Spite...

Another day has come and gone. Today, I got to substitute teach welding... as if I know how to do it... I was mainly there to make sure they didn't turn the torches on each other. My first year there, some kid smashed his fingertip, which was hanging off the edge of his finger. Lucky for me, when he came in the office to go to the nurse, he had his back to me, otherwise I would've spewed.

I kind of feel like I'm at a stop light in my life right now. You know, when you're waiting for answers that nobody knows? Well, almost nobody, but we know better than that. I'm trying to do some new things. If anyone's game, I got a poem to read on October 26th (Town & Country Books & Co. in Kettering, OH).

I mentioned earlier on my facebook page that "spite" is a good motivator to exercise. I don't know if that's true or not, or even if it's healthy to think that way. Most people when you're trying to lose weight are either encouraging or critical. For me, I feel like I let myself get overweight and keep it up for so long because eating is an easy way to relieve stress from criticism, worry, and other emotional issues. It's not easy to push away something you've gotten into the routine of doing for so long.

I'm between 233-232lbs right now. Exercised today, and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I also ate healthy. I enjoyed some boneless, skinless, teriyaki chicken chunks (that's what they were called!!!) and some blueberries sweetened with splenda. I feel good right now. Better after typing all this and sharing it with everyone. Thank you again for your continued support and encouragement. Hope you have a great weekend coming up. I'm in for it tomorrow, as I'm subbing for a class which the last time I was in, I ended up writing up four girls. You know they'll be out for revenge... Peace Out...

Forever In Christ,
