Hey dudes. I'm back on track with my lj. I've still been weighing in and working out, just haven't been logging in for my weekly weigh-in mainly because my wonderful husband surprised me with a Wii-Fit when I got back from Belize (on June 9). I love this thing...I'm obsessed! I haven't been taking my measurements either since I've been feeling so good lately (endurance, I feel strong, etc.) but I will definitely take them on August 1 so I can stay with the first of the month routine.

This week I gained, I've still been eating healthy and working out so I'm trying not to fret about the 1.2lbs. I gained this week. It's just a number after all and the progress I've made thus far certainly "outweighs" (hardy-har-har) a stupid number on the scale (especially a number that could easily be water-weight-gain). Anyway, with that being said, in a week I will be going out of the country for research for my dissertation. I'll be spending 3 weeks in steamy Belize, working outside on a daily basis in the middle of nowhere--- I will no doubt lose MORE weight while I'm there....I'll still be able to weigh-in next week (I'M GOING TO LOSE DAMNIT!) but after that, I won't be able to weigh-in for three weeks.

I'm pretty satisfied with my weight-loss this week considering I had no time to work out! This week- continue sticking to diet and working out once per day.

I am back yet again, and I'm not hanging my head in shame...because, frankly, what good does that do? Jonathan and I are wanting to start trying to conceive within the next few months (August 17, 2008 is the day we will begin ACTIVELY trying!) and after meeting with my new OB/GYN, I've decided to kick my weight loss into gear. SO...I will be weighing in weekly as I used to...WISH ME LUCK!

Ok folks. I'm back. I've gained 1.6lbs. in the 2 months that I've neglected to weigh-in on a weekly basis (still 15.6lbs below start). I just finished mid-terms and I promised myself that after this stress that I would go back to having a regular weigh-in schedule. I find it strange that I feel better while I'm dieting and weighing-in on a regular basis, and yet I always kind of stop doing it for some reason (some excuse bla bla bla). You would think that you would continue to do what you feel good doing! Anyway, I will be weighing in again next Friday, so wish me luck! Here is to the wonderful week ahead!
