I have still been losing weight and trying to stay on track, I have hit a plateau and have been at the same weight, 390ish, for quite some time. I've still been drinking the gallon of water a day, and I have bought myself a decent weight set and I use those every now and then, and I still park far away at places. I think I am at the point where my "water weight" is gone and I have to start working much harder to lose the actual fat, but our pool opens soon and I plan on being there any time I am not at work, so that should help a lot!!!
Speaking of work, I have gotten two new jobs since the last time I posted. They are both part time but I enjoy both, most the time :) I work at Subway as a sandwich artist, well I tend to do a lot of dishes when I work but that's my title. It is fun and challenging at times but I like it, I say most of the time because like any other place you get the "Ummm... Oh wait no... Let my 5 year old order..." people :) I also work at Michiana Used Music & Media, I worked there a while back and ended up leaving and the next day BuyCo hired me. Stuff ended up just not working with BuyCo and when the owner of Michiana Used contacted me I made the tough choice to leave BuyCo and my older brother Mike, who also works at BuyCo, to join Michiana Used. I think it was the best choice for me, we are busier here and I am getting taxes taken out so it won't slam me at the end of the year this time!
I started Vlogging daily and post those on youtube... My Channel... For those that don't know what Vlogging is or stands for, it is Video Logging, I take clips of myself doing whatever it is that day and make a Vlog of it and upload to youtube. I have done one everyday for 78 days so far, I plan on doing it for at least 1 year, my only setback is I tend to upload at sporadic times, I need to have a set time that I do them.
I have also started another endeavor called "Tom's Turkey Tuesdays" I just decided one day that I could help people and wanted to see how little it would take to feed 10 people in need. I went to the store and bought a loaf of bread, a package of turkey, sliced cheese, pretzels, some mini twizzlers, a ten pack of water, and lunch and sandwich bags for $13.97. Then I made up the lunches and my Mom and I headed out on Tuesday morning to hand deliver them. It went great and inspired people to help out, my older brother made a website devoted to it and his goal of making everyone self sustaining and we named it Change Michiana. We have done Turkey Tuesdays for 10 consecutive weeks now, I Vlog the people's faces and "God Bless You's" every week and put those videos on my youtube channel as well. The first 3 weeks my older brother and I took turns buying the supplies for the lunches but since then we have not spent a penny out of our pocket. Thanks to friends, family, friends of friends and family donating us with money or supplies we are set for a little while now!!! This past week we gave out 24 lunches in 12 minutes, the need is great and we feel like we are doing a lot but could do so much more! I'll attach that video so you can see the responses of the people we give to:
But that's what I have been up to the last couple of months, so I've been doing a lot, staying busy and trying to stay weight conscience. Oh I also started playing Minecraft with my older brother and Mom and I got our fishing license and have been going fishing when we make time for it! Mom caught 2 small fish last night, I have yet to catch anything but it will happen :) I'll also try to update here more and let everyone know what's going on in my life!!!
