weight loss

Ok.  So as I mentioned in my previous post, I've been pretty diligent about getting to the gym 5 days a week for the past month or so.  What I haven't been as diligent about recently is watching what I eat.  I'm sure that's why I've sort of been hovering around the 200 pound mark.  In my defense (read: my excuses are that), Jon and Joe were here for almost a week, and during that time I pretty much just ate (and drank) whatever I wanted.  Since they've left, I've been quite busy with school work and preparing for interviews and the like (see previous post).  Excuses stop here.  I'm within shouting distance of both my target weight and feeling comfortable about posting before and after pictures.  Until then, here's a graph of my weight since I started keeping track with an app for my phone...

quick update

I know it's been a while, but I've been really busy.  In the time between my last post and now, I've had a two mid-terms, and a bunch of reading for the classes I will be done with next week.  I also started the interview process for an internship with Northwestern Mutual; they offered and I accepted a position in their Riverside branch.  I've had to fill out a lot of paperwork and I now have to complete a bunch of internal training and prepare for my CA state insurance sales licensing.  I'm really excited for this opportunity and I'm trying to keep an open mind about everything as I go.  Oh and Jon and his brother Joe were out here for ~5days too.  It was a lot of fun getting to hang out with them although I didn't get as rowdy as I did during their last visit.  During their visit, Ali and I ran a 5K in Redlands.  I feel like I could have run it faster than I did, but I kept pace with Ali throughout the race.  We only walked for about 1 block and we finished in about 35 minutes.  I've been pretty diligent about working out recently.  I'll post a blog about that when I get back from the gym today.  Until then reader...
