Must be Monday, What a Dumb Day

So I survived my Biomechanics Presentation. Downed by "um" count to 15 um's per minute. So an improvement from 30 upm ... overall, an accomplishment.

Of course, once again, its Monday. I have 2 exams this week. One tomorrow. One Wednesday. Have I prepared for them? Depends on who you ask...if you ask Jerry*, he will say "Kenz is such a dork, of course she is prepared, shes been studying for 3 weeks". However, if you ask me....its more of a "oh my gosh, Im going to fail, Im going to get kicked out of grad school, Im never going to get married, never going to get a job, live in a box, die in a street". We call this the downward spiral that I can tend to do. While I have spent close to 3 hours of my "study time" hypothesizing this downward spiral, eating, facebooking, surfing (however, I feel I am an awful surfer, more on that in a later post), I still do not feel prepared and probably will not going into tomorrow. Besides, I have a lot better things to do tonight than study.

I have a soccer game in an hour.
I have to put dishes in my dishwasher.
Jerry is online.
My bed needs made.
I should empty the trash.
Where are my clothes for the soccer game?

So, lame excuses. However, they will probably work. I also am still recovering from a weekend of Martinsville coming to visit me in Charlotte. The brain cells are somewhere scattered around uptown Charlotte, or maybe in a cab somewhere, or god forbid a McDonald's wrapper. This makes it just as difficult to go study health and all the things I need to NOT be doing in order to live healthy and disease free. So I'm a hypocrite....like you have never met a fat doctor?

Things I should share for the day....(cuz they are just too good not to)

I started counting my calories. I'm at 700 today. I decided to leave out dinner, the 3 snickers mini bars I had at lunch, the fudgesicle I just ate, as well as the 3 packs of Mike and Ike's I stole from my office neighbor E-beth. And Im lucky she didnt catch me - shes a feisty one. I don't think Ill count calories anymore. And in case you forgot, yes I am a health and exercise specialist.

This morning I saw amazing 70 year old boobs. Lady had not worn a bra since the 60s - said she was quite a "wildflower" and then asked me if I did anything to free my soul this weekend. She walked for 8 minutes on the treadmill before complaining of shortness of breath. Surprised she wore shoes.

On that note, I just had another downward spiral that someday I may not have a job cuz I fail my tests this week, so then I cant afford a bra, and then I wont be able to walk on a treadmill for 8 minutes. Cardio notes, here I come.





*Jerry - not the real name, but the pseudo-inside joke-made up name that never fails to make me smile
