
i tried doing the harry potter work out today. it was hard! and it was weird when i wasn't moving. I fast forwarded though some parts, and in the end I just got bored. I probably exercised for like 20 minutes/half hour at most.
I decided not to go to the show with my mom and sister. 1 part of me is like, i missed spending time with my mom. but while i was home i packed up the majority of my stuff, worked on a paper, and picked a prose piece for an assignment, sorted laundry, etc. and I would've been dragged to mom's friend's party and apparently everyone was really drunk and racist. So I'm glad I stayed home.
I had yet another argument with my boyfriend. and when i finally called him, everything was better. everything is better when i can hear his voice. he doesn't get how powerful that is for me. very powerful. We fight more over text. we fight less when we hear what the other is saying, and tone of voice, etc. I hope we stay together. I need him to be here for me. I just need him to be more supportive. and if he can't do that, then I'm afraid it would be time to let him go. He would be making everything more difficult for me when he is supposed to be making it easier.
but the phone call went very well so that makes me happy.
I think I'll go to bed now. You need a good night's sleep if you want to get healthy now.
tomorrow i will write another page of my essay and type up the parts of the book i want to use for my prose. Then i will finish packing up and be on my way, back to school.

day 8
I did a bunch of crunches this morning before I took a shower.
and then my sister and i shopped for 4 hours, which was exhausting. I think that counts as a workout, right? I was up and moving for 4 hours
food log
rice chex cereal
soy milk
2 fried eggs
2 toasted wheat bread slices
1 piece of colby jack cheese
1 sprinkle of mozzarella cheese
power bar
popcorn
1/4 cup rice left overs
1/16 piece of garlic bread
wheat toast with chunky peanut butter
dark chocolate m&ms (i finished off the bag >< )
I've noticed that the more I am at home, the LESS fruit I eat. partly because the majority of the fruit we have is frozen, for smoothies. and also because no one has time to grocery shop for anything.
So tomorrow is saturday and I have yet to figure out how exactly I will be getting home on sunday.
I could drive and then decide if i want to come home next weekend. Staying through the week is sounding pretty good right about now. However, If i take the BUS, then that means when I do eventually go home, I won't have a car, but I will have lots of laundry that needs to be done. I could a) put all the laundry in my duffle bag and just wash it when I get home, take the bus again. or b) I could drive and park it for over a week....
either way i have to figure it out SOON.

Fitness day 7
starting off not too bad
chex/corn flakes in my cereal. both gluten free. (still not convinced that i have a clean bill of health)
vitamins.
handful of pringles ><
mango sorbet
peanuts
chicken noodle soup. (100 calories a serving)
5 crackers, i discovered they weren't good soup crackers :/
dark chocolate m&ms.
a LOT of water. It feels like i'm drowning! but all the websites say that the continued drinking of water helps flush out that water weight. and god knows i just love to dehydrate myself. Lets hope this works.
one half of a chocolate chip english muffin with strawberry cream cheese
a single serving size bag of kettle korn.
going to work out at the gym with my mom soon. That is a step in the right direction, both for my health and for my mom.
I hope if I stretch out my left leg enough I'll be able to do the cardio that I need. Yesterday I wasn't able to do more than like 10 minutes because of the Achilles. Hopefully today will be better. and i'll be working harder that's for sure.
at the gym, this time my foot acted up. the muscles in my instep as well as on the top of it were pulling, making it hard to go on the elliptical. however, i did go for over 25 minutes. 2 miles. 200 calories. I realized i run faster when i'm watching tv versus when i'm just listening to my ipod.
then i did 500 meters on the rowing machine.
then i did some chest presses, leg presses, one 'ab' machine. it didn't seem to be working. the assisted lift machine as well as doing 100 crunches! yea yea!
I should make a goal to do 100 crunches a day. or every night before i go to bed. Stomach definition is what i'm going for, and while I realize to get the stomach I want it is a combination of fat-burning cardio and muscle training, it'll be easier to get that toned midsection once i tone those muscles. I only have 7 weeks left to lose the 10 lbs and so far I'm not off to a great start. I need to lose a pound an a half every week to make that happen. So I REALLY have to watch what i'm eating and exercise more and harder- assuming my legs don't give me anymore trouble, and I just need to bust it out. Eating the way I normally would and just exercising more often, will only help a little. Especially when you're hungry after exercising and you eat back all the calories you just lost. or even adding more than you lost.
I hope I can keep motivated and keep moving. >< I want to look awesome. I want to fit into my bras. I want to lose 10 lbs. and I can do it. I just need to make some serious cut backs.

