Well if you look at the scale you'll see I'm down 11lbs since I started!
This journey has only begun and I'm 10% to my goal... which realistically won't be the 100lbs because I have no desire to be skinny, just healthy so If I get to 180lbs, 170lbs and I'm happy even though the charts say I should be 155lbs then so be it!
I'll just keep tryin my best to become a better me.

My baby sister
Got engaged today!
I'm just wondering why she's 2 years younger than me and I'm still ringless?!
So it's a bit bitersweet really... but I'm still excited for her.

Another book...
I just finished the another book in my library. It's Happiness Sold Seperately by Lolly Winston. She could easily be my favourite author.
I just love this story... infertility, infidelity, separation, divorce, miscarriage, love, hate, children... it's all in between the covers. Just got to read it... I dare you to put it down!
It took me a while to read this one but it's because I loved it that much I would read sections over and over. I probably read it 2-3 times before I got through the whole thing!
It had a very interesting style too. It was written from multiple points of view. It was the first time I had read a book like that but it creates a situation where only the reader is omnipotent (I think that's the omni word I was looking for.... if it's not please let me know in the comments lol).
I loved her first book Good Grief and I can honestly say I can't wait for a 3rd one!
Check it out at the library or bookstore soon!

Schools in for summer...
I'm in over my head. I'm doing 3 courses in 6 weeks. I am really gone nuts this time.
I'm taking the hardest course for my current degree of Special Education which is assessment. We learn how to administer the TAPS-3, TVPS-3, the WIAT and many other assessment tests. I'll be able to isolate children's problems now and make changes to the way we choose to teach them.
I'm also taking a course in Autism Spectrum Disorders and another about Mental Retardation. Heavy topics but hopefully not too heavy in comparison to the other Assessment course I'm taking.
You may not hear much from me until August because I'm just that busy. On Tuesday's and Thursday's I have class pretty much straight for 6 hours. The same chair, the same desk, the same room, the same prof... only 2 different courses.
DEAR LORD IN HEAVEN, hear this my prayer... get me through these next 5 weeks and I will be eternally grateful. AMEN.

What a tough week...
I always heard bad things come in 3's...
1) Jon and Kate divorce (So very sad... one of my fav shows but I would gladly never watch it again if they decided to cancel it and save their marriage)
2) Michael Jackson dead at 50 (WOW! Never thought I'd see that day... I remember where I was when I found out about princess Dianna and now I remember that I was at the gym on an elliptical when I found out about MJ)
3) Farha Fawcett dead at 62 (and her death being shadowed b/c MJ died the same day... she was a much braver stronger person who deserves the coverage too.)
The saddest... there's people starving and dying in the world because of famine, neglect and war... and when we turn on the tv... all we see are 1, 2 &3.
Think about that for a while...

Building new habits
Since I've given up eating (lol) I've decided to pick up a less harmful addiction.
Now when I'm hungry I grab a light healthy snack and head off to my sewing machine. I got it for Christmas and was terrified to use it. Turns out I'm kinda natural at it... Don't get me wrong... I'm not great but I like it and I've been getting it to work so far!
I've started my first project recently... it's a baby quilt for a friend. When It's finished I'll post some pictures and some instructions. I used a pattern that my Nan got from a friend who got from a friend who got it from a... well you get the idea. I hope It won't be copyrighted or anything! It's pretty basic so I don't think we'll have any issues there!
I'm just curious though, what other things have you tried instead of eating? I eat when I'm emotional, hormonal and bored... so yeah I just eat all of the time. What else could I be doing (keep in mind I'm already a hopeless bibliophile).
