Pushing for the end of the trimester!

Boy this has been a busy, but fun week. I had leadership training at work the last two days which was a BLAST! The folks that were in that class were primarily from the brands, and it was great to get to see their points of view on the business and how they handle situations.

Meanwhile, I am plugging away at a research paper AND an e-commerce website for my two classes with the trimester only a week and a half from ending.

Oh yeah, I have a final next week too! Guess I have to stay off the egg nog (as if) for a few days.

Of course in these leadership classes, they provide things to keep our hands busy (molding clay, pipe cleaners, etc). I of course took this as an opportunity to play craft corner. See the pics below (taken with a cell phone so a little crappy).

I promise to blog more!

Hello all,

I have really gotten lazy on this and just don’t post to it anymore so here goes.

I am just about to finish another semester of school. Still doing very well in school, just feel like I will never finish. Looking forward to having an 11 day vacation with no work or school. Just me, my computers, and my cats.

My weight loss is still going pretty good. I am still around 368 pounds, which is still a LONG way from where I was this time last year. I am still working out regularly, working toward that 2 mile a day goal I have.

Catherine and I are buying an eliptical machine and along with our bike and bowflex have decided to turn one of our bedrooms into a workout area. We have other stuff too, but those are the large pieces of equipment.

I have recently discovered facebook, and am ADDICTED!!! If anyone out there does facebook and I haven’t contacted them, look me up!

I am also really just getting more familiar with this whole web 2.0 technology and am embracing it as those who are much younger than I have done. If you have any suggestions for sites I may visit, please feel free to post comments with the sites here.

Thanks everyone, and I will post some new pics soon!

My original blog:

Holiday officially starts today at Limited Brands!

Greetings all,

Holiday started today at Limited Brands and of course in the techie area that means we are in high alert all the time for this is when we do most of our business. Lots of preparation has gone into this holiday run as it does every year so hold on to your seats folks!

Update on my weight loss too. I am down to 368 pounds which is 227 pounds total weight loss. I am feeling good and have started working out in the mornings now to help boost my metabolism for the day. So far so good.

I did 1.75 miles yesterday on the eliptical machine which is a HUGE accomplishment for me as I normally only get about 1.25 miles. My short-term goal is to get to where I can do 2 miles every day. I am sure it won’t be long.

Thanks to Takahashi for keeping me motivated to go to the gym regularly even though he stood me up today!

New Blog for a New Life

Hello everyone,

Just thought I would give a fresh start to my blogging. My surgery has been a huge success so far and having a blog to share my progress with all my friends and family has been awesome.

Now on with the next chapter my life.
