w00t!
Side thought before I start the actual post: Why does it say on my Dashboard that I only have 89 posts?! I know I have more than that.
Ok, on to what I originally planned to write about!
Even though today's a Sunday it's been pretty productive. I've been doing laundry (in fact, I'm about to start another load after I blog) and I went to the gym a little while ago. Hense, the title of the post ("w00t!"). I got on the scale and I found out that for the first time in three years, I weigh below 300! Currently I weigh 296 which means I've lost 30 pounds in the four months that I've been on this plan. I'm extremely proud of myself! Gotta say it again: w00t!
Yesterday was good even though it didn't turn out exactly how I planned; but it's all good. I went to the ISSMA district marching band competition with Emily yesterday (she's a music ed. major at IPFW and works with Elmhurst High School's band) and, for the most part, it was a good time. Elmhurst got totally screwed! They put on a great performance and missed a Gold rating be about a tenth of a point. I'm not too sure what the "official" reasoning was (I'm certainly no expert in band competitions, even though I do enjoy them and have been watching them for years since both of my sisters and my brother were/are in the band) but I'm willing to bet it was something petty. We stayed for the rest of the competition and I really enjoyed it. Bands from Mississippi ought to come up here and take some ideas from the bands around here. Northrop did especially well! Their show just totally blew me away, especially when they broke it down at the end.
Needless to say, the fact that they got screwed kindda killed Emily's mood. So we ended up hanging out with some of her band friends last night instead of doing what we originally planned (which was to come here so I could cook dinner for her and then we were going to watch a movie). I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed but it turned out all good. I mean, she had a bad day so I understand. We still had a good time, though. It just means that we'll have to re schedule.
Well, it's time to celebrate my good day by finishing my laundry! I may write somemore tonight depending on what else happens today. Holla!
