Yay?
In my desire to loose weight, I have finally broken out of the 190's!
This morning I weighed myself, and the scale told me I'm currently at 187 pounds. ^^
Granted, this was with my clothes on, but still - I'm making more progress! Finally! I was really getting irritated with not being able to break that mark.
I just wish it hadn't taken getting sick to do so. Remember how I just mentioned I was sick last week? Yeah, I basically didn't eat anything except the occasional saltine and a bit of Sprite in an effort to keep from vomiting. I also didn't move much, and slept a hecka lot.
Not a diet method I would recommend, by any means. ^^;
Now the challenge - keeping it off, and actually getting down to where someone of my height "should be" - which is about 40-50 more pounds. Hey, I loose 30 more, and I'll be able to wear the clothes I wore back in high school and early college!
For those wondering - No, I didn't get the Freshman 15; never moved out of the folk's house, since I went to a local college. What I'm trying to loose is the gradual accumulation that happened over about 10 years of time. Basically, from college to now. Well, last year, anyway. I was very surprised when I finally got on a scale again to see I was over 200. And a bit mortified. I have weird bulges that look so out of place it's silly. :D
One thing I did learn about being sick that badly, though - never again should I go for 4 days with neither showering nor brushing my hair. (What? I didn't have the energy to do either one! And I did try on Thursday. Ever try showering when you can barely stand? It's not fun, believe me!) For one thing, my hair is long enough to almost be sat on - about 6" or so and I'll probably be there, though my hair doesn't appear to be getting any longer at this stage. My hair Sunday, when I finally got around to trying to brush it (and it took well over an hour to do so, because I had to rest so often), my hair was tangled enough to be barely past my shoulders. Also, the blankets I used (which my mother brought out to the living room for me) had absorbed my BO in the bare 2 days I was wrapped up in them, and had to be washed. It took 2 showers for the smell to fully go away.
So, yeah. I'm glad I lost the weight, but I don't want to be that sick ever again.
Which basically means that if I ever go to Chipotlé again, I'll be eating vegetarian. ^^
