Pouring Rain

Dear Sunshine,

I was so happy to find you peeking through the clouds this morning. So happy, in fact, that I was excited to start my day of errands. Two hours later, though, you've gone away and your evil cousin has settled in. That's right. It is pouring rain right now. POURING. Why? Why did you have to go away? Don't you know I wanted to do something fun today? Didn't you know that your patchy sunshine-y goodness would have made the day that much more enjoyable rather than sheets of rain?

Ugh...I am so done with the rain. I'm done with the bottom of my pants being soaked through. I'm done having to wear socks and shoes. Please tell spring to hurry the heck up and tell summer that she needs to be here by the time May rolls around, okay? I need my sunshine back. I need you back in my life. You make everything feel better. You make my tennis calluses worth having them in the first place.

So, please. Just come back. I love having you around. I think you should move in. okay?

Love you forever,
Joyce

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
