New Semester... and some new goals

So, if taking on this dream of mine isn't enough, I have decided to (again) tackle weight loss.  Actually, I should say fat loss... there's a difference.

Anyway, I bought the P90X program shortly after my first 12 week personal challenge (Jan-April... lost 35lbs) and was happy with it, but I got lazy and complacent.  Now that I've regained 25lbs, I'm ready to get back in the game.

It's actually nice to know I can lose 35 pounds in a healthy way in 3-4 months, and 8-9 months to gain 25.  The numbers are in my favor.

School is going well so far, I'm taking three science classes this semester.  Chemistry remains about the same, but Genetics and Zoology are X-factors.  I feel like I understand the material presented in lecture, but the book is not utilized AT ALL in either class, so it's difficult to determine what to study or concentrate on in preparation for the exams.

All of the first exams will be after the Christmas break 2 weeks from now.  I don't understand the logic in scheduling exams AFTER a break.  All I can do is keep my eye on the prize, and keep my head in the game.  I studied Genetics tonight, and I'll concentrate on Zo tomorrow.

I'm a quarter of the way through the semester already... it's seems to blow by.  Well, that's all this time.  Happy holidays!!

FYI - Starting out at 229lbs as of today.
