Good things and bad things.

These past two weeks have been crazy busy. full of good things and bad.

GOOD:

I paid off my car.

went climbing.

got new shows.

got a new chalk bag for my birthday

got the coolest bonzai tree for my birthday

played with alex.

made yummy sugar free brownies!

ITS ALMOST MY BIRTHDAY

BAD:

my doctor said i cant do the triathlon ive been training for. im pissed.

i tore my groin and it still kills. therefore, no gym, climbing, or anything.

alex has cancer.

alex starts chemotherapy in two weeks.

i had to quit my home therapy program so i would have time to go to physical therapy.

i got beat up at work again.

Im taking on a new hobby.

I'm taking on a new hobby. It's climbing. I'm so freaking excited. Hopefully my groin gets better cause Im starting in two weeks. And im gonna get shoes. and a chalk bag. and eventually all of my own gear. in the mean time im just going to use Alex's stuff. and I can't wait till its warm outside. Yes.

Time to vent and set new goals

Vent: School stresses me out more than ANYTHING. I should not have taken 15 credits. hard credits. It's killing me and I feel so lost and behind and Im just hating it. hating it hating it hating it. I love my major though. Nutrition. I just want to take ALL nutrition class and not mess around with biology and stupid classes. and not to mention tuition fees, and book prices. RIDICULOUS. absolutely ridiculous. book prices are literally raping us of our money. UGH. makes me mad.

I'm very very very stressed about the groin muscle that I pulled or torn. Im going to the sports medicine doctor today to see what he says. its been over three weeks and Im supposed to be training for a triathlon and i just bought a new road bike and cant even use it. its very frustrating. i cant even swim or run either. UGH!!!!!!! its just thrown my whole schedule off. I hate it.

Kind of to go back to my rage about book prices and tuition. I am so poor right now. I just spent all my saving on my bike. maybe not the right thing to do but I am sure glad i did it. but i am having a hard time staying up with my payments and stuff. this too is frustrating. i shouldnt be living off paycheck to paycheck but it always seems to work that way.

New Goals to help me though this shiz:

Getting back on my schedule. bed at 8 wake up at 430.

Im setting some few food goals that have to do with: no picking, over eating, or obsessing

reading my scriptures everyday. cheesy but it totally makes or breaks your day.

study more. and devote more time to my schooling and learning.

I need to set budget goals. Ive tried so many times before but i need something new and effective this time.

this is all for now. im sure ill come back and edit..

Triathlons/Pulled Muscle/Next semester

Real quick.

1. I have a goal of doing at least four events this next year. Im so excited my bike is almost paid off and Ive been doing my training. its kicking my butt. My first Tri is april 16th. In orem. I cant freaking wait.

2. I pulled my freaking left groin muscle. oh my gosh it kills so bad. this is day two of not doing my training. im going to the gym right now to work my upper body but i cant swim, bike, or run. ITS SO HARD! taking it "easy" is hard for me.

3. Monday real life starts again. Im so not excited. working part-time and taking on a new home therapy program, and taking 18 credits. while training for my tri's. Ya you'll never see me.

i made the worlds best pie.

I made the best pie ever. coconut cream pie. it was sooooo good. really rich but so good. here is the recipe. its super easy, and again super good. here it is.

Ingredients:
1 baked 9-inch pie crust (can be reg. or graham cracker)
1 large pkg. sugar-free instant vanilla pudding
1 3/4 cup cold skim milk
1 carton (8-oz. size) Light Cool Whip
1 cup flaked coconut, toasted and divided

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, beat pudding and milk for 2 minutes on low speed. It will be very thick.

Fold in the whipped topping and 3/4 of the coconut at once. Pour into the baked and COOLED pie crust. Sprinkle the remaining coconut on top. Chill well.
