It has been a few weeks since I've posted anything. Sorry about that, its been crazy around here with packing for the move to the new house and with Haden starting daycare.
I did reach my goal a few weeks ago and I have managed to lose two more pounds since then this week. I don't have very much to lose before I reach 100 pounds lost. Hard to believe! 8 pounds away from that goal. Still have a long ways to go to reduce my body fat to 20%, but I know it is going to take a long time and I have to be patient.
I currently have almost no clothes that fit properly, they are all way too big. So most of the time I wear my gym clothes because they are the only thing that does not fall off my butt or look super baggy.
On another, no so jolly note... I just found out that I can not go to Penn State York for a major in Nutritional Science... sure I could start there, but then after 2 years I would have to move to Penn State Main in State College to finish for another 2 years. My life is here in York. Its not my favorite place to live, but my husband has a good job, and we found a house to rent for less money than we are spending now in rent. I have looked into other schools in this area and can't find a major that is comparable or even close to what I can to do for a career. I also looked into being able to transfer to a school in Lancaster (45 mins away) after the 2 years.. they don't offer the major either. So right now I have to decide to either not go to school & be stuck in the retail world for the rest of my life or pick different major that is available to me. I was SO close to starting school, all I have to do is schedule classes! Nothing like waiting till the last minute to tell someone something so important. I was told when I applied that I would be able to finish my major at this campus. Is penn state that desperate for students?!?!?
It would probably be WAY to difficult for us to live apart while I would finish school, I would have to take Haden to state college with me, but I know we would not be able to afford to rent 2 different places. Its just really upsetting. This is what I want to do, this is what I'm passionate about but its so out of reach & unattainable.
Tomorrow I have an advisor meeting at the school so hopefully I will figure something out. Maybe I could Major in biology (if they even offer it!) and minor in nutrition.
Thanks for reading my rant, <3 You All.
Jess, I know you are upset about the school news. It just doesn't make sense why they didn't tell you at the beginning that you would have to transfer. I'm sorry you are going through this right now. Hopefully you get great news tomorrow from the meeting. You aren't going to be stuck in retail for the rest of your life. Look at the goals you've set for yourself and passed already. If you can set out to lose the weight that you have and eat better to become a healthier person you can get a degree in something YOU WANT to do. It may not be easy, but losing 100 pounds isn't easy either and you are just about there. It's all going to work out the way it's supposed to.
ReplyDeleteI'm here for you. And congrats on losing the 2nd pound this week. You are kicking butt!!!!
