Yay, some improvement.

Well, let me preface this weeks weight with this. I used to weigh at night, and after discussing it with a few people, it would be better to weigh in the mornings, as it would be more consistent. So with that in mind this weeks weight is : 282.4

Now I know that a lot of that is due to the different time, but the last two weeks I have been weighing a few mornings a week, just to see and it was usually around 285. So the 282 is a pretty good sign that I am still losing, regardless of the time I weigh. Next week will be the real test.

This weeks diet wasn't great, but not bad either. I did however, get Brian McCann's autograph, so that made it worthwhile.

Deep thoughts for the week. Lately I have been seeing shows on t.v. about people addicted to something (Intervention), or involved in something (Beyond Scared Straight) that blows my mind. I can't imagine doing something that so obviously hurts my family. The guy on intervention has his whole family there, daughter and son just pouring out their hearts and crying their eyes out. He gets mad, leaves and basically tells them to shove it. What is so great about alcohol that is better than family? Then on Beyond Scared Straight, these kids are out fighting, robbing, doing drugs, and just breaking their families hearts. I just don't understand how someone could so blatantly hurt their family like that. I say all that for this, while walking around my neighborhood, I have seen numerous broken bottles (of liquor or beer) and even other drug paraphernalia (it was already broken, if it wasn't I would have done that myself). It blows my mind, because I know that their are many of my students who live in this neighborhood as well. Everyday at work, I realize what these kids have to deal with, and I always think to myself  "How would I have turned out if I had to deal with what they do".  Would I chose to fight against it and make myself a better person than my surroundings, or would I just fall into the same traps that the people before me fell into?
