Brammy's August 2018 update

[giantsfan2016]

Well there's not much of an update for me for August. Still no employment, so that still means no motor vehicle. On the plus side I reached my first goal weight of 270 pounds on Sunday. Why is that an important goal? Because that was the weight I was when I was let go from Stop and Shop nearly 21 months ago. I had put on about 17 pounds after that. (Don't ask). I could've lost that weight (and more) more quickly if I was more committed to it. The bad news now is I've had a minor health problem since Monday, which may have caused me to gain 2 or 3 pounds. (Again, don't ask). Next goal weight is 245 pounds. I hope to lose those 25 pounds by the end of the year. Provided this minor health problem goes away I think it's doable.

As for employment, I'm giving myself until September 30th to find something. I will not throw myself off a ledge if I don't meet that goal, but that's the goal I set for myself because I believe if I start working by the beginning of October, I can save enough money to visit a friend who lives out of state for his birthday in January. I have to put money aside for things. One of the first things I need when I get my next job after new clothes - all my t-shirts are too big (and stained) and the bottoms of my jeans are ripped - is a new phone. I thought I wouldn't need a new phone for a while because I like the phone I got last year - an LG Olympus Zone 3, but two things. One it doesn't have enough memory (there's a lot of mandatory crap that Google won't let me delete) and 2 even though I can't use it as a phone since I can't buy minutes for it, I use it as a stop watch when I walk and wi-fi internet when I go out and about and one day in June I was putting it in my pocket and it fell on the brick walkway in front of my house and the screen cracked.
