Ready to be done...

I am so ready to be done with school. I have two more school years left if I can make it through these classes and I will be done. I did bad this Spring semester. 2 out of the 3 classes I took I have to retake. I hate having to retake classes I feel like it puts me behind in graduating. One of the teachers sucks at teaching. When we would have midterm and finals, she would post a review video, but half of the stuff that she reviewed in the video was not even on the tests so I feel like I studied the wrong things and couldn't complete most of the test because I didn't know the answers. How can someone take a test when they do not know what is going to be on the test and don't know exactly what needs to be studied? So now one of the classes I am retaking this Summer and the other one I have to retake next Summer. I am doing two retake classes this Summer and I pray I can make it through both of them so I don't have to worry about them anymore and I can move on to the next set of classes I need to take. The thing I hate about Summer classes are that they are only six weeks long so everything is crammed into six weeks. This first week wasn't bad but I had two chapters in a book I needed to read and did not make it through. I believe the hardest part is the readings. I have 5-6 chapters I have to read this week and I have no time to get the readings done. If I wasn't at work all day, I would have the time but I'm out the house all day and don't get home until the evening and after a couple of hours, I am ready to go to sleep because I am up before 5 am. So it is definitely a struggle. The only time I have to read is on the weekends and I'm not sure if I can even get the readings done then because the chapters are so long and my attention span is short but all I can do is try. I just pray I can make it through. I am nervous for the Fall semester because I am taking math and that is one of the hardest things I ever have to do. I have a hard time understanding math and I have a class that I am retaking for the fourth time so I have to get through it this Fall. I definitely do not want to have to take it for a fifth time. I feel like I need to look online and research some study tips to see if it will help me make it through these classes. I just have four more semesters to make it through, not including the Summers, and I will finally be graduating. I can not wait for the day to get here. It has been a long road to get there.

Weight loss goals...

It has been a while since I have posted anything.

I have been on this weight loss kick since last year. My goal is to pretty much get rid of my sagging lower belly that some women seem to get after having kids. I'm sick of looking at it so I want it gone if possible. So far, I have lost about 15-16 pounds since last year or I think I have since I am not sure how accurate my scale is. The plan right now is to lose as much as I can by the beginning of July since we're suppose to be going to the beach. Last week, I finally started getting up early to workout. I use to try to get my workouts in before bed but it has been hard with being out the house all day or having work to do or being sleepy in the evenings, it just makes more sense to get up in the morning and get it done. I was suppose to start doing it in the mornings months ago but it was a struggle getting up early in the morning to do it. I thought to myself last week, if I could get up early in the morning to take tests for school, which is the only time I can do it since the kids are sleep and I don't have to worry about anyone bothering me, then I should be able to get up early to workout. So that's what I started doing. The only thing I am having problems with is the food part. My plan is to just eat fruit and eggs for breakfast. I think I am going to add yogurt and eat a salad for lunch and then fast for the rest of the day. I have no problems eating my fruit, eggs, and salad but sometimes when I get off of work I end up getting something to eat. I'll either eat pizza, get some Chinese food, or some Boston Market, or something else I don't need. So I am going to challenge myself this week to just eat my fruit, eggs, and salad and fast the rest of the day. Hopefully, I can make it through until next Monday, then I plan on weighing myself. But until then, I am staying off the scale which I haven't been on in weeks because every time I would weigh myself I was always the same weight but I guess that isn't a bad thing I would rather be the same weight then to gain. We'll see how this week goes. I always tell myself, one day at a time, one pound at a time.
