Saw the doctor yesterday, and even though his scale showed me 6 pounds heavier than mine, (GRR!), it still showed a loss and he was very proud of me for it. He thinks by my next appointment in December we may be able to start lessening my BP meds, which would be WONDERFUL. And will also be a great incentive for me to stay on track through Thanksgiving!

On a less happy note, my business class really sucked last night and it was the one that I actually needed most -- the financial projections process. The instructor was completely scattered and gave out all kinds of random financial worksheets that none of us could really understand or use at this point, then told us to be prepared to present a draft of our entire plan in class next week! Which is ridiculous since several people in the class haven't even decided on their exact business yet! And which I, the person with the most work already done, can't even do because her only advice to me for getting the financial info I need to make my projections was "go get a job in a bakery." Oh, OK, let me find a bakery and get a job this week and pump my boss for his financial info on my very first day so that I can use it to get my plan together for next Tuesday! Just flat out stupid! Then she wants all to bring "guests" to the last class to present our plans to them! Even more stupid! I'm almost thinking of skipping the last two classes and just going to the good water aerobics class instead. I'd definitely get more out of it!
