"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

~Theodore Roosevelt

163.4

Lowest weight yet this morning. I was 163.4! That's 8.5 down from where I started. Hope it lasts. I've been thinking lately that I wish I had measured myself before I started trying to lose weight. I didn't really want a picture of how chubby I really was--aside from the fact that I don't have anything revealing enough to see just how bad it was nor would I wear something like that...

Some days I almost feel skinnier. Most days I don't. Yet some how there are 8 pounds that have disappeared from somewhere. I wish I knew if my legs or arms or stomach had shed some centimeters--or whatever is reasonable for this much weight.

So, I've been sick. Just a cold--sore throat, headache, achy, etc. Not fun. Luckily I have nothing to go do with my life and can sit at home being sick. Seriously though. I haven't really been able to exercise. I did have a job interview on Tuesday. It was for a part time mail clerk position at Emdeon. Still haven't heard back. I've applied for a whole bunch of  jobs and this is the only interview I've gotten. I have received several emails saying companies were going with someone else though.
