I've been avoiding this site for about 8 months now....weight loss was going reasonably well, and I was feeling better about myself. The compliments were rolling in, and then I hit a major wall and fell on my face. Now I've regained a significant portion of the loss, but I feel ready to start again, and I'm glad to be back here
I've moved around a bit - left the Bay Area in California and came to Washington, DC. I've had a blast exploring the area (and the food), and I've got about 3 more months here before I move on. I'm staying in a kind of women's dorm, with breakfast and dinner included...and NO kitchen available. If it can't be prepared in a microwave, it's not on my menu
I've gotten back in to exercising at least 3-4 days a week, in addition to doing lots of walking, and I've managed to find a healthy balance given my
VERY limited options (especially because money is also an issue). Hopefully, the weight will start coming off again, but I'm trying to stay off the scale for a bit. I tend to become a scale addict and focus way too much on the numbers instead of how I'm feeling.
In March, I'm going to be heading out to Western Australia (and possibly trying to move there in the future depending on how I like it). I'm super excited but also apprehensive about meeting lots of new people.
Happy to be back
Back after a long absence...
