I'm in studying procrastination mode. I left work at noon today to study all afternoon as my final exam is tomorrow morning. I've managed to have lunch, read 1 chapter, take a nap, have my snack, make some tea, check my email (work and home), open the 2nd chapter. It's not looking good so far. It could be a late night but I'm also feeling more run down today like my cold is back so I should probably just make sure I get to the exam. Oh and tomorrow morning is calling for a blizzard so I'll have to get up extra early to ensure I get to the college on time!

It's been 10 years since I even tried to dress in my own way, and not in just what fit. I was never into fashion, but I always dressed in a way that showed my style, so this is an interesting and fun (and expensive) journey.

Cross-post from daily for all my 100%ers who don't go to the daily:

LOL
My crazy wii fit told me last nite I weighed 185.2 and this morning it said 178.4. I was pretty sure I hadn't entered onderland and COMPLETELY SKIPPED the 190s! (and then lost 6.8 lbs overnite!). Tonite I'm moving it to another room with a hard floor, instead of carpet.

So, my (MUCH MORE REALISTIC) WI today: - 4.2, which is pretty in-line with my typical weight losses over a 2+week period (this was 17 days). Best yet...a whopping 5". Inches have been slower to come off from measured areas for me so this feels like a whoosh! :dancer:

NSV: I have NEVER EVER in my life returned from vacation SMALLER than I left! Vacation was always a sure weight GAIN!

Congrats to all the losers!!!! WTG KITKAT!!! Exactor you look great!

I have been having a very rough week. I am having some health issues and seeing a doctor. He wants me off of phase 1 and is wanting me on phase 3 so that I can be eating fruits and dairy. I am exercising like a crazy girl right now and haven't gained so I am thankful for that. I am so ready for the weekend!!!

I know exactly what you mean about trying to find a style! I used to just go to the women's plus size section of the store and buy clothes that fit and didn't make me look larger than (I thought) I actually was. Now that I'm in regular women's sizes, there's so many choices! I still find myself leaning towards that clothes that I think will flatter a larger body and I am overwhelmed when going shopping! I'm really trying to decide what looks I like on myself. It's been fun and a little scary!

Phase 1 caused my TOM to be crazy but when I went back on after the holidays I started TOM again and was in incredible pain all weekend (not just crampy pain, way more severe) and I am now very anemic. I have faith we will get it figured out. I am running again and it is helping. I really think exercise is the best medicine.
