What Happened?!

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been around lately. Blogger was acting stupid the last time I was on, so I haven't been back. But it seems like it's working again. We'll see...

OK... I got on the scale this morning at the gym and got some REALLY bad news. I'm up almost 10 pounds from the last time I weighed. I'm so upset with myself! But, no excuses today. I just have to find a new coping mechanism.

Training went well today. I got up, went for a 4 mile walk (no wogging since I'm still sick), then I climbed stairs for 10 minutes, then went to the gym and did some upperbody work along with some ab work. I'm hopping to get some situps and pushups in later.

I hope everyone who is at WDW for the MGE is having fun! I SO wish I was there with you guys. Maybe next time...

Yay! I Can Finally Post!

Blogger has been acting really wired lately. For some reason, it (or the computer, I'm not sure) wouldn't let me log in. I couldn't even see my page. But I'm back now.

Here's today's update.

Breakfast- Whole Wheat Cereal with Skim Milk
Morning Snack- Cup of Almonds and a Glass of Milk
Lunch- Salad and Green Tea
Afternoon Snack- Yogurt
Dinner-
Evening Snack-

Other than some Ab work and some pushups, no training this week. My sinuses/throat are acting up again and the Doctor has banned me from running and going to the gym for the rest of the week. It's always something with me isn't it! Anyway, I'm hoping to be better by Saturday.

Now on to the Corn-vator 13k. I was able to do 8 miles at 1:48:29, not the 10 miles Jeff thought I put. Sorry to disappoint!

How's everyone?

Mongello guys!

First of all, let me say that the Wednesday's margarita was my own addition. My diet does allow for 3 alcholic beverages a week, but I don't think that is what they had in mind, haha!

Anyway, on to the updates. I was out of town and on the road a good part of the day (and night) going to see my old band's half time show. They were AWESOME!!! I'm hoping to get a video of it soon. When I do, I'll post it for you all (or for at least Rae). Anyway, that is the reasoning behind my strange meals and lack of training yesterday.

Yesterday's Meals
1. Shreadeded Whole Wheat with Skim Milk, Coffee, and Water
2. Pack of Raisins, Water
3. PBJ Sandwhich
4. Banana and Water
5. "Bean and Turkey Sandwhich" - Oh my Lord! Just awful!!! But I had to do something!
6. Pack of Raisins

No Training other than some situps and pushups

Today's Meals
1. Whole Wheat and S. Milk, Coffee
2. Banana and Water
3. Oatmeal and an Egg
4. PBJ sandwhich
5.
6.

Still no training for today. Since I'm hoping to do 10 miles for the Corn-vator race tomorrow, I thought I would layout another day. Good Luck everyone!!!

Back from Fall Break

Mongello guys! It's the first day of the week for me, so maybe things will start going back to normal now. Here's today's update:

Meals
I'm trying something new for now. It's called the Abs Diet (I'll post a summary when I know exaclty what I'm doing) and it looks like it might work. That's why things will look a little different.

Meal #1 (Breakfast)- Shreadeded Whole Wheat with Skim Milk, Banana, Boiled Egg, Water
Meal #2 (Morning Snack)- Pack of Raisins, Water
Meal #3 (Lunch)- Pack of Unsweetened Oatmeal, Apple Sauce, Yogurt, Green Tea
Meal #4 (Afternoon Snack)- PBJ on Whole Wheat Bread
Meal #5 (Dinner)- Tortilla Soup and a Margarita
Meal #6 (Evening Snack)- Apple Sauce

Training
-I got out this morning and spedwalked 4 miles this morning at 57:46
-After that, I went to the gym and worked on my upper body for about 45 minutes

How's everybody else doing?

I'm Back!

Hey Guys! Since there wasn't much going on last week I decided not to update until I came home for Fall Break. Well I get home and I find out that the internet is down! I was SO mad! But it's back up now and I'll be updating you all later tonight.

See you then!

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Track

Here is Today's update:

Meals
Breakfast- Protien Shake, V8
Lunch-
Dinner-

Training
I had every intention of getting out there and wogging my 4 miles today. My alarm went of at 5:30 and my room mate turned it off (since he's on the bottom bunk). So I'm starting to climb down the ladder when a charley horse hits me. When it did, I immediately stiffen and I fall off the ladder! Luckily I landed feet first, but then I was on the ground trying to get that damn cramp to go away.

