Hello Feathers,
Long time no see! I've been doing alright, staying in the high 130s - low 140s for a long, long, long, WAY TOO LONG time. I wanna move towards the 120s already, gahhh!!!
The challenge that I was doing really helped me to stay on track though I failed miserably towards the end, lol! Basically, everybody set up a few goals for themselves and all we had to do was stick to them for 20 days. My goals were to eat about 1500 calories daily, do 30 min of cardio daily and lift weights 7 out of those 20 days. Well, a few days ago I binged on chocolate, cookies and salty foods (2 social events, I just couldn't say no..). My weight was up by 1.4 lbs the next morning, I think. And I was OUT!
I've been feeling really constipated lately. I know I'm eating enough fiber and I am also drinking enough. So I'm thinking it's probably because I started to work out and lift weights more often. I've also been running again so that could be it, too? Anyways, me no likey.
A few co-workers of mine, even my BOSS which was definitely a "wtf?!"-moment, told me that I had gotten so skinny and that I had lost so much weight. Score! I was very happy about that because I did blow up like a house right before I moved to New York 2 years ago. So the last time they saw me I must have been about 22 pounds heavier than I am now.
DH and I are trying to get settled in but we're also starting to look for our own place. My boss and I were talking about a raise today - so happy about that!

olehcat - Wow, he's still there? I totally understand why it's been so hard for you lately and I really don't know what else to say because I'd probably be in the same boat. Maybe try to plan out your meals?
Cattails - Sounds like you're in a good place right now! As long as the clothes fit nicely the numbers don't really mean that much anymore. I agree with Olehcat - try some HIIT running, I feel like it has improved my speed alot!
Moving Forward- Welcome!
Wow, size 4, congrats! I hope to be there soon as well
What do you do exercise-wise?
