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.

Weigh-in Wednesday May 12

I know I am posting this late. But bear with me I only just decided to start this up again.

Current Weight: 306.6

Time of Weigh-In: 12:39 am Wednesday Night/Thursday Morning

Thoughts: Ee Gads things have got to change. Maybe doing a fast food fast....no fast food!!

What to really expect

As of right now I only plan on doing weigh-in Wednesday. Where I post my weight. If I have been good with using my pedometer posting numbers for that. I will more than likely do a brief update on what is going on in my life.

I might post other things now and then like links to awesome youtube videos. Links to other neat things. And as I get into the swing of things I will add other things too. I might also review a book or movie once in a while.

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 5^th.

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.

Weight Loss

I am currently attending a camp to lose weight. I will be here for the next 5 weeks. I will be trying to update everyday and write what I have eaten, and how many steps I took for the day. Also, every once in a while I will write a brief review about a book I have listened to while exercising.

Even though I have been at camp for 4-5 days I will be starting tomorrow.

Oh I Wish........

I were a wordier person. I am trying to write a 3 page paper done on two interviews I did for collaboration. I am barely getting 1 page right now. This is not the first time I have wished this. I blame Mr. Woolf for my non wordiness.

Mr. Woolf said that the wordier one is the studier you are. And in so many ways that is true. Just think about it. Nearly everyone has had a teacher that just keeps repeating themselves and nearly everyone will think that teacher an idiot.

Take to note my Intro to Africans professor. I hate her class. We will watch a movie and then she will take 30 minutes to explain what the movie was about. Seriously, I might as well skip the movie and then show up for the 30 min explaination. Though I think the movies are more interesting.

I also regret not taking more time to write on the blog because I have some amazing observations about the education system and in the education program. Plus life has been weird. So I am going to try to post on a regular basis Mon-Thrus.
