Just an update!

I sent in my exams for Lesson 3 & 4 this morning and got the results back.(I'm still in Microeconomics, by the way). I got an 85% on lesson 3(I missed 3), it brought my cumulative grade down to an 87%. I got a 100% on Lesson 4 thought and brought my cumulative up to a 90%. Yippee!!!
Laura & Pat had Cheyann'es 1st birthday party Sat. aft(June 18th, her BD is 6-15). She had an absolute ball with her cake. I am going to miss them all while they are in New Mexico.
I went Tuesday morning for a breast sonogram. I had my mammogram done about a month ago and they said because I have dense breast tissue they wanted to do a sonogram. The tech said everything looked fine so that was good to hear. Now, I hope the only other tests I have to have for the rest of the year are to do with my degree! lol I am about all tested out.

LOSING & GAINING AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!

I am continuing to loose weight. I have now lost 7 lbs. I started using my treadmill more last week. Laura made a suggestion that I use it first thing in the morning since it helps burn more calories during the day. Last Wed. I made up my mind to get up as soon as the alarm goes off and use it while the coffee is brewing. It's so much better than coming home at night and trying to talk myself into changing and using it, still finding time for studying and also having to fix dinner. Now as soon as the alarm goes off I get up right away and use it. It is soooooooooooo much easier. THANK YOU LAURA!!!! I have so much more energy during the day and am actually handling the stress at work better. I also do my stretching exercises for my back so I actually have 30 mins of exercise the mornings I use the treadmill. Yeah for me!!!!!!
The gaining part is to do with my degree. I am about 1/2 thru the first course on my 4th, and most importantly MY LAST SEMESTER! This course is Microeconomics. I told Mike the scary part is this course is actually making more sense to me and I seem to be grasping it. lol I don't get reimbursed for this course but I still want to complete it with an A. So far, so good! This course makes more sense to me than Macroeconomics. But the instructor said both of these courses are two of the most difficult ones. I will say I have to agree with them. This one isn't as boring as Macroeconomics, thank goodness. I will keep everyone informed of my progress. The college gave me a six month extension, so at least I don't feel as pressured now.
The weather here has been horrible. It is supposed to be around 93 for the rest of the week with a comfort zone of 99. Now tell me seriously, they call that COMFORT????? lol They should call it "the humidity factor" like they refer to "the windchill factor", but definitely not a "comfort zone".
