I had the grand ambition of having this be a blog wholly based on book reviews, but clearly I haven't done such a great job with that. I had to take a summer class and therefore had to postpone any for-fun reading, which eliminated my material for book reviews! Boo. If I'm in class(s) I don't feel that it's right for me to do fun-reading if there is still something I could be doing for school. I feel like I'm being lazy and a poor student if I do something for pleasure first. I'm not going into debt for the rest of my life to get mediocre grades. Anyway. I've actually read two books since my class finished, but haven't written anything about them because as soon as I turned the last page of one book, the reading monster in me demanded MOOORE so I picked up a new book and kept reading. I'll get to writing reviews eventually, but for right now I am LOVING just being able to read. (At least, for the next couple weeks, until I go back to school.)
Besides reading, the other big thing going on my life right now is Weight Watchers. I decided that I was finally ready to lose this weight for good, and I'll admit, I was sucked in by a commercial. I kept seeing Jennifer Hudson looking all fabulous, and she started out at almost the size I am now, so I looked into it and decided to join. My third "weigh-in" is tomorrow, but as of last week I have lost 7 pounds. And I have about... 63 more to go before I reach a weight that would result in an acceptable BMI number. I'm really hoping I can lose that before I graduate from college in May. Since it is a lot of weight to lose, I'm not going to completely berate myself if I'm not all the way there in May, as long as I make an honest effort.
