It’s been a while since i’ve wrote last. I’m dead tired, running on no sleep… so i’m going to make this one short. Currently: 153 pounds. My short term goal: 150 pounds for back to school- that’s only 2.5 weeks away! i think i can do it. It seems my body is a little set on this weight… that, or i can’t control my chocolate cravings and i have plateaued. I’ve been getting a lot of feedback over the past month about how great i look. i admit– i love the attention! But, i’m a little down at how i have not really shrunk in size. I still fit into the same clothes. they are a little big on me, and some clothes are just too big. but if i go shopping, i’m still shopping for the same size.

it’s time to get super excited about another round of losing weight. 3 pounds in 2.5 weeks. I CAN DO IT. I know i can. School is stressful right now. i’m on survival mode and i don’t have energy to be social with people… which kind of sucks and makes this whole losing weight business less worthwhile. But, i will not get discouraged. i know that there has to be a deficiency in energy in order to lose weight… and once i’m there, i can start to be more balanced and overcompensate less. For physical activity, i have been riding my bike to school and work. I really like being out on the road in the morning… but being sweaty and gross is a drawback. I’ve been doing weights at the gym when i can and yoga about once a week. I’m just fitting things in when i can and not worrying too much. My main priority is balancing my mood and dealing with stress- and i do this with exercise… so… i guess burning calories is an added benefit. OK- will write more later. Sleep now.
