Mine involved lots of reading, phone calls, piles of paperwork, committee meetings, and a new job. Between life, school, and scouts, I have no idea how I am going to squeeze a job in, but a certain dept. at U of I has been after me for a bit and it looks like I will be helping them out until the holidays are over.

On another note....we are collecting food for scouting for food next Saturday the 12th. If you have some canned food you would like to donate let me know...I will happily pick it up. All the food helps to assist those in our community that have needs.

Ok blogging world...I'm back! I am going to attempt to maintain this blog and post regularly. I think it should be interesting to see how well I can balance home, school, homework, housework, scouts, couponing, blogging, and life! Let's see if I have what it takes!

Ok, so I have been waiting for this day forever...I am finally under 200!!! Weigh in today put me at 197.6! I am so happy! I can't believe how I am progressing, and I am finding what is hard and what is easy, what works and what doesn't. There were a few days last week that I was ready to throw in the towel but I am glad that I kept plugging along.
The goal for this next week is to get my studying done (3 big tests) and to get to the gym to workout (at least twice). Let's see what happens!

Oh is it Wednesday already? My days are quickly fading into one another with the recent addition of a school schedule and homework! What was I thinking?

Anywho, got on the scale this morning and I am 201.6. I was secretly hoping for something that would put me under 200 but I guess that will have to wait for next week! Have a great Wednesday!

203.6! Not too shabby if I do say so myself!

Now I have to go back to teaching myself pre-calculas and analytical geometry. I HATE math!

Hi there....not sure if anyone even stops here anymore seeing as though I never seem to post.
I have decided that even if I have no visitors I am going to put some info out into the great WWW and hold myself accountable for my actions. With that being said....

Today I weighed in. I am 205.2! Not quite the healthiest number in the world. I get out of breath walking from my car to my house. I don't really have the energy to do much of anything anymore. I AM NOT HEALTHY!

On a happier note, when I started this journey 6 weeks ago I weighed 211.2. I have managed to lose 1 pound per week for 6 weeks (If you average it out). I am seriously considering Weight Watchers but I am not sure. For now I am watching what I eat, eating smaller portions, drinking lots of water, and eating a bit more frequently.

I can't guarantee that I will post here everyday, but Wednesday is the day that I weigh-in and I will at least post that. I figure if it is out there for the whole world to see I had better be doing something about it!

I am Karen's bulldog and I am on a mission...let's see if it works!
