Four day weekend starts NOW
I am so happy that I have a couple of four day weekends ahead of me for the month of October. I was planning on going out of town to visit a friend of mine in Denver for 4 days but that plan fell through. So, instead of taking 9 days off I am going to hold off on the out of town visit and just take some extended weekends instead. Hopefully in January I can make the trip to Denver.
My experience with going back to school has been pretty good thus far. The hardest part was just making the decision and going through the hassles of getting registered and providing the school with all of the paperwork involved. Six weeks later and I am finding myself getting into a rhythm and figuring out when I need to do what. I work during the day and then I take a break and then hit the books. It makes for some long days during the week but if I get most of my stuff done during the week then I can have most of my weekends to myself.
For several months now I have watched a friend of mine at work lose weight using Take Shape for Life program. From what I can tell she took the weight off and has kept it off. Granted, she does not have to lose anywhere near what I need to lose but it works. Last week I made the decision to give it a 30 day trial. I bought my first months worth of pre packaged meals , snacks etc and starting on Monday I am going to give it a whirl. I have been reading on the support website of the men who have had a lot of success with this program as well. The key to the success is to stick with the program as it is designed and not cheat. During the day while I am at the office I should not have too much problem with this program. At night and during the weekends that is when this will be the most difficult. I may have to buy Katy a tranquilizer gun or a taser to keep me in check. I am thinking that once I see the pounds coming off that will be all the motivation I will need to stay on the program.
