So, I'm back into the normal rituals of being at school from 7am-7pm, and seeing people I haven't scene in a while. I'm also taking two classes that I never would of dreamed of taking, but I don't make the rules of what I have to take or not, so here I am....
I have a food and beverage class, international cuisines. Basically, we read about, cook, and eat foods that are from around the world. The first day during class the teacher had everyone go around the room and introduce themselves, in our introduction, we had to tell something interesting about ourselves... I said that I have almost lost almost 100 pounds... afterwards I told the teacher that I am on MediFast... He was familiar with it as his son utilized the program as well.... the teacher said that he respected me for getting healthy and that I don't have to eat anything I don't want to.
The next class period he walked in the room, and saw me eating a meal replacement bar... and gave me this smirk that conveyed the message: "I know what that it, I see what your up to, problem child." Well, then it came time to pick what cuisine we wanted to present and cook.... I had my heart set on Greek food. So I went over there to gather with my new group.... After the groups were formed, we discovered that apparently Greek food, was the healthiest of options.... This launched me into an uncontrollable fit of the giggles... I unconsciously chose the healthy option! Also looking around the room, we discovered that, we were the group that was made up of the slimmest people in the class... tell me that's not funny!
Then, after class, he stopped me and made it a point to reiterate that next week he is going to be making us homemade pasta, with even a bigger smirk on his face... I said I know... and that we will see... he asked if I had hit my goal weight yet, I told him not quite, but I hit the 99 pound mark.... he let me know he is proud of me... and that instead of a whole dish of pasta, he will only serve me one little strand of pasta, and he promises me that it won't kill me, or make me gain 100 pounds. (He's a smart alec if you couldn't gather)
Today, more amusement ensued. One of the institute secretaries asked if I had lost weight, I said yes. she guessed 30 pounds are gone..... really?!?! Just Thirty?!?! No way. Not for this girl!
Then it came time for my lean and green meal. I had planned on eating it at home, but I am stuck at school for longer, so I got a salad. They offer you all of the fixings such as crotons, wontons, pasta, etc. I declined all dry options, as usual. The problem with the place that serves salads on campus is that they ALWAYS serve a roll with the salad... until today. The dude behind the counter said "I'm assuming you don't want a roll since you declined all the carby stuff." Yes, dude, you are right. I only want my chicken and vegetables. It made me feel really good that it wasn't stuffed in my food, that the guy noticed what I had, or didn't have.
P.S. My final reveal photo has gone from being months away to weeks away, to just days, if not hours away..... I almost calculated the hours until I release it, but feel like a zombie and it doesn't matter much anyways.
