The Dream Continued

My bestie told me I need to keep up on my blog, so because of her I have a lot of catching up to do :), to satisfy my readers. I will happily do so....Man I didn't realize how long it has been since I have blogged. I have to keep up with it.

There has been some very important things that have happened in my life the past while. I have completed series 2 of HCG and on to my 3rd. Series 2 has been the best series so far, with the greatest loss of over 100 lbs. I'm on day 8 of series 3, with only a 8 lb loss so far. I have not been so staunch on keeping the diet, but I will be from now on. I want to be down another 100 lbs total by May 29Th, which is my 17Th anniversary. Closer to getting my motorbike :). Closer to my goal of actually looking good. Closer to my fitting into "sexy" clothes. Closer to everything I want to do and what I want to be.

Oct 1st I went back to school. Totally changing what I wanted to be "when I grew up". I no longer want to be in computers (although I will continue working w/ them in my new profession). I have decided that I wanted to become a teacher. My dream has always been to be a music teacher, but have decided to become a high school biology teacher. This will let me be and do what I've wanted to do ever since I was a little child. Maybe one day, I will fulfill my ultimate dream of becoming a music teacher, but either way, it is an important position.

Heather has also began going back to school. She is working on Elementary Education w/ emphasis on special ed. This is something she has wanted to do for a very long time. This has been the one goal she has always wanted to achieve, but has never had the chance to. She fulfilled her time at her position at DI and we had decided that she needs to pursue this and get onto a career she can be proud at.

I had a wonderful Christmas this year. Our yearly assistance went to a good, close friend this year. We were able to provide a Christmas to this family, total of 5 family members, including a dinner. It felt so good being able to help provide for a family, plus a close friend on top of it. I didn't get many presents myself, but used that money to provide for this family, so in the end, I received the best Christmas gift ever. This is the second year we were able to do this, and if I have any chance, it will be a yearly occurance. We have had help several times over the years, and this is my way of giving back. I love the feeling that I get by doing this. And all I ask is that the families that I help, pay it forward when and if their circumstances changes for the better.

Well folks, I must end this blog for now, but I will keep up on it. I have a couple of papers I need to write and get ready to turn in this week. I took to much time off of my school work. I have to get back on the ball. And to my bestie, thanks for everything and thanks for kicking me in the butt once again. You rock and, well you know, all that mushy stuff.
