I want to be the “Hot Girl”…

Trying to get back on track…again…sigh…

It’s been a while since I’ve written, so I figured I’d drop in to write and let my two readers know what’s going on.

It’s been kind of a rough summer, and I haven’t really been “weight loss motivated”. I think I’ve been going through the motions at about a 75% level. I went on a cruise last week, and I think that (combined with beginning to see a therapist) has given me a new level of motivation to get back on the train. I am up a few pounds post cruise (this morning the scale said 234), but I’m feeling pretty good about myself so I’m not too bummed out about it. I just had breakfast, a V8 and some nonfat yogurt with sugar free jello mixed in. I’m phase I-ing it for two weeks to make sure all the sugar is out my system. I’m about to head to the gym, and do a 60 minute workout.

Ahhhh, this summer. It’s been full of fun, but also full of trying times. As written about previously, Brandon and I broke up June 27th. I took it kind of hard the first month, but it is getting easier. My family and I have been at odds with each other because I told my brother he had to move out by September 1. He moved out last Friday…which has made me happy. They (my parents) are mad at me, because they don’t seem to understand why I won’t let a 25 year old man live with me rent free. They’ve called me selfish…said I couldn’t have gotten where I was without the help of others, etc. I think that seven months of free rent is sufficient enough help, and not the kind of help that my brother needs, so he’s gotta go. I’m not happy that they’re mad at me, but I’ve made peace with my decision.

Today, after I’m finished at the gym, it’s a day of “home improvement” projects. I’m going to give the house a thorough cleaning, put up a deadbolt, maybe paint some walls, clean the cars, maybe play a little nintendo once the chores are done. I’m actually looking forward to spending a little alone time. I also need to plan my menus for the week.

So it’s phase I for two weeks…I’m trying to get back on the wagon! Wish me luck.
