Getting Closer

OK, so I am getting closer to becoming a student. I got the word that I can use the government program to attend two schools - first the community college for my generals and then transfer it over to the 4-year school for the bachelor's degree. So that's good to know. Thursday me and my friend (who also happens to be named Cheryl, I call her "C2" and she calls me "C1") are going to the community college to ask all our questions and see about getting registered. We can't start until the Spring Session (which, in tri-mester world is really winter - January). But that is OK, gives us time to study for placement tests and to get our backpacks and pencil cases!

Regarding the weight - OMG, I don't know what is happening here! I weighed today and now I'm up about 8 pounds from pre-summer. I haven't had a McDonald's sweet tea in over a week! What's up with this (besides my weight)?? I am going to start doing the protein drinks in the morning to see if that helps fill me up. I switched from my protein infused cereal to Cheerio's and maybe that wasn't a good idea. I've been working out 3x week for the last few weeks, so don't think I'm slacking in that area. I still want to blame some of it on my doctor taking me off the depo shots. OK, that's probably some of it. Guess I'll pump up the protein and see if that helps. Very frustrating!

Not a whole lot of other stuff going on. I have a very busy and fun-filled weekend coming up: A play with my sister on Friday night (community theater), Gopher's football game on Saturday with my friend Cathy and volunteering at the Pancreatic Cancer "Purple Ride" event on Sunday. Hoping for nice weather for both Saturday and Sunday's outdoor events!! Soon I'll be getting prepared for the 12th Annual Sister's Weekend! It's always a special time for us to be together. Although Sandy wasn't able to be with us last year due to her health, it will be different this year with her in heaven. We plan to salute her with a drink (not that she ever drank, but we thought it would be fun). More about that to come!
