I'm feeling very motivated today ... I mean, it just hit me that I have less that one month to reach my mini goal (close to 20 lbs!!!) Soooo .... I NEED to really start kicking some serious a*s on this. I figure if I take it just month by month ... I mean, time is going to go by no matter what so I might as well better myself in the process, right? I might as well start looking better while time is flying by rather than just thinking about doing it and wishing I was thin.

I'm SO confused right now ... ok. So here is the boy situation ... He's my best friend, but also more than that. Like a while ago in the summer time he asked me to be his girlfriend but I already had a by at the itme. So anyways I am single now and have been a few months and in that time he and I have become more than "just friends". We've been having ALOT of fun together and having sleepovers lol and whatnot, cooks me dinner, buys me dinner, shop together, watch movies, met my parents over christmas break, exchnaged chrstmas presents, bla bla bla ... so it's more than just "friends with benefits" but how much more? When I talk about moving away this summer for school he tells me not to and to move where he is moving. It's just a basic understanding that we are not seeing anyone else BUT we have not talked about out situation. He was hurt bad in his last relationship ( she cheated ) and I know that has something to do with why he won't make it more than what we are ... but I mean ... I can't wait much longer and I like him SO much ... Another thing : last night I went home for my bros b-day (an hour away) and the night before he fell asleep here and went home at 3 a.m. and then I didnt talk to him all yesterday even though I called him twice but his voivemail never picked up ... so anyways, I called him last night while I was home and told him whree i was and stuff and hes like ... "well call me when you get here, i have some questions for you" ... so he ended up calling me 15 minutes later instead and asked why I didnt call him at all all day to tell him i was leaving town ... and he was kinda hurt by that ... But I DID call him ... it's not my fault his phone is crap! .... but it was no biggie ... we laughed and talked and i said id clal when i got home ... well my friend Sarah and I didnt leave for another hour and he called when we were finally leaving town and he was just pissed ... "I thought you were leaving like an hour ago!" ... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my thinking here is ... he won't make me his gf but yet is worried and is upset why i'm not home already and stuff ... so ... ?? don't get it. and it's not like we had plans or he asked me to hang out when i got home ... he just said to call !!!
soo ... any insight on this would be fantastic :)
I'm so frusterated because i like him SO much and i feel like he likes me ... it's just How much? and do i talk to him about this?
 
Agh, I'm really horrible with boy problems, haha. I recently went through something kind of similar with my best friend - it often seemed like we were dating, but it wasn't official, so I wasn't really sure where we were at. Anyway, things didn't exactly work out the way I wanted in the end, so I'm probably not the best person to give you advice about that! Good luck though. :)

And Social Work sounds interesting, by the way - a few of my friends are taking it. (I'm in WMST).
 
Uugghhh yeah boy problems are no fun figuring out ... grrr*
What is WMST?
Yeah social work is pretty interesting ...
well time to go grocery shopping :)
 
Last night I went to a friends for some drinks ... when I get tipsy, I tend to lean towards food. Who am I kidding - I lean towards food no matter what the situation. haha* Anyways, I'm disapointed in that but I have been working out and that is more than I have been doing, so I'm not getting too down on myself. I have to amp up on making better food choices though as I'm doing really well with exercise. It helps w/ all the cute boys working out ... all sweaty lol ;)Keeps me going haha.
 
Foods :
B- orange


L- veggie stir fry

snack- macadamia nuts
1 hersheys kiss

D- lasagna
I think instead of counting cals on here, I might just use fitday.com instead, but I will still write down everything I eat in here :)

1. tan :)
2. workout
3. pick up check @ work
4. bank to deposit checks
5. GNC --> look for vitamins
7. get class book from Jess

Hey Emma, keep up the great work! :)

Regarding your boy issue, honestly.. I'd sit him down and tell him your thoughts about the situation. That you don't quite understand their relationship etc. Just like you told us. See what his response is. If he's a true friend he'll talk it over with you and who knows.. maybe he's willing to make it more than just friends! :) Good luck!
 
Thanks NL :) I am going to talk to him about it ... and if he wants to just remain friends, then fine ... I will be sad but I will get over it and it wasn't mwant to be then,right? But if this is the case, then I am going to back off the hanging out all the time and calling and bla bla bla ... becuase that is what got me to this point in the first place
