That 20lbs I shed last summer, miraculously came back and added some. MY JOY IS SO LARGE YOU CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE.

And now half my dress clothes for student teaching no longer fit! MY JOY, YOU GUYS. MY JOY.

So now that everyone is caught up. ( This is what I plan to do about it )

real life: so damn tired omfg, real life: im so unprepared for rl, real life: did someone say coffee?, real life: dreams, real life: wtf is that?, real life: weight loss, !hear my brain cells die, real life: college, real life: who wants me to be an adult, !omg, real life: etown, !flail, real life: shit just went down omg, real life: hail yes!

A book/CD/DVD
A new item of clothing
Dinner/evening out
Manicure/pedicure/massage (you can get these on the cheap if you go to an aesthetics school - usually they are supervised, and they aren't allowed to work on 'live' customers until they've mastered it on mannequins)
Something silly

To get back to a healthy weight, my mum and I visited a nutritionist together several times - it's amazing how much we learned.

I am in the exact same problem zone atm, having added 15 pounds on since October 9_9 I have a few super healthy and delicious recipes I can send you (including a low cal Alfredo sauce that is to diiiiie for) if you're interested, as well as recommendations for really great exercise DVDs and games. You can do it!!! :)

I use a Turkish bath as my motivational prize, because I love being warm & feeling pampered, so how about a sauna, or a massage?
