Cannon's Journal

Woo Hoo for going in the right direction :D

Cannon, you'll do great this year walking those 10 blocks - look how far you've come since the last time!!
 
Thanks for the kind words one and all. A few things I wanted to reply to:

School this year -- Blech! I don't like the kids this year at all. They are one of the most annoying classes I've had. There are too many kids that I'm really struggling to find the redeeming qualities in. Our principal is retiring after this year and I am not looking forward to that either. I figure one of two incompetents will take her job and I'll probably be looking for work elsewhere to avoid working for them.

The 10 block walk -- Oh that's a piece of cake for me. I've been walking around that as part of getting in shape. I'm no M2M, but I have come a long way since last year. However, it's kind of interesting to revisit the thing that finally convinced me to do something.

Losing a pound - I have a small bit of frustration that I know I won't hit my birthday goal, but I'll come pretty close. I made a concious decision to go slow and steady and try to make changes to my lifestyle that I could continue for the rest of my time on this planet instead of doing some crazy 600 calories a day all in tofu, salmon and grapes diet plan. I know its the right decision for me.

I hope everybody's having a great Thanksgiving week.
Joe

Morning Cannon!! Thanks for stopping by my diary!!! You are doing so well with your diet inspite of all the stress at work. Keep up the good work, and have a great Thanksgiving!!
 
Hey Cannon,
That's what its all about, a lifestyle change rather than just a quick diet. As long as you understand that, you'll be all right!! :)

Have a great day, and weekend. :)

EDIT - BTW, I tagged you too. ;)
 
Hmm, I'm back from Thanksgiving and it looks like I have a few things to take care of. First, I'm down to 410.4 so I might as well get working on that tracker. Any loss on Thanksgiving week is a good loss so I'm happy about that. I won't make my birthday goal, but gosh if I didn't come close :).

As for 5 interesting things about me:

1. I once went out with LBJ's granddaughter.
2. I had a public access show on cable around here for a decade.
3. I am generally a nice person, but my prankster side comes out when telemarketers call.
4. Among the skills in my repertoire are fencing, archery, tae kwon do, massage, improv, cooking and dancing. When I have time, I do take classes.
5. When I worked at a UHF television station, I once nearly messed up the entire day's programming because I wouldn't send faxes because the machine was out of toner (Think about it)

:D

I'll have to take some tips from you - whenever I try that here they just hang up on me. It's either that I need to improve my technique or I'm too off the wall and freak them out, don't know which.
 
Congratulations on the Thanksgiving week loss!! Woo Hoo! I laughed out loud at the "no toner" story...I'll bet you got in trouble for that! :p

Congrats on the Thanksgiving loss!! Thats super fantastic!! *happy dance*
 
Hey all, its time to get back on track after Thanksgiving now. I have a birthday coming up on Friday and then Christmas next month, but I definitely want under 400 pounds by the New Years. I will be checking everybody's diaries tonight and I'm going to be harsh :). Man, I don't want to teach today. As far as questions about my tagging answers:

A. The cable access show was just me and some friends screwing around and doing sketches. It is amazing what an extremely local celebrity it made me.

B. My favorite one with telemarketers lately has been when they call and ask me about refinancing my student loans (Now mind you this is 4 or 5 people a day and another 2 or 3 calling my parents), I calmly and cheerfully tell them "Oh I'm not going to pay those back". If they ask why I usually say, "Well I didn't like one of my professors". It is much fun .
 
We don’t have thanks giving in Australia (some thing I can be thankful for) lol
A big congrats for this week, I will drop in again soon just a quick visit tonight.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
 
Sorry

Sorry I haven't been around much this week, but school has been a bear. It gets a lot better after Thursday. That's when the last paper I will have to do for my masters is over with. Friday is my birthday so expect posts from me to be a bit sporadic until then. You all mean a lot to me and you are not forgotten.
 
Don't you worry about us, we know you're thinking of us...life just grabs us by the ears sometimes. :p Take care of you and that makes me happy!

I'm glad things are wrapping up with your studies..and it couldn't happen at a better time. You get to have a double celebration on Friday! *OHD shakes her pom poms in preparation for both big days*
