Well I changed my mind. While I will talk about my diet, I will also use this to talk about what's happening in my life. I think I should start each entry with 5 things that are going great in my life.

1. I think I'm in love. She's awesome.
2. I just signed a new lease on a new apartment.
3. Classes are doing okay, I'm on track to gain teaching certification by Fall of 2007.
4. I'm losing weight.
5. I'm not financially burdened at the moment. -I've only known her a couple weeks, but every time I see her I get butterflies in my stomach. I want to know more about her, but I don't want to frighten her away. I'd like to think I'm a great guy, and I hope she recognizes that in me.

-My new apartment looks great! Lots of room, price is right, utilities will be low... I can't wait
-I'm dropping physical chemistry. It'd be better to drop it now and retake it later, than to get a failing grade now. I cannot afford to get less than a C+ grade in any of my chemistry classes, so this is the wisest course. While I can still withdraw without an academic penalty, I still have to pay for the class regardless. Oh well.
-I know I'm losing weight. The scale at the gym doesn't go high enough(shut up) but I wake up with lots of energy even after little sleep. I've been following the Atkins diet pretty well, and I'm quite proud of my progress. Here's hoping I can fight temptation long enough to get down to 220lbs
-With my taxes, my student loans, assistance from my friends/family, I'm not worried about paying my bills or where my next meal is going to come from. It was scary for a while(January and February) but I've reached a point where its not a huge worry. I'm looking at getting a new job soon so I hope that turns out to be everything I want it to be(a schedule around my classes, pays better than the one I have now )

That's it for now. This is pretty cool, writing in my own journal. It gives me a chance to reflect on the positive aspects of my life. I'm an optimistic man, so this will be yet another tool to show that.