Now my calf and my foot are sore. I don't think I broke anything but if my foot is still hurting tomorrow, I'll go get it checked out. But the point is, no wog this morning. I'll try again tomorrow.

Other News

• I'm debating with myself on whether or not I should run in the upcoming 15k. I know I'm not ready now, but can I be ready by November 1? I'm not sure. What do you think?
  

The Interview and Some Really Bad News

Ok... I went through the interview a little while ago. For the most part, I think it went well. I think that I may just get in. However, I don't think that I got the job I wanted. I really wanted Vacation Planner, Hospitality or possibly Merchandise. That way it would be easier for me to convince my school to accept the internship. I really think that they put me as a Character Attendant which wouldn't be bad, it will just be hard to explain. But I think it went fine.

Now the bad news. My parent's insurance (through the City of Brookhaven who my dad works as a fireman for - The city is the one's causing the problems not the insurance) is threating to cancel my insurance if I do this.

They are saying that I must be a full time student at my university in order to remain covered. In the city's words "part time at one institution and part time at another doesn't mean I'm full time". How in the heck am I supposed to be fully enrolled at my school and still do the CP? I'm looking for online classes at MC, but since it's a private school I'll have to pay full tuition. Also, there aren't any real online classes here. There are some basics, but I've already taken them. This has really upset me because I feel like they lied to me.

Anyway, I'm going to go talk to my counselor tomorrow and see what I can do. I thought I was pretty much home free, then this happened. I'll update you all as soon as I know something.

It's a New Week!

Mongello! Here's today's Report. I'll be updating it as the day moves on.

Meals
Breakfast- Protien Shake, V8, coffee
Lunch- 3/4 cp of Apple Sauce, 3/4 cp of Yogurt, 1 cp of Green Tea, Box of Raisins
Dinner- Ramen Noodles

Training
-Sped walked 3 1/2 miles and jogged 1/2 mile. I'm not where I was, but I'm getting there.

CP News

JB- I don't think they will tell me anything after the interview. They are supposed to send me a letter in about 2 to 3 weeks saying wether or not I've been accepted or not. That is going to be a LONG wait! If I can do it, I'm hoping that I can start the Monday after the marathon. I'm not sure if I can pick when I go or not.

Thanks for the support guys! I'm SO nervous right now!!! I'll post again tonight.

Finally, Some Good CP News!

Mongello!

I've finally gotten some good news on several fronts.

I went to the presentation on Thursday. It was all pretty basic stuff. Things that I already knew and such. I did get the presenter, (Mitch, who is more or less over the College Program) to sign my MC paperwork for me, so I should be able to get the internship approved. Here's something funny that I noticed at the Presentation. There were so many people that had to be told the difference of Disneyland and Disney World. Some thought that they were the same, other's didn't know where they were. So I fell really good about my chances!

Then, I went to a "live interview" on Friday with Mitch. Since we talked the night before, he really didn't ask much. Just some basic Disney questions. The main point of it was for him to call Casting and set up a phone interview for me. That is on Monday at 8 pm.

When I got back, I went to the financial aid office and through much discussion (or fighting) we figured out that if I do this, my student loans will be ok and I can put my scholarships on hold until I come back. So things are starting to look fine. The worst that could happen (as of now) is that when I come home, I would have to quit band and my job and take one extra class per semester. It will be hard, but I think it will be worth it.

I'll update again once I get through with the interview on Monday... until then, TTFN!

A CP Related Rant

My school has screwed me again! And I've only been here for what, a month?

I went to the Registrar's office yesterday only to be told that my Disney classes would not transfer. But here's what really pissed me off. Their excuse is that the Disney classes are not regionally accredited. I tried to explain to them that they are nationally accredited, but they said that it didn't matter. Then they would not explain to me how nationally accredited isn't as good as regionally accredited. I think that's a stupid excuse. What difference does it make where the class is accredited? The point is that it is!

You should see the stack of paperwork that just MC is making me go through just to do this thing. It's almost as if they are trying to make things difficult. Then I get to this! I'm not going to let it stop me though. I'm going to try to find some classes from my old community college and take them online. Then, I'll just have to do some night classes when I get back from the CP. I WILL NOT stay here any longer than I have too (I have a feeling that's what they're trying to do).

Anyway.... I have the CP presentation this afternoon. So I guess that's something to look forward to (or get my hopes up). I'll be twittering through the day to keep you guys posted.
