Things Happen


So...things/stuff have been happening
You know, as it usually does when life is being lived.

I'm not leaving for Oregon as early in the month as I thought.
Which is fine. I was a little bummed that I was going to miss Thanksgiving with my
family. But, as it turns out, my bff can't leave till the end of November anyway.
That leaves me a little longer to save money, have one last holiday with my family
and a little time to start/finish my Christmas shopping.

My job coach has worked maybe 3 days since she started the beginning of the month.
She hasn't been back since. I think we scared her off. Maybe.

I've had the munchies for the past forever. I don't know if it's because of stress or
some crazy hormones. But I don't like it. I haven't gained any weight, but having
the constant urge to snack on licorice and popcorn and other things isn't such a great
way to spend my time. On the other hand, to distract myself, I've been cleaning, reading and
generally getting things done instead of checking out what's in my pantry.

Anyhow, I'm not feeling very motivated to sit here and type for much longer...maybe I'll
finish my knitting project today.

You didn't scare me off. I really wasn't scared off at all. But I did come back, and that's the important part.

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Sleepiness becomes me

*sigh* I miss the ocean. Not really the Atlantic Ocean, although I have to say that the East Coast has some beautiful beaches. But the Pacific Ocean will always be home to me. I miss it. I miss the hot sand, the coconut scented sunscreen and tanning oil, the salty sea air, the random volleyball games, the hot surfer boys. I miss it all. Its my favorite place where you can watch the sunset while looking out over the water. Its amazing! Sure, it gets hot, but really? When you're there at the beach looking at the water, taking it all in, it doesn't really matter how hot it is. I've always loved the water. It has a calming effect over me like lavender oil in a steamy bath. I wish I could just be a beach bum for the rest of my life. I'd take photos and sell them to support my needs. Kind of like what Thoreau did at Walden Pond. I really only need the simple things in life and the beach and ocean. I could get along without my phone and definitely without my alarm clock. Just

Slowly but surely

The weight loss has slowed just a little. I've only lost roughly 3 pounds this week. But I am determined to lose at least 80 pounds by my birthday. It's a tall order that's for sure. I have about 34 days to do it. I have to lose 2.4 pounds a day to surpass my goal by a little over than a pound. I suppose I'll have to be more diligent on my diet and exercising. I won't be disappointed if I come close though. The whole point of me going on any sort of exercise/diet plan is to get healthy and to get ready for Hawaii. I refuse to fly on a plane at my current weight. Mostly because I don't want to be embarrassed if I have to get a seat belt extender. I don't want to. I refuse to be one of those people that have to get special accommodations because of my weight just to fly. I think that I've come a long way from how I ate and exercised before. I pretty much look forward to my walks every day and I don't crave soda anymore. I actually had about 4 ounces of