dream
Last night i had this dream.
I was on a theatre trip of some kind?
there was a hotel.
my friend katie snuck in, which doesnt make sense since she's in theatre too. she was wearing all black like in those spy movies. it was funny.
we were all going to a dance. and apparently i had already worn my really nice dress so i ended up wearing a denim dress. and everyone else was beautiful and i looked homely.
and then we were at a thrift store wearhouse. and they were giving us free stuff. and they gave me this kinda ugly sweater that supposedly went with my outfit. they made me wear it .
we went to this show. it started off a wicked-type production, wicked witch of the west but it wasn't a musical and then suddenly is was about peter pan. hagrid popped out of a clam shell next to me, and spoke his lines and grabbed my arm. freaky.
i went to the bathroom at the theatre to see how i looked. stupid. my boyfriend was talking to me through the phone even though we were just texting and he could see how i looked even though i didn't have the camera on. i felt weird. i turned the phone off.
and then i was in an upstairs hallway with some friends. boys i think. naming the darling kids. "william peter wendy john" (its clearly john wendy peter micheal, but my brain is special)
and we said it over and over again.
and then we were downstairs, all the theatre kids sitting cross legged. and someone asked something like, who is attractive. or who would you want to be with. and all the guys said "megan" this really pretty, snobbishly popular, full of herself girl in my department. and then other people sporadically yelled out other peoples names. no one yelled out mine. i felt unloved
and then i kept seeing this guy, in the theatre department who is sweet and tall and gives warm loving hugs. though i've only had like 2 (in real life). and he's way to old for me AND I HAVE A BOYFRIEND...
and in this DREAM. i kept staring at him because i wanted him to hold me.
and when i woke up, and it wasn't true. i was kinda sad. i realized that i want a guy who's tall and kinda strong who can really hold me tight. (it would be and added bonus for someone who understands theatre and knows what show choir is and streetcar named desire, but isn't necessary). someone who knows exactly how to comfort me. someone who knows when to talk and when to listen and can carry on intelligent and funny conversations. someone who knows jokes. someone who inspires me. someone who thinks i'm beautiful and talented. someone who is in a field I support. someone with similar beliefs and political views. someone who's going to be around for the long haul. someone who makes the grand gesture at least once. or buys flowers or chocolate. that is the guy i want. and i have a feeling he doesn't exist.
at the same time, i am a horribly selfish human being who only cares about herself and her needs and not the needs of the other person. so even if he was perfect, i wouldn't be ready for him. :(
I have a boyfriend. i feel terrible having these thoughts because my boyfriend is a wonderful human being. and he's probably the closest i'll ever get to that perfect guy. but i can't help but wonder, what it would be like somewhere else. with someone close by. with someone who maybe fits that description.
maybe...

day 6
today was another bad day as far as my diet is concerned.
food log
cheerios
soy milk
apple
white rice
soy sauce
sweet and sour-esque chicken (only had a few pieces)
apple
protein bar
banana
2 crackers
chocolate covered graham cracker
3 chocolate kisses
bowl of popcorn
half a bar of chocolate
a truffle
a ferrero roche chocolate
pringles
a bite of sorbet.
yea.. I went overboard.
Even though the day in general was good, just the ending that wasn't.
math class was fine
therapy, lots of crying. more divided feelings about my mother and our non-relationship. I'm very at war with this and my emotions and everything that is going on, etc.
spotted the on campus petting zoo.
stagecraft boring
quick lunch
moved stuff to car
PETTING ZOO PARTY. I got to pet: 5 goats, 1 mama sheep, 1 Zebu, 2 lambs, 1 alpaca, 1 pony, 1 llama, and i saw three chickens but didn't pet them.
The lambs were so sweet and little and their fur was so soft. one of them licked my finger. another one "baah"ed when i said goodbye. so adorable <3
last class of the day was cut short, got to come home early.
mom was on an, "we're having guests over" rampage. and was just a bitch to everyone.
i tried to talk to emma about it in the car but she was too busy defending mom, or herself or whatever.
we fought. again.
she went to work out. i stayed in the car.
i called my boyfriend, sobbing, for support.
all he could say was "i'm not going to know what that feels like"
all he should of said was "its awful and i know its unfair but i love you and i'll always love you"
sigh.
and then i came home and ate all that chocolate.
on the health side: this is what my workout consisted of
10ish minutes on the elliptical. burned 115 calories. my Achilles tendon was pulled in a weird way making it hard to work on the elliptical. I didn't want to pull it and put me out of exercising. I think my hip may be out of alignment also. My stride didn't feel natural.
I burned 30 calories on the rowing machine, now with real water. not even kidding. it was hard work but i liked it.
I tried the bike but my leg was still bothering me so i burned like 15 calories there. then i did some chest presses, leg presses, worked on the assisted lift machine, as well as did as many crunches as my body could handle. Having a trim stomach is the main thing I'm working towards. I don't care so much that i'm a size 6/8. or That i have big boobs (though i would like to be able to fit back into my bras again. I'm popping out!). I really just want a lean midsection. So i'm not spilling out over the top of my jeans, or have the very awkward looking 'doughnut hole".
I definitely didn't work as hard as I would've liked, since I couldn't do as much cardio.

