Okay, I don't (I'm already 5'8") but as I was thinking of something to write about, that song came into my head. Isn't it sad how we always focus on our imperfections? When I first started losing weight more than 2 years ago, my original goal weight was 155. When I reached my lowest weight so far (in June of 2006) of 157, I still wasn't happy with how I looked!! So, now as I think about my new goal weight of 145, I wonder if I will ever be happy with my body or how I look. Even if I have some sm… Continue

Yup, I don't even want to write this post...it's Monday, blah blah blah. I ate horribly all weekend, blah blah blah. I still can't get my act together blah. I think I stress ate the whole weekend. I was fretting over a guy and probably was calming my nerves with food. I even ate a Blizzard (Reeses Peanut Butter Cup--none the less) on Friday...what is going on?!! I almost feel like I need to make a fresh start today with my weight loss goal, etc...maybe writting it out will help and every Monday… Continue

I posted this within another blog entry but I'm still wondering...Does anyone swim laps for their workouts and do you believe it's a comparible workout to let's say, the elliptical? I'd like to start swimming at least once a week because I think it will be at the very least a great arm toning exercise (and I've definately got some upper arm chub issues). Oh no, this also means I probably need a new swimming suit! Duh dun dun (ominous music).

The last two mornings I've attempted to get my lazy butt out of bed at 5:45 to workout before work but it just hasn't happened. :oP That means I need to go tonight & get a really good workout in. It doesn't help that my back has been pretty sore lately & it makes me want to lie on the couch. Friday I'm walking for Relay for Life so that'll be 1 good workout at least!! Does anyone out there swim laps & do you feel it's a comparable workout to the elliptical or bike?

So on Sunday morning I actually weighed 159.4!! Holy crap! I think it was a fleeting moment though because I'm almost sure (yeah, I don't keep track) that TOM is coming soon...maybe? At least I hope since I weight a whole lot more than 159 today. Haha. I had a crazy Friday. My poor brother was supposed to walk in his High school graduation on Friday night but he ended up having his appendix removed instead. Ugh! And not only did he not get to walk, he was supposed to go to Japan yesterday as a… Continue
