Well there goes my plan to update every Tuesday... but I had several miniature updates in between. Time to get back on track!

My workout is going pretty well. I've talked to several people and they told me that my previous plan was definitely strength-training. That's all well and good if I want to gain muscle mass. My current plan is to lose weight so my plan was going to cause me to gain weight instead of lose it. I've switched to a different regiment- I weightlift only moderate amounts, doing many reps, and I've also switched to a new machine- the eliptical. It's taking some getting used to, but I'm getting the hang of it. I hope to get 3-4 miles on it every day. Right now I'm trying to find time to work out at all! That being said, there is a special milestone that I'm approaching: I have about 4 more pounds to lose and I will be under 300lbs and... officially weigh as much as I did in my senior year in High School. This is special because I can say I'm as healthy as I was back then. The very idea that I have managed to wipe the last 12 years of steady weight gain away is awesome.

In addition to my work schedule being bumped earlier two hours, I've also been picking up overtime. It's all part of my plan to save up money for this fall. I'm confident I'll still have a job here working part time, but I still want to be prepared.

There are some wonderful developments with my social/love life and I wish I could share them here but for certain folks who read this blog. All I can say is that my free time is spent wisely with other people and not completely in a single player video game.

I've finished reading "The Beast" by R.L. Stine, a gift from Candi. It was very cute and not really scarey(maybe for the audience it is) but I'm glad she gave it to me and I'll cherish it. I'm also just about to finish The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I picked up The Millionaire Next Door audiobook so I'll soon be devouring that too.
