Hi-Ho, Back to Work I Go.

Lesson of the day: work is boring (and hard) when you've only had three hours off sleep. My room is on the top floor of the house so it is a treat to sleep in when it is 90 degrees outside, probably inside too.

I am back at the school store working now for the rest of the summer. It should be nicer than working at the cinema. Although I do love getting to see movies for free, half-off concessions and a pretty chillax schedule...I need to make some money.

So, I'm sitting at work (having a chair is soooo nice) and I am surfing the Time Magazine website since it is my favorite thing to do that is work appropriate. I'd rather peruse Facebook and do some online shopping but Time will have to suffice. I came across a very interesting article about childhood obesity and whether or not their parents should have custody of them. Should Parents Lose Custody of Their Extremely Obese Kids?

Although I don't think children should be taken away from their parents for extreme obesity I do think there should be some sort of intervention to help kids lose weight in order to prevent health problems. Parents need to learn how to teach their children about eating right and exercising. I feel bad for toddlers who weigh more than 100 pounds because they aren't healthy and they probably suffer from bullying as well. 

In some cases it may not be the parents fault. It could be a lack of physical activity at school due to no recess or physical education classes.

I just thought I'd share that article because I found it interesting.

On to other things...

I have lost four pounds in the last four days. It may be water weight but I already feel a little better. I can button a pair of shorts I haven't been able to wear since last summer....so I guess that is some sort of progress, right?

And now that I have a somewhat normal work schedule I can make a somewhat normal workout schedule. My goal is 20 pounds by Christmas so that I can gain it all back over the holiday. That gives me just under five months...four pounds a month shouldn't be too hard. My problem with dieting in the past has been that I expected noticeable results right away. Hopefully I don't get discouraged if the results aren't immediate.

Anyways, tata for now.
