Weight loss

“In other news”… I lost 3.5 lbs. last week, for a total of 5.8.
Go me!
So, my Toast Masters speech that I’m giving in a few weeks is “Speech #1: The Icebreaker.” It’s a getting-to-know-you speech. I wanted to deliver a variant on this post, but have discarded that because, frankly, it’s too well-scripted and doesn’t give me an opportunity to improvise. I’ll save it for a later speech, possibly #10: the Inspirational Speech.
The speeches are supposed to loosely tie into the theme of the meeting, but I really dislike the theme that week (”Spring Cleaning”), so I’ve decided instead to do my own thing.
I’m going to talk about being an extrovert. It’s one of the biggest defining characteristics about me, and it’s a good one to talk about at Toast Masters, where so many people are there because they want help overcoming shyness.
I would LOVE a few friendly comments about how me being an extrovert has affected you, my friends. Doesn’t have to be all positive– I know that I’ve annoyed the hell out of some of my introvert friends with my over-socialization, and I want to work that into my speech notes as well.
