Summer classes and finals week kicked my ass; hence, me falling behind on posts! I’m not even going to try and catch up, so here’s a summary for Days 29 through 36, conveniently lumped together. Overall, it was an “OK” week, definitely not my best. On Day 31, after a grueling 2 hour O-chem final, I was in a “glass-case of emotion” (Ron Burgundy reference, anyone?). After investing days and nights of little to no sleep, studying and preparing, I felt pretty confident, that I would, without a doubt, NAIL the exam; especially considering the fact that this is the second time I’m taking O-chem (MCAT review). The exam was brutal to say the least and by the time I was done, I felt like crying and crawling into a cave with a pint of chocolate ice cream and a big fat bag of Flammin’ Hot Cheetos (my “bad kid” junk foods of choice, what’s yours?). I came home and in the middle of making a beautiful, 200 calorie, chicken salad for lunch, I decided I wanted to be BAD. Without thinking twice, I obeyed the rebellious voice which told me to go and get that bag of Hot Cheetos…and so with great conviction and purpose, that’s exactly what I did! On top of that, I said NO to working out and hell YES to napping the afternoon away. It was awesome. AND come to find out, I did perfectly fine on the exam…thanks to a generous curve set by a low, class mean 
I followed up the rest of the week with intermittent fasting and solid workouts. As far as progress goes, I seem to be hitting a stall (which I expected and dreaded) and can’t seem to break the 113 pound mark on the scale. Of course, Day 31 (aka Hot Cheetos Day), followed by a weekend of cavalier calorie counting, didn’t help any. With ten days left and 3-4 more pounds to go, there’s less and less room for “off” days. Pretty much, what I’m trying to say is…I better get my stuff together if I’m going to succeed with this project. I will be pulling out all the stops to make the final push, more on that soon.
