Blue Skies From Now On...
Hello all.
Today was a good day. So was yesterday. Yesterday began as a horrible day; I overslept and missed calculus on the second day. So after that I wallowed in angst as I pondered the consequences of having a 7am math class........
Later on I went to Public Speaking 101, and had to give a speech on the first day! No big deal, just a 1 minute blurb on a classmate I interviewed. Nailed it!
I realized the speech class wouldn't be so bad, and my spirits were lifted.
I went home and checked POlyWEbRegistration(POWER) to see what math classes were still open..... lo and behold there were two 10am classes that had open spots. My friend Matt and I looked up the teacher for one of them and went to his office to see if he was there, which he was. We were lucky enough to recieve the last two spots in his class! That was the greatest feeling in the world! And better still, we didn't miss any work, so we could smoothly transition into the class from our 7 o'clock one. WOO HOO!!!
This should allow my winter quarter here at Cal Poly to go a lot smoother. I feel so relieved and lucky that I'm just busting. In the words of George Lewis Costanza, "I'm busting Jerry, I'm busting."
And I sure am.

So today I was feeling good about myself. I went to the gym tonight for the first time in a long time. I plan on excercising every day now. Maybe the next time you see me I'll be a few pounds lighter. I'll track my progress on here, so I can set goals and ultimately be healthier.
As of today I'm 305 lbs., with a 45 in. waist.

The key to your good feelings is that you took control of your life!!! Way to go!! Lots of love from the G's.

Hooray for Jim! You're doing great at finding your way. I can empathize with the early class. I had World Civilizations at 8 a.m. my third semester of college and, well, that conflicted with my social life, which was also just as important. I made my choices, failed World Civ. and haven't ever regretted it since I took it with a different teacher at a different hour the next time. Plus, I lived in Greece for a semester. Talk about living "world civilizations!" Woo-hoo! Walking on land/historic sites that most people only see in history books is quite amazing... I hope you have the same opportunity. P.S. Way to go in all you're doing to take control of your life. I'm proud of you and your decision-making.

Way to go! I've taken control of some of my issues too. I've gone back to the gym, re-gained control of my diet, and reached out by going to church. I really miss having friends to hang out with. I won't be posting my weight, etc. on any website, but it's a girl thing. Love you much, I'm proud of you, too!! Mom
