Down two more lbs!!!

I'm down two more pounds, yay! I have been working out 6 days a week, with 4 of those running days, and 2 walking days. I've also been mainly eating dinner as my one meal of the day. I'm whittled the midnight snacking to about once or twice a week, and then I try to make it fruit. I'm very pleased with my progress.
The running is getting harder and harder, though. I'm sticking to it. I had to wimp out a little the other day because it was so humid I was having a hard time catching my breath. I ended up doing 4 1/2 of the 6 running intervals. Not too shabby. We fixed the humidity problem by moving the treadmill into the downstairs where it's cooler instead of where it was in the garage where the oil burner is and it's at least 5 degrees warmer than the outside.
It's disgustingly humid here in NY. Gross. I haven't even worked out yet and I feel like I need a shower.
On a completely different topic, my little one fell yesterday and busted his lip open. It bled sooo much, but it wan't deep and didn't need stitches. He's got a fat lower lip now and some bruising on his chin.
My kids are great, but I'm getting to that "is summer over yet?" point. My big boy is going into first grade. We got some workbooks to keep his skill sharp over the summer, and he actually enjoys doing them. I will be very busy once school starts, since I'm taking 4 classes myself, two on the weekends, one weekday night in which I need a sitter for about an hour, and one online. I'm taking yoga, human communication, nutrition and human performance, and freshman seminar. The freshman seminar is sooooo ridiculous. I'm a sophomore, and have been in college part time off and on for about four years. BUT....it's part of my fitness specialist degree program, so the director of the program is making me take it. At least it's online.
It's so important for me to lose this weight by the time I graduate in two years. I need to be in tiptop shape in order to either do personal training, or work in a gym. OR do personal training in a gym:) I think about it every day. Will I succeed? I'm so scared I'll fail. I have it in me and want to be positive, but you get those nagging feelings in the back of your head, you know? No one's going to hire a fat trainer.
