29 years old and just starting collage!

I don’t care I’m excited!

So what and when am I taking class?

I am taking my 2 Year Associate of Science Degree. Health and Kinesiology.

I start on the 29th of August!!!

I start with my “Government” and “Stretch and flexibility” course.

Then in Sept (25th) I start my “Math”, and “Athletic Injury” courses.

In Oct. I finish my GOVT. class and start my ”Speech” course.

Then everything comes to an end in Dec. Last class ending on the 17th.

I am taking 5 classes, 13 hour credits.

I like the way my classes are spread out; it gives me time to pay for the books! LOL

Anyhow, I knew I was signing up for collage but I had no idea I would take off this fast!

So now I am having to re-think my previous plans..

I will not be attending the Girls Scout Trailblazers camping event I have class that weekend….

I will not be able to fly to my Friends wedding in Oct. as I had been planning to do :)

I have class…

Neither, Sunday Belly dance guild nor Tuesday Fighter practice will be affected by “MY” classes (YAY) we are still waiting to see what Dales class Schedule will be.

Since Belly dance is not affected the Girl Scout meetings wont be either!

Labor Day and Emer’s Birthday should be in the clear too!

Halloween the only class I’ll have that Tuesday ends at 10:45 am! Weeeeeeeee!

I have no idea about November holidays compared to my classes, but I will be out before Yule Holidays!

Our weeks just got a lot more crowded!

I can’t wait to see what Dale is taking! I know we will have the same English comp 1 class.

All right enough already, I know your bored reading this LOL

YOU GO!!! - YOU will love it. It really fives you a greater sense of self worth - or at least it did me. After concentrating so long on my family - I needed to do something for me. School was first and Lap Band was second - hmmmm wonder what will be third.

I am 33 now and in Nursing School - for the past two years I have worked on my core classes and now I am starting the real thing tomorrow!!! I waited 13 years from the time I graduated high school to go back to college. I have a husband and three kids (7yr, 3yr, and 11 months) and school full time - it's tough - but worth it.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Congratulations, Nana, a new adventure is about to begin. I went back to school at 29, too, for seven years. At a low point about halfway through my first year I was bellyaching to my sister about how I was going to be 36 by the time I was finished, and she said to me "You're going to be that old anyway, what do you want to be doing then?" That sustained me through any further low periods, and I have absolutely no regrets.

So remember that if you ever feel like giving up, the time passes no matter what you are doing.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
