To use my friend Jeremiah‘s words, hello my pretties.
I know, it’s been so long! I feel bad, I really do. After all, for the 5 of you who read my blog, it’s been an excruciating wait. 
So what happened? Well…I sorta took a break. From everything except my ridiculously packed social life. I’ve been out gallivanting since I got home from LA, enjoying the snowy weather, running about doing Christmas shopping and other fun stuff. But enough procrastination – an update is overdue!
So how much did I lose the second month at camp? Ladies and gents, I lost an additional 14 lbs! Woot! I seem to be able to lose exactly 14 lbs a month – which is just fine with me. So in total, I’ve lost 31 lbs since I started this quest back in September.
When my sis picked me up at the airport, my pants were literally falling off while I walked through the airport. Problem! Shopping was…well, more fun than usual! I’m in REGULAR SIZES for tops. Said another way? I’m no longer in plus sizes. I can’t even remember the last time I shopped in regular stores. This is a major victory for a fashion-conscious girl like me. I am overwhelmed with choices. And that’s A-OK with me! Another few pounds and I’ll be in regular bottoms too (this is taking a bit longer…you know, with an *ss that don’t quit, there are special considerations).
So I got home the week before Thanksgiving, just in time for my sister’s 30th birthday party (a 50s party!) The party was super fun and I got to see a bunch of people who hadn’t seen me in a while. Overwhelmingly they all said the same thing – Boy, you look happy!
Interesting.
Sure people commented on my weight, but generally the happiness comment is what I get more than anything else. And I think it’s spot on. I feel GREAT. I’m more energetic. I love my new clothes. I feel like I look good. I am en fuego with the boys, which I shall not talk about here. Generally, I just feel awesome. And apparently it shows.
Since I got home I will admit to taking a little break with the diet and exercise. Not complete meltdown, but certainly struggling a bit with the program. I think that has a little to do with my current lack of a schedule (cough…job..cough). So my New Year’s task at hand is to get my little legs a’ movin’ again. I’ve spoken to one of my camp friends and I think we’re going to do a little food journal exchange.
Future plans? I’m thinking about going back to camp for another few weeks at some point this year. Gotta get a job. And gotta have some fun while I don’t have one! So you know, give me a yell if you’re in town. Let’s hang!
Future plans for this blog? Well I’m going to keep at it – with more regularity. Lots of people seem to struggle with the same things I do, so why not continue to share my little quest. God knows I need the motivation you peeps provide in the comments and on FB and Twitter. So feel free to kick my *ss a little.
