205, 205, 205...that is my magic number right now. Once I hit 205, I'll know everything is back the way it should be. Then I'll be one third of the way done. That seems like such a huge accomplishment to me!
Lately I've been feeling skinny. I know this is exactly what I weighed while school was in session last year, but for some reason I'm feeling thinner. I fit into all my pants and I'm almost rid of that horrid "pouch" that hangs over them (it's still there, but only a little).
I really, really want to be in the 190's for Halloween. I can't get that by cheating, so I've pledged 30 cheat free days. I'm not promising myself I won't cheat on Halloween, but you know how these things go :)
Later on I'll try to find pictures of me at various weights, to show y'all.
High school - Freshman : 160 something? I was very active during this time. I played softball for my school's team!
High school - Soph/Junior/Senior : 175-185 I didn't go out for softball my soph year because I had a broken wrist, and then I didn't for subsequent years because I didn't like the new coach (lame!)
Summer after high school : 195 I started a new job where my dad took me out to lunch every weekday.
College - Freshman : 185-200 I actually LOST my freshman 15 because I had to fend for myself food-wise...and I'm kind of lazy, so sometimes I just didn't cook and ate a can of tuna instead :)
College - Sophomore : 199-208 I tried to lose some weight and got below 200, so that made me happy! But I ruined it at Thanksgiving. LAME!
Now : 206-225 : Started Atkins again at 225, and I've lost 19 pounds. It's not as easy as I was thinking it was going to be; but then again, I'm the one making it not easy.
When I get to 200 I'll post up a new picture for y'all to see :)
Whew! Long entry.
