One girl wolf pack....
Good golly it has been a long, LONG time since I updated here I think! Summer just takes over sometimes.
I've had an awful lot going on that has resulted in me gaining what i think is an impressively low ten pounds.
- Mid July- My grandfather passed away at age 92. He was a wonderful man, the patriarch of our family, and he will be greatly missed. We knew he was getting on in years and that his time left with us was uncertain, but he didn't have any specific medical problems for a long time, its just been the past few months that he'd really gotten sick. And even then... you just never think that that day is going to come. So that was a big stressor.
- My parents flew back to Kansas that week for his funeral and I was alone in the house, which is never very fun especially when you are grieving.
- That same week I attended, as I always do, the San Diego Comic-Con, the great pop culture convention. I live in San Diego, so I was still at home, but at least I had somewhere to be every day.
- Also that week- minor drama with a male friend. Rejection sucks.
So with all that I kind of fell off the wagon. Then I knew I had my big Vegas trip coming up, which was awesome, but not very weight loss friendly i admit. So, over the course of just under a month, I gained ten pounds. Now school is starting up, summer is winding down, and I am more focused. Summer is such a chaotic time when y ou aren't in school, y'know? No daily schedule, special fun stuff happening... It was tough, but I am back!!
ALSO, I knocked another weight loss goal off my list! I was NOT the fat bridesmaid!! I think we were all relatively the same size, I might have been sliiiightly larger, but also, a head taller so I think I was just the tall blond bridesmaid. Woo hoo!! And the groomsman I walked with was pretty handsome and charming.
Now... just to get back in the saddle... the first few days back on shakes are always tough and lethargic-ish. But we battle on.
