The times, they are a-changin'
I'd have to say things so far have not been bad at all. In fact, they've been working out quite well. :)
Keith and I celebrated on 2 year anniversary on Monday!! More details to come next time... :)
I just came back from shopping at Michael's for my cell project on biology. Now that I have an idea about what I'm doing and I actually have the materials to start things off, I'm a little more relaxed. Now, I'm just nervous that things won't execute properly. I just gotta have faith it'll all work out.
A couple of weeks ago, I was looking at some pictures of the wedding I was in, and I was so disappointed in myself. I am very unhappy with my current physical image. I didn't really know how big I was until I had looked at those photos. It was quite a blow. I had even written earlier this year that my new years resolution was to become a better person. In some aspect I could still use some work, but I told myself it still wasn't too late to still make a change for the better, so I decided it was time for a big change. I'd change a lot of my habits and start new ones. For example, I have completely given up sodas, which honestly, hasn't reallly been that hard. I've been hitting the gym once a week for a step class on wednesday with Tessa. I think it's much fun and I sweat a lot.
Then came another reason to lose weight...
My mother called me a couple weeks ago and proposed the idea of going on a trip somewhere over christmas break. After not a lot of deliberation, we decided on New York City, New York. When I went senior year I didn't get to see as much as I wanted to see and my mother just loves it. Now, let's be honest, I just don't think it's gonna look very good to be window shopping and being "posh", or at least trying to be, as a size 16. My goal is to lose 10-30 pounds by December 22.
My initial weight as of August 29th, was 202, and so for my first weight loss goal was 198. 4 pounds. I went to the doctor today and weighed in at..............196!! So far I've dropped 6 pounds. I'm pretty stoked! :) I've set my next goal at 192. That's 10 pounds from my original weight and give or take 4 pounds from my current weight.
Needless to say, I'm excited. (Words of encouragement/advise are recommended. )
God, it's 10 o'clock. I need to go to bed. Work in the morning and then much productive-ness afterwards.
