Well, I got out of the gym last night and remembered that I had turned my phone off before English class.  I turned it on and had a message from Alan.  I called him back and talked to him for a while.

Alan is having one of those weeks.  He and his girlfriend broke up (potentially for good this time) Again, and he was mad and just needed to vent his frustrations.  I'm glad he called me.  I listened and talked to him and although I don't know if I can, I hope I made him feel just a little bit better.  Alan said he would be interested in going offroading with my friend Rich, his buddies, and I.  I put a post on the forum at Inland Northwest Adventures (Rich's website/forum) asking Rich if it would be ok if Alan could come too and am awaiting Rich's reply on it.

I did really well yesterday, I ate almost nothing, (had an apple for breakfast, 2 apples for lunch, and had carrots for snacking in between, then had a sensible dinner but did splurge and had a small piece of chocolate cake )  and I walked to work, went to the gym, and walked home.   So, outside of what I walked during work, I walked/jogged (at the gym) a total of 3.5 miles yesterday.  Hopefully I can keep this up and lose some weight.  It would be in my benefit to lose 50ish or more pounds I think.  And this year I want to go on the Pilgrimage with University Ministry and NOT wimp out on the 15 mile hike (last year I made 6 miles of the 15 and rode in the van the rest of the way)!  So I gotta get started, the Pilgrimage is in September.

I talked to my old roommate/adopt-a-brother Mikey who now lives in Michigan with his girlfriend Tina.  Mikey says he's gonna match me pound for pound on the weight loss.  So he and I have started a little competition on the matter.  I told him my weight and he told me his and we are going to reevaluate on Fridays.  (I wanna beat him more for the reason that he's Mikey and I just want to have a good reason to be a smart ass back to him!  He's such a smart ass himself, always has been. )

I also got my first English paper back yesterday and I got a B+ so I'm pretty happy about that too!

Anyway, that's the update for my life from yesterday!  Just wanted to put it on the Blog.
