I made it to the end of the road. Wohoo!! Yesterday I completed the final obligations of my MSW. It feels glorious! I saw this picture on my school's website. Jack Shepard graduated from Columbia. So exciting for a Lost fan like me. I will be thrilled to join my friends in a sea of light blue on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009. This week I plan on recuperating. I'm going to relax, relax, relax and let it sink in that I finished my degree at Columbia University. I survived the Ivy League, baby!!
Many of you know that I packed on about 25 pounds of pudge during my cancer treatment last year. It was so discouraging as I had already worked so hard to lose about 70 pounds. Stinkin' cancer. Not enough to threaten my life, gotta pack on the pudge too?! When I was home with my family over Christmas my Dear Friend told me about this movie on netflix, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." I can't tell you how much the title resonated with me. The movie touts the benefits of juicing, (not to be confused with steroid use...haha), vegetable juicing. I figured it would be a good idea to try it. I had juiced veggies during chemotherapy at the suggestion of someone who beat Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer....but honestly, could not stomach the thought of it for awhile after chemo. Fast forward 2 months since I started my "Reboot" and I am down a glorious 25 pounds. First of all, I feel like I have found my secret weapon. Second of all, yes! 25 pounds! Woot woot! ...
YEA for you! Congratulations! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Zaneta! It feels great doesn't it? I have graduated twice now and plan to graduate next Spring with my Masters degree from BYU if all goes well. It's an exciting feeling. So what will you do now? Are you planning on staying in California?
