10.01.2010 Friday New Beginning

Have been looking forward to this day for the entire week. A day to make a new beginning. Weighed in. I don't really want to come out by 241 it is. I met with my advisor and she has just come off of a successful stint with Weight Watchers and is at the 140 mark. That's where I need to be. This is absolutely insane to take on one more life altering activity, but I don't think that this can wait. (sorry about the pun). Investigating the WW on-line option, but I think for this kind of struggle I'm going to need a community of support with some "skin-on" although the on-line version is tempting especially if there is daily accountability and encouragement.

Feel very good about class this week and the doubts have quieted down. Going over my course plan with a December 2012 graduation goal makes it easier to visualize. That is going to be agressive but doable. This, hopefully, will fulfill my bargain to graduate with Dennis in the audience instead of pushing up daisies. He seemed withdrawn if not depressed this afternoon. I caught him again, sans crutches, trying to walk to dog and he didn't like being held accountable for not protecting his foot. We went to the neighborhood Pizza King and talked alot about higher education and life long learning and how to stave off stagnation. He seemed engaged and maybe actually contemplating (again) what he could be doing with his idle life. I should be quilting, but decided to try to knock out the back log of this log. I'm getting close and appreciate being forced to conquer this blogging software. I need to figure out the slide show feature and then I'll be good to go even after this semester's learning is history. Good week. No drama....no llama drama.
