Was gonna do it last year but then COVID happened...so I'm doing it this year. Just officially registered my classes on Tuesday! So I'll graduate next spring and I can't tell you how excited I am. One of my classes is criminology. I'm salivating for that class...this is my passion...law.
When I finish my associates, will be moving on towards my bachelors and I have a year to decide if I wanna make that more criminal justice or legal studies, because my long-term goal is to go into law. But I'm also interested in profiling...not sure. Law school or masters after that...plenty of time to decide.
I'm a young minded 42 - never too late. I hope this inspires someone out there that it's never too late to continue or further your education if that's a dream of yours. Also, I got my GED at 16, so I didn't get that graduation ceremony experience. Next year I'll get that experience and my kids will watch me. We're all looking forward to it, so exciting...
My dream is to help people who get rammed by the broke system (<----good vid on transformation in the system) - the wrongfully accused, getting the shaft during trial, defamation, slander, fighting against slumlords, family law, advocacy, fighting to get laws changed or passed. When I say "system," I mean everything, not just the above scenario. There's so much I want to do... But my other good news is my intermittent fasting update.
Wow, I'm shook! When you do it right it works SO FAST! The weight is literally falling off of me now that I've sacrificed my morning coffee. It really is mind over matter and it's so empowering to know that I can start my day without my coffee, which is shocking for me considering I used to be like this when it came to coffee... My self-esteem is worth it...so I have my first cup of coffee at two, which is when I break my fast.
I'm only doing this Monday-Friday, not on the weekends. I eat normal between two-eightish but still try to eat healthy and be mindful of what I'm eating. Not gonna lie, I'll eat a couple potato chips, or a cookie or two, or small portion of ice cream. I'm not dieting. This is different...
But I also eat fruit, veggies, and just like I normally would. I eat healthy and I eat some junk. I don't over indulge on junk. I believe in balance and that wasn't my problem. Nothing else worked for me in my over 40 weight loss journey - nothing, not even working out an hour a day.
And like I said, this wasn't a problem till I was in my mid to late 30s and had also developed gut issues. They say the gut health is the key to overall health...my gut is healing and this is helping while it heals. I think for me it was a combination, like I said before, of metabolism changes, sedentary work, and my gut issues.
But it's WORKING! Intermittent fasting works and I wish I didn't waste the first four weeks of my journey with my morning coffee. I would have reached my goal sooner. I'll weigh in at eight week mark which I believe is coming up in two weeks, then I'll share pounds lost. We'll just have to keep in mind that I messed myself up with the first four weeks.
Till next time...
With Love,
Carmen
