Yes. Pretty moot, I'd say.

"Since we granted review the case has become moot. Truitt resigned his teaching position, relinquished his teaching credential pursuant to a criminal plea bargain, and subsequently died."

My Year of Personal Transformation

I didn't want to put anything officially down in writing until I passed some significant benchmark, but that happened today, so I might as well tell you all about my personal year of transformation I began starting this January 6th. It's been in the works for several months as I geared up and made time for what had to be done, but this January I started Weight Watcher's although I don't actually attend any meetings, began meditating everyday, and also began doing a few of my physical therapy exercises twice a day to get my back in shape. My goal is to weigh 125 by my birthday in August, be calm and strong for the Bar Exam this July, and be as happy with the outer me as I am with the inner me for the rest of my life. It was time to take control.

As of this morning I have dropped 16.2 pounds and officially weigh less than I did the other time I was successful at Weight Watchers. And unlike that time, it hasn't been a struggle, I feel good about continuing, and have a plan for getting where I want to be and maintaining it that is very doable. Also, Stephanie decided to do the point watching thing with me, and so we modified our diets and I am eating healthier than ever before, which feels great and makes it easier to be good. I weighed in this morning at 161.8 and have lost 3 1/4 inches in the past 3 weeks.

A few weeks ago I decided I was going to try and take up the elliptical trainer again, since getting to 125 through diet alone was going to be a huge struggle. Since I have been walking nearly every day ever since I got Titan last year, and since I had already lost some weight, my body decided it could handle this, which is wonderful since I love the elliptical machine and it's helping me be pro-active about getting the weight down more quickly. This week I also rode my bike to Chipotle with Stephanie to get her free burrito. It was my first bike outing in well over 15 years. I am planning to do it regularly and hope to get a road bike (inspired by our awesome Tour of CA experience) and become a cyclist, at least on the weekends. Additionally, I plan to learn how to roller blade with the dogs this summer to give me an alternative exercise and to make it easier to tire Titan out quickly once I start working. Finally, I am planning to move Amadeus here, finally, this May after I graduate. I have even figured out how to do all of this while working next year, assuming, of course, that I find a job.

So, from here on out I will keep you informed on my progress as a way to stay honest and motivated. I'd say wish me luck, but I know this is all about dedication, persistence, and hard work.

This week:
Elliptical trainer 4 times for a total of 135 minutes
Cycling 1 time for 50 minutes
Dog walking 5 times for a total of 165 minutes
Total: 350 minutes or 5 hours, 50 minutes
