Trying to keep up

1/27/2014
            Yesterday I woke up for my 9 AM class and for some reason was exhausted. I started my 4 Hour Body lifestyle. Got up, drank 2 water bottles of cold water. Did like a 3 minute workout and had some protein. Went to class. The professor is hilarious. Apparently, his wife is supposed to have a kid and he said it so casually like he might not be able to make it to class if it happens. But no big deal.
            When I came back from my Spanish class with Prof Johnston, I had an hour till the next class so I tried taking a nap. I’m not so good at naps. Went to my next class, came back, had lunch and watched arrested development.
            Next, I had lunch. Salad and some beans and carrots. I am really trying here with this 4HB thing. I love food, so it’s really difficult. I did some emails and then went to my third class of the day where I will ultimately have to give a presentation. The people I am working with are awesome. The one girl, Jordan, is beautiful. And the guy really wants to do well, but you would never think it because he smokes and drinks and he said that he barely passed all of his classes last year (he went abroad to Spain where GPA didn’t matter).
            It started raining and the cold wind really didn’t help. The weather has been pretty awful lately. I definitely didn’t prepare for this. When I got back, I wanted to start my first day off right. I wanted to go running for 45 minutes and then do 1 insanity video, just like I should do insanity. So, I started running and went to the gym to maybe run on a treadmill because it was raining outside and cold. Everything was taken so not only was I not able to run inside, but by then I took off all of my clothes and cooled down from my run there. I hate when that happens. Well, I ran outside and it turned out nice! Not like the rain, but I enjoyed the run. There is a path that goes around campus and it’s nice because its gravel and through trees and all. I did that for 45 minutes and then came back and did insanity. I am so out of shape. I can’t do pushups anymore. It felt good to finish but all I was looking forward to was that warm shower at the end and then eating. For some reason, eating has become a hobby of mine and I really like it! I don’t know why, and I hope this hobby doesn’t keep up because it is not too healthy.
            Well, I went to take that shower and the water was definitely freezing and was not warming up. I was not prepared but there went my first freezing shower that actually is supposed to be how you shower for 4HB.
            Then I showered and ate and then decided to go to the on campus bar, The Clubhouse. I can’t believe I went, but I did. It was nice to go. Karolina, Ana, John *from Alabama), Jeff and Colin were there. I found out that Jeff is leaving UCD. Mostly, I think it is because he came here with his girlfriend but they broke up….awkward. Well, he’s having a really rough time but damn, like don’t do that.
            All of my friends, I think, think I am so stupid and dumb because I ask how you not know that questions, which I think is pretty funny. I am kind of dumb because it is hard for me to retain knowledge. Whatever, we had a good time. And the music was absolutely awesome!
            I invited my friend, Liam, from our Spanish class. The kid is awesome. He started hanging with us and everyone was getting along and then he asked if anyone wanted to smoke weed. Colin and Jeff were sooooo happy! I totally made this one. I deserve mad props. Colin is like addicted and loves weed. So we smoked and it was great and then Liam decided that he should leave and get more if we were up for it. We got kicked out of the bar while he was getting more and I was going to leave because I didn’t want to smoke but then I felt bad because I invited him and couldn’t just peace out. So, I stayed and then we smoked. He drove us around and we smoked and then went home. It was so nice of Liam to smoke us out. Especially, when it is like double the price for weed here. Colin was so happy because I hooked him up with someone to get weed from.
            At the end of the night I texted him thanking him and he was so sweet. He responded saying, that it was funny because he was going to say the same thing and that he was happy that I invited him and my friends are chill and he feels lucky, because he met me!
            Alright, I will leave you with that J

1/28/2014
            I had my 10 AM this morning and I really wanted to sleep. Like a lot. I went to class and then came back to have lunch. I decided to book a flight to London and was actually freaking out. And I mean, like freaking out. I didn’t know what to do because all of my friends were going, and although I really wanted to go, I also had a different one day trip I was really looking forward to. Glendalough. So, I asked Chelsea and started looking into other trips I wanted to book and found that that would be a good weekend to go and I should, just why not go. At least I would have someone to go with. I kept going back and forth about the entire thing. I ended up booking it! I was really happy and everything started falling into place. Then, I got an email that said that saving my seat was about to expire. I didn’t know what that meant…if I booked it or not. So, I started freaking out and such even more. How great right? Well, I barely got most of my work done and sat in my room all day until my next class. I was planning on finishing the class, a tutorial for my controls class, and then working out. However, I was freaking out about London that I was just stressing and had to call. I found out that it really didn’t go through and I had to rebook it. I think it turned out that it was the same amount, which was good, but definitely not worth the stress.
            Once I got back and no working out, I felt kind of bumpy and sad. I had some dinner which has really consisted of wheat barley and lentils. I like it because it was warm, but it was my second day of 4HB and that quickly went down the tubes because I went for that sweet potato and some peanut butter. Woops!
            I talked to Liam about the presentation we had to give and we started talking for like 30 minutes about our lives. The guy is great! He is so interesting and when I start talking I get so excited. Good motivation, and he has great motivation to do well, which is crazy when you look at him haha
            Chelsea said that I should’ve looked into going into town, but honestly, I was kind of on a time crunch, and I like my room, and my computer goes nowhere cause of the dead battery.
            My next thing was trampoline from 8-10 pm. I met Lani there. She is the girl that is California Irvine and when I had a question, I would ask her. We did some trampolining and I found that it is a very SOCIAL club. Little trampolining involved. I got really tired, as I was all day. I talked to Lani on the way home and right when I walked in my door was ready for bed. I went to grab a snack and nothing was satisfying me and unfortunately, I am going to have to start 4HB tomorrow because I definitely had everything not on that list and didn’t stick to my workout routine. I am sad, but that was a lifestyle I was so used to that it was hard to change. I did it for one day. I am going to start over tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed! I ate so much I felt awful. My goal for tonight was to not wake up in the middle of the night to eat. Well, turns out, at least I accomplished one thing that day! I didn’t and that has been a habit. I am happy to say I conquered one night. I’m ready to change my lifestyle and start a new habit! This way I can look good (hopefully as good as the summer) for when I come home and see Adam! YAY!!!!


PS Liam asked to hang and if I wanted to smoke. Can’t handle another night of that.
