Up to this point
A lot has happened in the last few years. I don't know where to start talking about all of it though. Usually, I'll start typing/writing whenever I'm writing in my journal or blogging and then the words will start to flow. So, hopefully that will happen lol...
ugh. lol.. Papa left for San Diego this morning. We didn't get to talk much while he was home, but that's usually how it is. I should write to him more often this time around like we used to through emails when he'd be out to sea. I miss that. He's in the Merchant Marines, and is a retired Navy veteran. So, growing up and even now we haven't had much of an opportunity to get to know each other. My parents are still together though. I feel bad for mom because Papa is gone for majority of every year. Me and mom have had a rocky relationship, but I think it's gotten better lately. I want us to be closer too. Now is the perfect time to get closer to her especially because I'm not working now, and won't start back at school until August of this year.
Man, I really hope that I do well this year. I went to a private college and was doing great until I had to withdraw because I was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had to have surgery and chemotherapy treatments. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was though. My doctors and nurses were and are so nice. Some of them are even on my facebook lol. I have an appointment coming up, they'll probably get on me about cancelling my appointment with the urologist, but I did that because I couldn't afford the co-payment. But, I'll reschedule an appointment with him soon though.
I hope I can find a job soon. I probably shouldn't have quit my old job, but the drama at work was starting to become too much. At least I managed to make some good new friends from it though. I'm going to go on the employment commission website tonight and look through openings. If I can't find anything soon, I wouldn't mind working a fast food job honestly. They're almost always hiring. Anything would be great at this point.
Other than all of that, things in general are okay. I've lost quite a bit of weight since my last weigh in with my nurse. I was at 254 pounds according to their scale, and now I've maintained my weight at 230 pounds recently. I was at 225 the other day, but weight can fluctuate with eating and drinking etc. I'll weigh myself next Sunday and continue to weigh myself once a week in the morning. I want to go to the gym right now, but it's already getting a bit late and I don't really want to encourage my body to stay up late since I've been going to bed at around 5 or 6 in the morning and not waking up until 6 or 7 at night. Tonight, I'm just going to relax and attempt to sleep at a decent time then I'll start my workout regiment in the morning refreshed and ready to workout and lose weight. What I plan to do is eat mostly if not only micronutrient foods, like fruits and vegetables of course. I did that for a few days, but fell off the good habit wagon. This time though I'm more determined.
Well, I think I'm gonna get off here for a bit. I'm gonna clean my room and change Max's bunny litter and then watch some of the Oprah dvd's that I bought at Goodwill :)
Thank you to anyone/everyone who has read this journal entry. I intend to keep up with blogging/journaling in here and hope to make some good friends with you guys too!
