Aw Man.

So, I didn't realize how much weight I gained when I went home. In actuality, it's not that much, only about 5-8 pounds, but considering how little progress I've made and how proud I was of losing those 5-8 pounds, I'm disappointed and pissed.

I took my measurements today, and I've gained back another inch and a half in each my waist and hips, and half an inch in my neck. I might have been holding the tape measure wrong in either measurement, the previous one or today's, but either way, those numbers suck ass.

But I am bound and determined to stop fucking around and to do something with my life. It's a new semester, a new presidency, and god damn it, it's going to be a new me.

HUZZAH

Ask, and you shall receive Kris!

when are you going to write again biatch?

That would be right now. :P

So. I hit a huge milestone today.

I weighed myself before my shower, and I am now at 149 pounds.

This is the first time I've been below 150 in I can't even TELL YOU how long.

So clearly I need to celebrate.

Oh yeah. Time to raise the roof, put on the jams, and Snoopy Dance this mother out.

*Shimmy*

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?

*Facepalm*

BAD AMANDA. *Smacks hand*

My last entry was all like, "Oh, I'm making a change, oh, I promise I'll update."

I should have known. I sometimes have the worst attention span... I'm a like child who sees tinfoil.

"Ooh, shiny!" And off I toddle, to go spaz around somewhere else.

Anywho. I digress.

My eating habits have once again become something horrific, though I did eat rather well while I was in Madison at G-ma's hospital bedside. So far today I have had one bowl of Campbell's Chunky Chicken Noodle soup, six Double Stuf Oreos, two sips of white cran-strawberry juice, a squeezy bottle of skim milk, and two oatmeal cream pies.

Clearly, I need to never eat again. Or at least cut out all that horrific junk food.

The yoga has been going well, I love it so much. And the crazy thing is, even with the shitty food habits and the infrequent exercise, I'm down to about 152 right now. Which is the lowest I've been in ages.

And to think... if I just shaped up my habits, I could probably start losing that weight in earnest.

As is, we had the first snowfall today, and all I could think of was wanting to walk in it. Unfortunately I have to work all day today, but if it's not incredibly frigid I might go for a walk after my second shift. As long as the temperature stays in normal range, I might be persuaded to not be a loser who does nothing.

So. Let's see how long it takes me to post next time. :P

My Blog? Update? Oh Shiz.

I really need someone to stand by me with a cattle prod, and then if I start to forget about this place, they can zap me.

"UPDATE YOUR BLOG HO"

Clearly, I have been lax in my updating. My bad yo.

I don't actually think anyone reads this, but hell, it's the PRINCIPLE of the matter. Word.

So. Had pop to stay awake and help my write my paper. = Bad

Did twenty crunches after my shower before work today. = Good

Hopefully I can learn from my past mistakes and actually make some progress here. I swear (and this time I'm going to *really* try), I'm going to be better.

Dude, I have to be.

I caught my body packing a bag the other day, and we're not taking a trip. So. You know. Gotta make amends.

-1 6 pc. McNuggets
-1 lg. Coke

Dinner @ 8 pm
-Bowl of Frosted Flakes with skim milk

Overview: Not the best choices... should have probably not eaten so much at McD's, but it was the farewell meal with P and it was a Packers game, so I'll let it slide. Packers rule, LIONS SUCK! :D

Overview: Doing a hell of a lot better today. After eating lunch, I'm going to walk back to campus instead of driving, so that will be some good exercise right there.

*Pat on back* Good job self.

I Haf Nanner Bread

My first baking attempt in this apartment was a huge success! There is nanner bread, and it is good.

I just had the very first slice, topped with butter, and it was superb. Now, I'm off to make a quick lunch, get ready for work, and then go be productive.

Today is looking like it will be a gold star day.
