Weigh-in Wednesday May 26
Time of Weigh-in: 11:36 am
Difference from last week: +1
Total from start of the project: -.2
Thoughts: I am really not surprised. I am completely a grazer at work and with 8pm closes I run and get something to eat before work and then will often grab something when I get off because I am starving! Plus I need to wear my pedometer and make sure I am getting at least 7 to 10 thousand steps a day.

Weigh-in Wednesday: May 19
Time of Weigh-in: 11:00 AMish
Difference from last weigh-in: -1.2
Total difference from the start of this: -1.2
Thoughts:
I first want to admit that I have been wearing my pedometer to work and because of my uber awesome vacation I am taking this summer I want to get into shape for it. My fast food fast didn't go as I had planned. I am also considering LAP-BAND surgery.

What to really expect
Something I wrote back in February
I am 24 and about to restart my life. I am going to be moving in with my brother and sister-in-law and returning back to school. I will be starting school full time in the fall. Studying what, I really do not know yet, I already have a BA in Education. I got two jobs in education teaching science and now with almost only one more querter to go in the school year, I am resigning my position. There are a lot of factors that went into this descision, that I will explain in a later post.
Another thing that I will be doing is focusing on losing weight. I weigh nearly 300 pounds and I am only 5'2. Meaning I am big round and fat. I have nearly always been overweight in my teens but never to this extreme. I have done some things to try to lose the weight. I even went to a camp where I lost 40 pounds but then I eventually regained it. Yet, because of the camp I know what I need to do in order to lose the weight. Even with those tools I am taking the steps to have lap band surgery. My first appointment is on March 5th.
I have also become inactive in my church, I am a latter-day saint or better known as Mormon. It was a slow process with many factors. But with me starting over with school I plan to restart with church. I need to reaffrim my knowledge of the church and actually better practice it.
The one thing that has not changed is my love of literature. I read about anything. I have been keeping track of the books I read in a year since 2007. Each year I have read 100+ books. Now I did not read all of them, about half of them I listened, but I still consider listening to a book as being read. My goal this year is to read all of them Printz award and honor books. The Printz is an award given to the best of young adult litrature, given since 2001.
So what should be expected from this blog:
- Weigh in Wednesday: I will post my weight and hopefully how much I have lost.
- Thursday Review: I will post a review about a recent movie or book.
- Finish it Friday: I will be posting goals of projects that I want to finish over the weekend i.e. mainly Saturday and post the results on Monday.
For now that seems enough. That does not mean that every now and then I post something that I find or type up some of my rambling thoughts.
