Further proof that I am vanishing
I really thought this time I would be able to not burn myself out by not writing every day. Here I am again self-destructing! Well not yet anyway. Just got a little shocker and had to share. Had to remind myself to get on the scale this morning and write it down.... which I did and not much has changed in a couple weeks. I decided to update my little tracker on the side and realized it was about damn time I took my measurements again (as much as I dread it and think it's pointless) since it's been, what, like 5 months?? At my last measurement I had lost 1 measley inch in the whole 4 months of tracking. So after 5 months more of NO tracking.... add another 10 inches of disappearing flesh!! WHAT?? IMPOSSIBLE!! Not all in one area of course but spread over hips, waist and bust. Six inches vaporized just from my waist though!! YEAH!!! So after bandaging my toe from dropping the tape measure on it in the heat of the moment, here I am at the keyboard again.

ROUND 2
SO I took a few months off... yeah so what?
Actually, I really felt like I was getting no where and it's hard to write about it and be honest when you aren't really trying. Somehow though, in the midst of all my wallowing in self pity and negativity... I met some great ladies and made some friends (shocking, I know). This was a HUGE boost to my outlook and life improved, I started trying again, yada yada yada...
One of my fabulous new friends has been overcoming her own hurdles with weight loss and is seeing fantastic results! She is much more dedicated than I am (yeah most people are) and pushes me to get my big ole booty moving. With tremendous focus, dedication and support (that last one is where I came in at) she has shed 50 pounds!! Yeah you better believe I am keeping her around!
With my slightly less enthusiastic ways I was somehow able to lose some weight myself. Since I started keeping this blog way back at the first of the year, I have lost up to, but not exceeding: 35 pounds. Impressive you say?? Well... that was a couple of weeks ago and ever since I got home from vacation I haven't been tracking or putting out the effort. AH! STOP IT! STOP IT NOW! I really don't want to undo all the awesomeness of wearing smaller sizes and having to get new clothes. NEED TO STAY ON TOP!
Yes... Life has been full of more ups and downs then usual, but that relly should be NO excuse. Time to start weighing myself every morning again and tracking what is working/not working. Time to clear all the clutter off of the abandoned treadmill and hop back on. Oh wait a minute... unpacking from vacation, I realized I somehow managed to get home with only one of my good walking shoes. How the hell did I do that you ask? Shucks, I don't know... typical though. So FIRST I need to go get a pair of walking shoes. I guess if I buy the same ones I really can say I have 2 left feet (haha, lame joke I know). So shoes... then treadmill!
Goals: Weigh in the morning, lots more water, smaller portions
