Enrollment Complete!

Today's Weigh In - 234.2 pounds


Today marked my first day of starting my new routine. In following it, i managed to get several things done today that i've been putting off for a long time. 


First off, i did a heap of exercise today, and i feel so much better (it's been about a week since i've actually done anything remotely considered exercise). I started off my exercise regime by completing the 45 minute Cardio Salsa workout video at about midday, followed by a ten minute bike ride that i just finished before sitting down to write here.


I also got my enrollment with Open Universities Australia done and dusted. I managed to find my Tax File Number and i applied for FEE-HELP so i can do my writing courses without having to worry about amassing the funds to pay for the courses in question. Big relief. I'm actually looking forward to September now - i can't wait to get these classes started with! xD


In regards to gaming, i wiped my PS3 and started anew with a new profile and a new game in GTAIV.


I divided today's gaming period into two sessions - the first one from 1pm until 3pm and the second one from 7pm until 9pm.


In the first gaming session for today, i completed seven missions (6 of Roman's missions and Michelle's single mission). The missions i completed were (in the order of completion):


The Cousins Bellic
It's Your Call
Three's A Crowd
First Date
Bleed Out
Easy Fare
Jamaican Heat


I also completed 5 of Roman's Taxi Fare missions, and collected two trophies during the session:


Off the Boat - completed the first mission.
Warm Coffee - get invited into your girlfriend's house.


I also bumped into two Random Pedestrian missions during this session. They were:


Brian (1st Encounter)
Brian (2nd Encounter)


For the second session, i completed an additional seven missions (all 4 of Vlad's missions, 1 of Little Jacob's missions, 1 of Roman's missions and 1 of Faustin's missions). I completed them in the following order:


Bull in a China Shop
Hung Out to Dry
Clean Getaway
Ivan The Not So Terrible
Concrete Jungle
Uncle Vlad
Crime and Punishment


I also finished off the last 5 of Roman's Taxi Fare missions, and collected an additional two trophies. The trophies collected in this session were:


Driving Mr. Bellic - unlocked the special ability of Roman's taxi.
Fed the Fish - completed the mission "Uncle Vlad".


On the topic of games, i also played some more Mafia Wars today (2nd day playing) and i managed to complete the "Street Thug" tier, along with full mastery of all jobs. Additionally, i vaulted my Diamond Flush collection, resulting in a nice +1 energy boost and 7 Tripwires. I also got the Pistol Bayonet ( a 4% damage bonus when in fights). Very nice. xD


Overall, today was a very productive day on all fronts, and i hope to lose some weight overnight. Though i'm trying to be realistic about my weight loss, i secretly hope that i can manage to slip below 230 pounds by next Sunday. Here's to a hopefully productive and fat-burning week! xD
