I’m pretty much back to where I was July of last year..

Todays measurements:

    23. 02/24/12

• CW: 225.8lbs
• Waist: 42”

Other things I am noticing are bulging shoulders, arms and legs. I’m most proud with my legs since its a product of paddling dragon boats.

I’ve always had thick legs but that there my friend is straight out of a dictionary…(definition) LOL

To let you in on a little bit of myself just for the sake of this exuberant moment of my life, I should have graduated from college and I should have graduated long time ago. But, Life happened…

Life at home was difficult at an important transition in my life. I started failing at my university, things at home became worse, mom got sick, then next thing you know I’m stuck running a household and working for a living with debt hanging over me like the grim reaper to this day. Recently, I saw my chance to become better, to improve my situation and get myself out of this hole. So here I am taking that chance. A risk I am willing to take for the sake of my family, for others and for my future wife and kids.

Today I paid a visit to a city college counselor. Something I haven’t done in a long time. He reviewed my transcripts and said “I don’t see why you cant transfer now other than the fact that you missed the transfer application time back in November.” I had all my General Education done and I was pretty much ready to transfer to a University. BUT I told him, I want to do classes toward my major before I go. We discussed my major classes and heres pretty much what was conveyed to me:

• You already have clearance to take the first classes you need to take for biology
• Take some of your major classes here during fall 2011 
• Apply to your University in november
• Take more of your classes spring 2012
• Then by fall 2012 attend Cal State Fullerton

I was like WOOOOHOOOO!!!! Progress! I can see myself graduating a Bachelor of Science in Biology… AND Beyond… CANT STOP ME NOW! I SEE MY FUTURE! AND I BELIEVE IT!
