believe it or not, i've lost a total of 8 pounds over the past 2 1/2 weeks. which means i've lost all the weight i put on over the fall, and i'm back to a grand total of 30 pounds gone. i'm so happy.
now comes the fun part, where i go above 30. i have about 100 pounds to lose still, but i'm going to take it one day at a time. it wasn't too hard to get to 30, so i can take it on. it's going to feel so good to get this weight off, and hopefully this time i can keep it off. moderation is the key. if i want something bad, i'll have it. but 90% of the time i'll be good. that works for me. not total deprivation, because that's just not realistic.
plus, i have the motivation of having an old friend come to visit in june. i haven't seen her since 2001, and i've put on quite a lot of weight since then, so i'm a little nervous. i always get this way when seeing old friends. i feel embarrassed, and self-conscious. i don't even like having pictures of me tagged on facebook, because then everyone can see how fat i've gotten. so this visit will be a great motivation to stick to the plan and lose the damn weight.
just gotta keep thinking about idina and tessa and taylor. what would taylor schilling do?

back to reality
i'm back, kids. back with a renewed quest for health and less-fat-than-i-am-now-ness.
before the fall, i had lost 30 pounds. and i was extremely proud of it. i was able to get into a size 20, which is something i haven't seen in many, many years. and i felt great. but then vacation happened, and i fell off the wagon. after four months of eating whatever i wanted, i gained back 8 of those pounds.
but after two weeks back on the diet, i've lost 6 of those 8 pounds. not too bad. i was hoping for a better number, but i'll take it. i'm exercising every day, i'm eating a ton of fresh, healthy food. and i feel great.
still inspired by one ms. taylor schilling (a.k.a. skinny little bitch), and miss tessa virtue. but i've also rekindled my love -- uh, i mean admiration -- for idina menzel. she's not super skinny anymore, but i like that about her. she's always been a solid figure, and that's cool. but i will admit that her bikram yoga body was smokin'.
damn. look at those freaking abs. you won't see me doing bikram, though. i'll just have to settle for her post-pregnancy tummy. and i can live with that.
