Hello lovelies!
"I'm not losing weight for those that have made fun of me. I'm not losing weight for others at all, in fact. I'm losing weight for me. Because I am concerned about me. It may sound narcissistic, but that's the way it has to be."--- I said this last January, and it still rings true. I'm doing this for myself, because when I was losing weight, I felt so good about myself and the decisions I was making. I also felt healthier.
"1. I will lose 80 pounds by May 25, 2013. [That's just under five pounds per month.]
2. I will learn to cook good, healthy, and cheap food for one person.
3. I will find a "healthy" ice cream. [This one's my favorite goal. :)]"
These were the three original goals that I started with last January. Quite frankly I don't think I even tried on the second goal. The third goal was a good one, but I stopped trying. I have reverted back to the good ol' Ben and Jerry's pint. And that's not even remotely healthy. At all... Like, "I am getting diabetes while I eat this" unhealthy.
As far as the first goal, I did make an attempt, and in fact I did do a pretty good job in January to April, but then I'm not entirely sure what happened. I just stopped blogging and stopped losing weight.
Thankfully, over the summer and last semester, I did not gain any of the weight I took off last semester, back. And that is truly an accomplishment.
So where do I go from here?
I don't know. Back to small goals, I think.
So. Next week, I hope to accomplish these:
1. Drink two water bottles each day. I have this one water bottle that is 32 ounces, so it's super easy to drink just two of those.
2. Work out at least twice this week.
3. Blog next week. Or in the middle of the week. Or whenever I feel like it.
I think that's enough goals for this week. haha I don't want to overwhelm myself.
Maybe a fourth one would be to send it to a few more people. I think I'm going to do that anyway.
Go team, go.
I'm sorry this was such a ridiculously long post. Hopefully, I will continue to make time for blogging. Because I've quite enjoyed it.
Have a lovely, snowy evening!
Let's not talk about how long it's been since I've blogged, and let's greet each other as if no time has passed.
Hi! How are things?! I haven't seen you in a while, but that's okay. Oh? You missed me? I missed blogging. I loved doing it, and it makes me a bit sad that I haven't been consistent with it. Yes, I've been busy. Yeah! I'm almost done with school, so nice of you to ask!

Hopefully that wasn't awkward for any of you. I just needed to get back in to writing to an "audience."
This is going to be a longer post. Bear with me.
Since May, which is the last time I blogged half-way consistently, I've pretty much flat-lined on the whole "weight journey" thing. So I'm going to try and start out again. I don't know how it will go, but I'm going to make a valiant effort, because truly, I do miss blogging and having some sort of accountability.
Today it was snowy and I ate a box of Whoppers. In retrospect, I think I could have chosen a lot more healthy things to do, but it was just one of those days. haha
I'm going to re-visit some of the things that I brought up in past posts, because I think it'll be a good reminder for you and me.
