This is my weight loss life on Tumblr. I've always known what to do, but never had the willpower or support to really do it right.
With everyone's help, I will get there and make a change that WILL be Good.
My starting weight was 280 lbs.
I've just broke the 235 barrier; I have no idea at this point what my UGW is. I just know that this is a long journey, and I'm making progress every day.

Univ. of Florida Eliminates Computer Science Department, Increases Athletic Budgets.
Forbes.com: The University of Florida announced this past week that it was dropping its computer science department, which will allow it to save about $1.7 million. The school is eliminating all funding for teaching assistants in computer science, cutting the graduate and research programs entirely, and moving the tattered remnants into other departments.
Students at UF have already organized protests, and have created a website dedicated to saving the CS department. Several distinguished computer scientists have written to the president of UF to express their concerns, in very blunt terms.
Meanwhile, the athletic budget for the current year is $99 million, an increase of more than $2 million from last year. The increase alone would more than offset the savings supposedly gained by cutting computer science.
Jesus, guys! You know, Computer Science wasn’t on the list of shitty majors. Not that I think they’re actually shitty majors, but really? Computer Science?
SCIENCE BAD! SPORTSBALL GOOD! WAY TO GO AMERICA!
So why are so many Florida students trying to get into UF?? So frustrating!
Go UCF, where they actually care about education and not just sports.

Total Loss to Date: 53.8 LBS :)
This was a really good week. I ate right and didn’t drink too much alcohol (which I have found to be a major catalyst in how my weight loss goes). I didn’t work out much, but I did today, and that’s a start. Work has been busy, but I shouldn’t use that as an excuse, but when you are working 12-15 hour days for days/weeks on end all you want to do is go home and veg. Which is also why I haven’t posted on Tumblr of late. Trying to do better.
This should be my mantra forever…

Favorite Sunday Dinner
Just made, and ate, probably my favorite Sunday dinner. Gina’s Herb Dijon Pork Chops with parmesan risotto. Honestly one of the best things known to man. :)
I didn’t really used to like pork chops. The only good way to eat them used to be to put applesauce all over them. Not any more. This is an absolute awesome recipe.

50 POUNDS GONE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! Man, that feels good. It’s been a long time coming, but I really feel like I’m on the right track again and I’m feeling really happy about life. The last couple of months have been a struggle, mostly because I was not working out and because I had gotten a little too complacent as to what I could get away with food wise. Now I’m back on track on both fronts. And you know what? I get RESULTS! Amazing how that happens. :-)
Tonight’s dinner! It’s been a while since I posted dinner pics, so I figured it was about time. 4 oz. NY strip steak, mushrooms and onions sauteed in butter spray and grilled corn on the cob. Super Yummy!
Got a lot of good exercise today planting a new garden. Every year we go through this, and every year the Florida heat takes its toll. This year, we pulled everything up and I planted roses. I’ve always loved roses, and I’m pretty good with them (the rose picture I use for my profile is actually one of mine).
I’m looking forward to having this will evolve over time. My husband is looking forward to the fact that he may not have to re-plant every year!! :)
