On The Road Again...

And less than a month later the kid comes back again!

So I remembered a bit more swiftly this time. Let's call it growth.

Except it's not growth at my waistline. :D

That's right bitches, who has two thumbs and has lost weight?

This chick right here.

I'm still around 150 pounds, give or take a pound or two, but I've lost an inch and a half from both my waist and hips.

While I was home for Thanksgiving, I had no less than four people tell me that I look fantastic, and that I look like I've lost a lot more weight than I have. I think if anything I'm gaining muscle and losing fat, so that's fabulous.

And I actually did some exercising today. So far I did 10 push-ups (full out, not girly style or anything) and 10 crunches. I would have done more of each, but I was in my towel and I didn't want to accidentally flash anyone.

As is, even though I feel better about how I look in clothes and such, my skin is freaking out. But not through breakouts or anything normal. Oh no. This is all the work of fucking Ralph the Rash. Back again to piss me off. I've got one defined cluster on my upper left arm, and one smattering of bumps all over my upper right arm. I used to have a cluster on my right elbow, but it looks like that went away. Mom thinks it's due to nerves and stress, and may be auto-immune related, but no matter where it comes from it is PISSING ME OFF.

I bought some bags of romaine and tomatoes yesterday, and I am bound and determined to eat more salad and such. I also got some whole wheat rolls for tiny sammiches, perfect for that leftover turkey I brought back with me.

It seems that while I am not necessarily eating healthier (yet), I am definitely eating less. Sometimes it's not really a conscious decision, but I know that I am definitely waiting longer between meals and only eating when I feel I must do so.

Apparently every little bit helps.

So... whatcha'll doing?
