Long Time Coming

Can’t believe I let my blog stagnate.  Or can I?  I mean, I do it all the time :D  At any rate, this is my first post since November 7th.  I should be whipped.  Yes, whipped.  With cream.  Whipped cream.

Just a short update since class is about to start and I’m bored, sitting here waiting, listening to Lady GaGa and drinking hot chocolate.  I’m in a good place right now.  I started going to the gym Sunday and have went 3 times this week.  I have to miss today but I’m going to make up for it by doing some yoga.

In October I was told I weighted 228 lbs, but I hadn’t done any exercise yet, just changed my eating habits, and by Thanksgiving I’d lost 10 pounds.  Since I started going to the gym I’ve lost 3 pounds. I really only walk around the track for over an hour, but it is the fast-paced walking that actually does something, not the normal gate I see others going at.  Based on what I was told in October I need to loose 10% of my body weight, and I’m already over half-way there.  I would really like to loose down to about 160-70 (which I actually feel is healthy for my height), but I’m not sure what is a healthy and practical expectation for that.  If I could loose 10 pounds a month, I’d be down to that in no time.  My clothes are already getting loose on me and so on.  My roommate said my pants look too large.  I will be going to the gym every day I can get there and hope that I can make my dream a reality.  Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me, yeah?  I really want to do this thing right.

I don’t know if it is because I’m exercising, my birth control pills, or whatever, but I can’t eat lately.  It’s horrible.  I feel like I’m full even though I’ve hardly eaten anything and I can’t figure out why.  Today, the most I’ve ate is a quarter of a Chik-fil-la grilled chicken sandwich.  Maybe not even that much.  Aside from the hot chocolate, I doubt I’ll be eating anything else today.  I know this isn’t healthy, but I can’t make myself eat.  I’m not even getting enough food or sustenance to support my workouts!  If we burn about 2k calories a day normally, and I’m not getting 2k, or anywhere near it, then how am I making it?  I really feel like I should have been eating more.  I need to figure this stuff out.

Other than that, I’m happy with the weight loss and want to keep it up.  Wish me luck!!

I am so freaking aggravated!

As usual, I am aggravated.  Since I moved into this place, it has been the one constant (aside from one roommate failing to pay her share and the other one yo-yoing between boys, not sure which one she “really” likes).  There are some many things about this situation that are driving me bananas, that I barely know where to begin!  So, I’ll just jump right into it.

Not a good week… or month, rather.

So, first I’ll apologize (like any more than 2 people actually read this, aside from those courteous spambots) for not updating since the end of September. I’ve had a lot go on this month, and it isn’t even over yet.
