General catch up

Wow, it's been forever since I wrote a blog on here. About time to catch up. Here's the random stuff happening in no particular order.

 

I am now at a weight less than I've been in approximately 12 years. As of Monday June 20, I was at 312lbs. 180lbs less than I was on Nov 23, 2010. 144lbs less than I was on the day of my surgery, Jan 10, 2011.

 

When eating at a resturant I no longer have a fear of being placed in a booth.

 

I am now "light" enough to use the Wii Fit balance board.

 

I have just completed my first college class since 1994. What a difference it makes wanting to be there and knowing I'm paying for the education.

 

At the end of June I will be unemployed for the second time in 15 months and for only the 2nd time in my life. Believe it or not I have mixed emotions about this. The industry which has provided a life for my family and I for nearly 20 years is frankly in the crapper, new construction related building materials. I'm looking at this as an opportunity to reinvent myself and perhaps find my true calling. This should allow me to return to college full time and finish my bachelors degree by next April.

 

My son just turned 18 and graduated from high school. He's now working at KFC and hates it. I am loving it. No better way to learn the value of a good education that having to do shitty manual labor. He can't wait to start college in the fall.

 

I think that's the story in a nut shell. Take care and thanks for reading.
