So.. Good News All Around

Apr 29, 2009

I know it's been ages since I've posted. Did the big cruise thing Easter week. Lots of fun, gained a pound. *lol* Yah, but not too upset. Frankly, I was a bit bad. Ate tons of seafood and red meat, some chicken when it was moist enough... plus salads (covered in lunch meat and cheese) and sugar-free desserts. Also tried a new drink, Amaretto Sour, though it was just a few sips. My friend Duck had the rest. Made sure to get in lots of protein before, too. Generally stuck to healthy choices (grilled, baked, broiled, etc) but I knew I was over-indulging in carbs w/ the cake and stuff. At the same time, I got plenty of exercise and only overate (with icky results) twice. All in all, it was an awesome vacation. Wouldn't do a full week again anytime soon though, but it's looking like we might do a shorter family cruise again next year.

In other news, I'll be getting my Masters in Library Science from NCCU on May 16 with a 4.0 and other honors. Plus, I finally have my cap and gown ordered. Decided to lower my weight a bit for it and went with 195 lbs. As it happens... this morning I finally weighed myself for the first time since right after getting home-- and I'm at 196.4! OMG, I have lost 102 pounds! I'm in the century club AND I'm under 200! I could hardly believe it... I'm so happy!

Finally, things are going really well with my new branch. We're gearing up for the big Summer Reading Program. Still kind of antsy about doing children's programming but happily I only have to deal with the older group, 8-12 year olds.

Well, have to get ready for work, so off I go. Hopefully will have more time to write in the new future.
