Weight Loss. Achievement Unlocked.

As it turns out, I've achieved my first weight loss goal and have officially dropped 30 pounds. For me, this is extra good news. I have been working my butt off to see some sort of improvement, and I have. I've been going to the gym at least five times a week. I go for a little over an hour, in which I burn over 1000 calories. My food intake hasn't changed much, but I know that it needs to. Especially considering that I eat out way more than I should. I did however, give up soda. I haven't had one since August 1st, unless you could the little bit of ginger ale with whiskey. I also minimized my fast food intake, extremely. I've only had it a handful of times since August, and it wasn't a ton of it.

I tell you all of this, for no reason other than the fact that I am proud of myself and my progress. I still have a hard time seeing it in myself, although I did post a picture on instagram from July and now and I can sorta see it.

I started this weight loss because I was tired of feeling bad about myself. With being dumped, I had a huge purge in my self esteem, which wasn't that great to begin with. I'm now in a place where I am grasping my life, and doing things for me, not for anyone or that asshole of a boy I used to love. There is even a new boy I have taken interest in, and hopefully I will be able to track him down and give him my number soon.

All in all, I feel well. I'm also a living mantra of Mr. Feeny's "Do Good."

New Year.. New Direction

How in the world is it already 2014?

I feel like the majority of 2013 was completely stolen from me.

2014, I'm owning it.

I've decided to only better myself this year. I plan to make myself a better person, and to continue to learn and grow as a screenwriter. Also, as a person.

I plan to get my act together and start a brand new screenplay within the next few months. I'm also going to write it as if it was an assignment, or a job. I'm going to make myself have deadlines and due dates, and I'm going to stick to them. I always found when I had a due date, I was better about finishing the task.

I'm also going to start my job search seriously. This will be much easier when my dipolma is in hand, but I need to start looking and seeing what is out there, and where it is.

I'm not completely against relocation, but there are things that are keeping me where I am at. My dad for one, friends for another, and a general satisfaction with my town. I think that if I do end up in the Seattle area, or even Portland, I'd be ok too.

I'm excited to dive into this year, and see what I can teach myself.

I mean, just in a few months I shot myself into gear, and I've come so far.

Hold on, It's going to be one excellent ride.
