So today was the third weight in, and after a few technical difficulties, it has been determined that I lost 2 pounds last week, bringing my total weight to 213. Pretty exciting that things are still on the up and up. Or, I guess the down and down. Worked out every morning this week so far, and we’ll see if I make it tomorrow morning. The legs are feeling a bit sore. But that’s all for now. I am hanging out with Jacqueline and we are watching TV, kinda, and just chillin, Work went well tonight, and flew by. Very fast shift, but it felt good to work after a week off. Feels like I haven’t been there in forever. Anyway, that’s all. Peace out.

Five Pounds and Counting
The first weigh-in one today as it was exactly the one week anniversary since I started eating well. I woke up at 4:45 to get ready to go work out at the YMCA again, and I weighed in at 225, which is 5 pounds less than what I started. While it may not be a lot, and definitely not noticeable, it definitely makes it all seem worth it. Seeing results that quickly will make the rest of the process easier I am sure. Day two at the YMCA went well also, and was definitely a great way to start the day. I was home and ready to go by 6:30.
School was the exact same as it was yesterday. If this semester doesn’t pick up and I end up sitting and doing nothing for a majority of my day I am going to be in trouble. School days have never gone by slowly for me, but when you sit and look at the clock every five minutes it is impossible to not go by slow. I just wish I was taking classes that would help me in the future. I did see the counselor today and received my drop form to drop physics for a study hall. Mr. Taylor, an ex-engineer who helped design space ships for NASA, is a complete asshole who I have developed a strong hate for over the last semester. I tried dropping after the first quarter and he didn’t like the idea, but today he was fine with it. I guess he finally realized that a student with no trigonometry or calculus background can’t possibly do well in his class. I will now be in the same study hall as Jacqueline, which will definitely be good and help this slumping second semester out a little.
All the news is talking about tonight is the snow. I said a few days ago I wish the snow wouldn’t of happened over break but now that we are in school, and we got lucky enough to have a little bit of both. Apparently anywhere from 3 to 5 inches are going to be on the ground when we wake up, but it makes me nervous when we haven’t been called off and all the ‘big snow’ is supposed to fall when we are asleep. It makes waking up at 6 in the morning very suspenseful. If for some crazy reason we do have school tomorrow, I will be incredibly pissed. As will all the teachers and other students as well. It is incredibly safe outside, and a car hasn’t drove past my house in two hours, let alone a snow plow. Friday is supposed to be a crisp 0 degrees outside with winds up to 35 mph with a -30 degree wind chill. In my book that should be another snow day, which would equal a four day weekend.
As I just wrote that last paragraph we actually got called out, so that definitely helps. I can sleep in tomorrow and not worry about waking up to check. Wooohoo!
The bad news about tomorrow is my doctors appointment at 4:30. I am getting the crap on my feet taken care of, and I have a feeling I am in for some serious pain. I am nervous, but also excited to get everything taken care of. It will be nice to walk without a limp again. I feel bad for Jacqueline. Everyone probably thinks shes dating a crippled!
Anyway that is all I am in the mood to type tonight. Everything with weight watchers is going great. Kinda cuttin close on the points today but I was hungry. Oh! We also bought a punching bag which is awesome and will most likely get my arms in shape. That damn thing is a work out. I recommend checking one out if you need to relieve some stress. Enjoy the snow. Night.

Day Two/Three and New Years
Well it was day two when I wrote the title, however I got busy, saved it as a draft and now it happens to be the third day of my blogging adventure. So it is 2010. The year that we (fellow classmates) have heard about all of our life. The year that always sounded like the end. Now that 2010 is finally here, I am starting to realize that it is only the beginning. We have all made it so far in our educational career, but that is only a small step in the actually ‘life’ part. College is the first step to the real world that we hear so much about, and for the first time it seems like it is actually going to happen. It seems unreal that in only a few months I will be packing my things and rooming with Tony in a dorm at Mizzou. Time is moving unbelievably fast, but the way I am spending it and the people I am spending it with make it alright.
Jacqueline wrote on her blog some major points of 2009. I would love to do the same but I do not have any that I could easily recall. The fact that we are finally together is a life changing event in itself. It was the first year since 8th grade that I did not see 30+ movies in theaters (speaking of which, Avatar was absolutely incredible). It was the year I stopped writing for the Suburban Journals. The year I made $6,300 by myself, and have a lot less than that to my name. The year nothing tragic, as in deaths, happened in my family. And as pathetic as this is, that is really all I can think of. 2009 is the first half of senior year and the year I actually fell in love. It was a pretty good year, but I know 2010 will be absolutely incredible.
Some honest New Years resolutions that I am definitely going to try and accomplish:
* Lose 50+ pounds by this exact time in 365 days
* Start writing again. Be it either on here, for the paper, or just for fun
* Figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life
* Start giving school work, both the last semester at Howell and the first at Mizzou all my effort
* Attempt to get somewhat closer to God. Not church every week, because these are realistic, but at least closer than I am now
* Start saving money, and not blowing it on stupid crap that I don’t need
If I can achieve all of those, 2010 will definitely be the best year of my life. I honestly think it has potential, and I think it will be. I am with the love of my life, and everything in my life is looking completely positive. I am not the type to say it never was. I have always been a very happy person, but never as happy as I am now.
Anyway I am on the phone with Jacqueline and have been since I started writing this and I feel bad that I am not talking. Plus it is 1:25 in the morning and I need to be at work at 11, and I am dead tired.
By the way, I have -1 point left on my weight watchers thang. Meaning I didn’t do as good as I could of, but I did better than yesterday. I am doing better than I thought I would. I really think this is a program that can work for me. I am not starving, and I have totally realized how much crap I have been eating in the last couple of years. I did have a migraine from about 8:15 until 11:30 when I took a couple Advil. I feel like I have eaten a decent amount of food today, so hopefully it wasn’t from that but we’ll see how I feel the next few days. So far so good. Next is the working out, and figuring out how and where I will be doing that. Then I think progress will start showing.
Goodnight and Happy New Year.
