101 Way to Waste an Entire Sunday...

Or rather just one incredibly boring, miserable, depressing, and obnoxious way. Defensive driving.

My car insurance policy just renewed and my car insurance jumped more than $20/month. I said WTF!? Called my agent up, priced different policies and basically realized I'm just screwed. In November of 2009 I had a car accident where I hydroplaned into an oncoming car and the insurance paid out about $20,000 for my injuries, Alyse's injuries, the injuries to the lady I hit, and then the property damage... SCREWED! So really there is nothing cheaper for me out there.

So in a move that I'm not sure if it was genius or stupid, I said the my bff Rachel, instead of going out to breakfast Sunday morning why don't we do that online defensive driving course? Rachel has a driving record that rivals DMX's arrest history- so I know she could use it too. 

So Rachel got to the house around 8 o'clock this morning. It's 12:57 and we still have A LOT of material left to cover. This stupid program makes you click a button like every minute and a half and you can't go onto the next slide until a certain amount of time has passed. Not a good situation for two people who are certified speed readers.

This picture about sums up our excitement. 

So.. In weight loss news.. I'm down 105 pounds. Crazy right? I'm wearing mostly 12's on bottom and XL on top... Even have a L or two thrown in there thanks to Alyse.

Alyse and I went shopping yesterday and I got a lot of dresses. I'm so into dresses this summer.  For how cold I was all winter long I didn't think I would be so hot this summer. So the dresses are a nice way to keep cool. 

I'm going to a fish fry tonight for my uncles birthday. Hopefully Adam gets out of work in time and he can make it. I haven't seen him since Wednesday and I miss him. Young love and all that nonsense... Except it really doesn't feel like nonsense!

In happy news, I've aced this semester and am expecting to maintain my stellar GPA.

I find myself sort of struggling lately with food choices. It's not that I crave unhealthy food or need it or anything. I just feel sort of bored with all the things I've spent the last seven months chewing. I'm craving a bigger variety but lack the funds and the know how to spice it up beyond what I have. 

And for someone who never craved candy, I sure have been keeping frozen peanut M&Ms on hand. I only have 3-5 at a time, but I know it's not a good thing to do. 

And munching. The munching monster has returned. I've tried to make it healthy munching, grapes, cherries, baby carrots... But the other day at work I brought tuna for lunch and dang it all, cool ranch Doritos and tuna have always been one of my favorites and I just had to have some with the tuna... So I did.

I feel like reaching the 100 pounds lost has totally sort of made me not as focused anymore. I have about 45 pounds to go to reach my original personal goal of 160 pounds. And I totally think I will do that before my surgiversary December 5th. could maybe even do it by my birthday (10/30) if I really buckled down, ate right, and started exercising agian.

And exercise... Ugh. Pretty much since I started dating Adam it went out the window. I was already so stressed and busy and throwing in another thing just didn't work and I had to let something go. The gym it was. I don't regret it either. I've still lost twenty pounds in the two months we've been dating and I'm happy about that. There is a small part of me that wonders "Hey, if you had kept at the gym would it be 30 pounds by now?" But hey- live and learn.

Now that the semester is over though I will make an effort to get to the gym at least twice a week. I'm not liking the sound my arm makes when it makes contact with my side when I'm fresh out of the shower. Makes me want to vomit, so I need to tighten them up some. 

Well, that's about it for now. 

Back to defensive driving... Blech.
