Congrats on week 2!

The college professors that I enjoyed and remember most are the ones that truly LOVE their subjects! Most people are not fond of Organic Chemistry. A weeder pre-med class (lots of people fail and then change their majors to something else). Dr. Montana LOVES Organic Chemistry. When I took his class, I was just hoping to survive. Even though the subject by itself wasn't initially all that interesting to me, I became interested because of the teacher's PASSION. He was so excited to come to class and tell us about how the molecules behave under this condition or that...and he'd even act out the chemical reactions. He brought a rather dry subject to life!

So...be sure to let YOUR PASSION for your field shine! It will draw others in, and make your presentation memorable.

Proud of you for going after your dreams! Keep up the good work!

Sorry I haven't been on this thread for awhile as I had issue with my computers loading your videos on the desktop and my laptop had no speech. The laptop is still a mess but I did get the video problem solved on the desktop and was able to watch several of them.
Rick I can understand about going off NS due to the financial situation. Were you getting your insurance discounts, were you using the costco cards that you can purchase for $60.00 when on sale yet they give you $100.00 worth of food? Were you using the shelf or frozen? My shelf food package is approximately $150. I am on the weekend off plan but I do not do the whole weekend off. I usually will do 1 meal a day off but do follow the PF and SC food plan. Just thought I would ask those questions as you might not realize about the discounts and cheaper plan.
11 laps is fantastic and I hope you are proud you have done that many. You will get the 12th lap in when your body is ready to move there. Such cute dogs you had walking with you. The bigger dog Buddy looked like he was ready for a drink but the other one was wanting to play.
Congratulations in starting your classes. You sure had a lot to do that first week. I am taking some on line classes for my recertification. At my age it is horrible to get myself in gear and do the class. I keep wanting to do other things instead.
Keep on trucking with the weight loss and the exercise and I am sure you will see more weight coming off in the months ahead. You have done such a great job so far-Please do not give up! The older you get the harder it is to come off.
