Feeling Fat

Yeah so I was losing weight and I was feeling good about myself. I was losing about 1 - 2 pounds a weight which is normal but then I stopped doing what I was doing. I feel off the wagon. And now I back where I started from. FAT!!!
 
It doesn't help to not eat...because eating food actually helps you to lose weight. But it of course it can't be yucky food. There are so many rules to the world of dieting or as I call it healthy eating. After awhile healthy foods does not cut the cravings.
 
Anyways what I am trying to say. I went to a store thinking I going to buy new pants well the sizes began to increase as I had to keep trying on pants. Because they were to tight....it's depressing. I should shop at the fat girl stores.
 
It doesn't help the husband is a body builder who can eat anything he wants and not gain fat. He looks good no matter what. Myself I eat and I pay for it.
 
I need to be placed on an island with no food. And then I can lose weight.

What a Day!!

What a day I tell you?
 
I woke up and I didn't have any of my new favorite cereal left (All Bran Guardian with psyllium fiber)...believe me it is so good. Anyways I have maple and brown sugar for breakfast. It was ok but it wasn't what I wanted.
 
I climbed back into bed with the portable DVD player and I watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I figure I have my exam today I might as well take it easy. Because I can't study anything and remember it so I didn't. I finished the movie around 10am ish and I packed up my backpack and walked to school in the rain. Not bad.
 
I meet up with nursing pals, Kendra and Pam and they review some of the material and I am feeling ok. Then at around 11:15am I go to the nursing office to pick up my final eval...well the instructor didn't put anything on my eval...worthless and I couldn't say anything because there were 2 other students in there...sucks. So I signed for it. I know the stupid thing to do. What's worse she only gave me a B....I did more work than a B. But I am hoping my midterm mark, my paper and my OSCE's will help my final mark.
 
Final...well that was a disaster. I think I did really REALLY bad. There were so many questions I was unsure about. I have never felt under prepared until today. And I think the exam will prove it. I pray to God I did better than I think but highly doubt that.
 
Anyways I finish the final at 2:45pm most of the nursing class has already left...my friends are all gone. I walk home in the half snow half rain weather and I cross the street and almost get hit by a car. Well I kind of did get hit but I am not hurt. The car nudged me twice into traffic...no cars in the lane I was pushed into except a bus that stopped to pick up people. But definitely cars in the next lane. I was mad so I gave the guy the finger...something I never do.
 
And then I cried. Why? Because I needed to that's why. Anyways I feel much better now that I am home.
 
I guess sometimes we need bad days just to shake it up.

OSCE

So I just finished OSCE's. Thank the sweet heavens it is done. I was so nervous. But I knew deep down that I knew all the OSCE skills.
 
Last night Carmen, Pam and myself got together and reviewed all the OSCE's. And we clarified anything that didn't make sense and we felt good. I came home had a good night's rest and woke a little nervous. And then after breakfast the nervousness grew. And the I cleaned the kitchen, took out the garbage, tided up the place and nervousness as you guess got worse.
 
I walked to school and I was fine during the walk. Then I passed people in the halls reviewing not cool. But anxious but ok.
 
Needless to say I passed got 100%. Did everything I was supposed to and my partner Carmen also passed. She did great and she felt she should have failed but she didn't. She is a smart girl she is just very hard on herself.
 
Now time to go study for final on Thursday. Part of me says I should go to the gym and workout and the other half of me says go and study because there is a lot to know.

Jasper to Banff

 
On February 17, 2007 we ventured on the highway to go to Jasper. A weekend just for me and my hubby. Alone time. No phones, no family calling, no children to look after or entertain. Just the two of us.
 
I left Edmonton with a sore throat and it progressively got worse to a cold. I denied it the whole time stating "it's the mountain air." Yeah right!
 
Anyways we arrived in Jasper around 2:45pm and we walked around town, enjoyed hot beverage, looked at chocolate and clothes and then finally we checked in to the  hotel. It was ok....except our room was by the stair well so we heard people walking up and down the stairs constantly it was so annoying. We ate in the hotel lounge...not much on the menu and staff who were not working were also eating and enjoying themselves. So it was the best experience. So many things wrong with this hotel...the coffee pot filter basket was missing, not enough soap, stairwell. The only that was good we got the room for $100 and the bathtub looked really cool
 
The next day Rick suggested lets go to Banff because there is definitely more to do. We called up the hotel we stayed at last year and they had 2 rooms available. We reserved it and we made our way to Banff. It was snowing but that did not stop us. Rick drove and he took his time. I studied and sneezed, coughed and sniffled. We arrived in Banff around 3pm and we went shopping. We stopped for a bite to eat and then the shopping continued. We love it there. So much more to do and see.
 
We then checked into our hotel and slept and then left around 8pm for dinner. We didn't go to the Keg or Earls...because we have those restaurants at home. We went to the Banff Springs Hotel and had dinner at Grapes Wine Bar. It was so nice and initimate. I had the rack of lamb and he had the beef tenderloin. We both sipped on some wine. It was lovely. Absolutely amazing. Then we made our way to the Rundle  Lounge for drinks and great conversation. It was so good. I swear one of these days I will surprise Rick and we are going to stay at that hotel. Anyways we left at around 12:30am....best night ever.
 
We checked out the following day and made our way home.
 
I can tell you it was so nice to get away even if I was sick. Every couple should do this.
