Day 6

Today was a very good day. Today I walked my son to the bus stop this morning and was not winded. YAY!!! I wore a shirt that I haven't worn in about two years. This is amazing. I have only been doing this for 6 days and already I feel wonderful. My clothes fit, I have more energy, I can play with my son without feeling like I can't breath. I don't know what took me so long to make this decision, but I suppose that it is better late than never.

I am a stress eater and a midnight muncher with a major sweet tooth, and today I had my first exam. I have been cramming like mad and I was not feeling very confident. Firstly this class is a distances ed class. When you have a distances ed class you never know what the work required is going to be like. Secondly your entire score is based on three exams. Thirdly the class is American Sign Language. All of this stress has been killing me and the only thing that has been saving my butt is Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Fudge Lite Bars. Thank God for sugar-free low-fat diet frozen treats. Then I found out that all the stress was for naught, the exam took me ten minutes to complete. But I guess it is better to over prepare than to under prepare and fail.

I feel so relaxed now, and Christmas is coming for me because I have a wonderful camera, camera kit, computer, and computer desk on the way and due to arrive next week. Thank you Pell grant! I am so stoked about getting this camera because it is added motivation to get out and go hiking or playing at the park with my son because I know I am going to get some awesome shots. And tomorrow I am going shopping to buy my son some school clothes and the rest of the stuff I need to finish out the semester.

So I am doing great and I am super motivated. I am banking that tomorrow is going to be just as great.
