This might be my last whatcha eating post for a while since college starts tomorrow.  Eek!  I suspect that my OH involvement will be one of the casualties.  (Which I'm sure will make some of you cheer!)  :D  

For my last day of freedom, I'm pla

The first week of my new life!  My new fitness schedule starts on Wednesday with the Fall semester and I will also be a full time college student for the first time in 18 years!  Eek!  Not entirely sure what this will mean for my exercise life and time

I finally got around to posting pictures on my blog today.  The oldest picture is from August 2014 when I weighed 227 and the current picture is from today when I weigh 180.  (Ugh, typing that makes me sad that I've only lost 47 pounds in the last 12 m

Today has been an AWESOME day.  P and I went to the Ren Faire to celebrate our 18th anniversary.  I'd been feeling surprisingly depressed about not having garb to wear since my old garb is way too big and I'm not at the point where I want to stop losin

I've been waiting for this weekend since last weekend.  I'm glad it's finally here.  My plan for today is to catch up on the DVR, since I'm exciting that way.

Two weeks in a row and I really feel like I'm finally back on track.  Last week was not just a fluke!

High weight - 319
Last week - 180.2
This week - 178
Next goal - 174 "just" overweight

How about you?

It's Monday and this is the last chemo week I'll be able to go to PA for.  I'm sad that I'll miss the last two chemo weeks with my dad, but I'm also glad I'll finally be able to get something like a normal schedule back in my life.

This morning I had to order new sports bras! Mine have started to get... dimply.  If you know what I mean. Loss of boob mass.  I was happy that Brooks/Moving Comfort is having a sale!  So I ordered 5.  I'm tired of sports bras being the limiter on clea

I've sent the majority of my day at the hair salon.  Being blond is hard work!

Ack!  No one has posted this yet?  Ya'll are sleeping on the job!  :D  

I've been out of the house since I left for fitness classes at 8am - busy day, but a good one.  My last stop of the day was at Dress Barn where I had retail therapy.  This

FINALLY!  In April I'd gotten down to my lowest weight ever as an adult - 179!  Then everything happened with my dad and I've been snacking and getting off track and I proceeded to gain and lose the same 6 pounds for the next few months.  It's been fru

I haven't posted one of these in a while!  I'm FINALLY back to where I was in April and trending downwards.  It's taken a few weeks of being very conscientious and working hard to reset my brain to get out of the bad habits I'd fallen in to with all of

This is sort of a normal week for me, yay!  Well, the last of my current normal weeks.  Next week is a chemo week so everything is different, and the week after is when school starts, so I get to add some new fitness classes!  I still can't run, but I'

Inspired by another post... 

What do you order at Panera these days?  

I tend to go for a chicken caesar salad without the croutons.  I get chips on the side and I have a box I've been collecting them in.  I eat the chicken first and th

Happy Sunday!  I'm finally back to 180 today, hopefully next week will see me firmly in the 170s so I can stop the liquids before dinner I've been doing to reset my brain.  It's scary and eye opening to me that I was able to get off track these last fe

I survived Wednesday and now it's Thursday, a day of appointments for me.  I went to the dentist this morning and later today I've got my PCP and therapy.  I REALLY need therapy today.  I'm feeling really screwed up about my dad right now and I can't e

Wednesday is the day of the week I always dread and just really look forward to getting through.  Which is strange, because I like everything I do on Wednesdays.. I think I'm just out of the habit of working with my personal trainer so it's become some

Happy Tuesday!  

I start physical therapy for my hip today.  I've got high hopes that it'll get me back running, so fingers crossed!
