Thanks, Blogger, for changing again. Appreciate it. *fartnoise*

So the last few weeks have been insane. My friends are having babies, there's a new boy (yes you heard me), and I started a new job.

Exercising kinda went by the wayside, but I'm not giving up. I have to keep going. I got results, which is all I wanted, and now I need to keep going while my life is changing.

Just a quick update!

Things are going well....I think I'm actually starting to just DO healthy things and choose healthy options. I'm able to think "You are not going to lose weight doing this..." or "You are going to bed in like an hour. You can make it without something to eat."

I stopped running because I was getting wicked shin splints, but I think I'm gonna try and start up next week. I really like running on the treadmill and it's very convenient since it's at work. Zumba two times a week is definitely helping, and the elliptical machine Chris gave me is a fucking beast, and I'm mentally preparing myself for that thing.

Anyway, I'm down about 7 lbs....which doesn't sound like a lot, but I just keep telling myself I have till September. Not in a procrastination kind of way, more in a "take your time/easy does it" way. So I don't depress myself and quit.

It took more than a day to put on, it's going to take more than a day to take it off.

So far, 3lbs down.

I know, I know, I said I wasn't going to weigh myself.

And I'm not. Starting now.

Hey lookie there!

First post of the year. Not at all embarrassing.

Starting over again....this time I'm focusing on a few more things.

Today a woman at work told me "I was just thinking about something I could do to brighten up your day, so here!" and handed me a box of Cosmic Brownies. Which made me think....I have built up quite the reputation at work. "Lindsay, she'll eat anything, food makes her happy."

So. No more self-deprecating jokes anymore. If it's giving people this idea about me, it's probably in my own head somewhere too.

Also, I'm trying VERY hard not to focus on any change that this exercise/daily routine is having on me.

I gave myself till September to lose 50 lbs, and I notice I always quit right around 10-15. So I think it's pointless for me to really check until a few months from now. Or maybe when someone I know says something, I'll step on the scale.

I dunno. That's the plan for now. Just keep going. Just keep going.
