a little over 1/4 of the way there!

Wow...down 35 pounds, although I'll admit I thought it would be more by now. I haven't done my measurements in a while, though, so I think I may try to do that this weekend. I need all the encouragement I can get. I'm not getting disappointed or anything, I'm still very motivated and happy to be missing that 35 pounds, but as usual, I want more. Guess I should be used to that by now.

I did wear a brand new pair of jeans to school today, but ended up unbuttoning them within the first two class periods. When I wear things that are too tight, my port hurts, so I guess I'll just have to wait to wear them correctly, when I lose about ten more pounds. But that's ok. I have time...at least I hope so!

I actually got to enjoy sushi last weekend, which was a real treat. It was probably the cheapest sushi date we've ever had! I ate all of two gyoza dumplings, two ebi (shrimp) without the rice, and three pieces of California Roll, which I savored as long as I could. I am so happy it all worked out well, so I know I can enjoy that again sometime. Oh, and did I mention the rice wine? heheheh Yeah, couldn't have sushi without it!

I'm back to my part time job this weekend. Only four hours on Sunday, but it's been over a month and a half. We'll see, but I don't anticipate any problems. I just have to get back into the grind. Sometimes I feel like $7/hour isn't enough, but it gets me off my butt and I enjoy catching up with people and seeing other teachers. I just hope we are busy and the time goes by quickly.

That's about it for now. I'm not writing in this as often as I know I should, but now that school started...well, who has time to do anything!