day 5
calves are doing much better, but my eating habits are worse. I'm trying to reign myself back in.
food log
honey nut cheerios
soy milk
water
apple
nut crunch bar
half of a puppy chow bar
corn dog
mac and cheese
soft pretzel
3 thin mint cookiea
I feel really bad about those. I shouldn't have had them. but i'm countering them with:
apple and broccoli salad, as well as- only having fruit for dinner tonight.
1 small all fruit smoothie.
around 20 minutes ago i became ferociously hungry. I tried to make it go away with water but no luck
6in subway sandwhich, weat bread loaded with veggies.
I think my problem with today is that at lunch, i expanded my stomach so much that It felt emptier later, but that is just a theory. maybe if i continuously eat those smaller meals, I'll be fuller. Hopefully.
After all. I will be busy from 3:45-5:45 and then 7:00-10ish. I'd technically have an hour for lunch but i'm not going to push it.
I'm considering going to the gym after the show. I am SOOOOO stressed out.
but i have too much homework to work out, seemingly.
thankfully my 3:45-5:45 event got cancelled, more time to focus on homework. but this homework is SO FRUSTRATING. i dont know what to do

Fitness Day 4
I'm sad to say I really haven't exercised in the past two days or so. It's all because I pushed myself too hard and didn't stretch enough before and after exercising. Also because calf muscles are of the most important muscle for exercising, ya know, being in your legs and all. and most exercising involving your legs.
I'm trying really hard today to eat healthier and to eat LESS. that is my biggest problem. snacking and portion size. Everyone has the mentality that they need to finish what is on your plate, but the plates in the dining center are HUGE. so of course, i get more cookies or breaded crap or whatever to 'fill me up' when I was probably full like 30 minutes and 3 cookies ago. I think this diet/fitness plan is going to be very psychological for me. I just need to be able to overcome cookies and sweets and their power over me. I can have them, but in small doses.
Food log
Breakfast
original size all fruit jamba juice smoothie
mid morning snack
hummus and pretzels- which were super filling!
glass of water. (i need more water)
banana
apple slices and peanut butter
a small smoothie
'spicy italian' sandwhich loaded with veggies. easy on the meat. no condiments.
over all a pretty successful day.
I went to the rec center for the first time today with my friend Katie. We walked around the track for a while. Then we went 25/30ish minutes on the elliptical. Then we walked some more. We jogged one lap. lots of stretching and water. then we got smoothies because 1. lots of vitamins. 2. SHE HAD NEVER HAD A SMOOTHIE IN HER WHOLE LIFE. i have never heard of this. this is unheard of. I was appalled and made her get smoothies on the double. Then the 6in subway sandwiches. I am very full. I almost regret having the sandwich so soon, or doing the smoothie with the sandwich. Hopefully this means It will tie me over so I won't be hungry any more for the whole night!
Feeling good
I'm trying really hard today to eat healthier and to eat LESS. that is my biggest problem. snacking and portion size. Everyone has the mentality that they need to finish what is on your plate, but the plates in the dining center are HUGE. so of course, i get more cookies or breaded crap or whatever to 'fill me up' when I was probably full like 30 minutes and 3 cookies ago. I think this diet/fitness plan is going to be very psychological for me. I just need to be able to overcome cookies and sweets and their power over me. I can have them, but in small doses.
