lose 100 pounds (read all 18 entries…)
Stats as of June 4th, 2008

Starting weight – 270

Goal weight – 170

Weight lost/gained since last update – +3 pounds

Total weight lost – 23 pounds

I have to admit, I was terrible while I was in Phoenix. Burritos, frybread, pastry..I’m lucky I only gained three pounds. The awesome part was not needing a seatbelt extender on the plane. Not only that, I didn’t feel like I was spilling over the seat. Woot! Now that I’m back home, I have to refocus.

Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful. (read all 56 entries…)
For today....June 4th, 2008

1) My growing stash of home made wine. A glass at night is a nice way to unwind.

2) Detroit Red Wings are the Stanley Cup camps. I would’ve rather seen the Blues there, but I’ll take my second favorite.

3) Slowly falling back into my daily routine, but missing the boy like crazy.

4) Feeling confident in myself. If he wants to be with me, he will. If he doesn’t, it’s completely and totally his loss – and believing that.

5) Getting an invite to a party this weekend. I’m the girl that never gets invited to anything!

My new and fulfilling experience in June...

I’m going back to Atlanta, but this time it’s to try my hand at car modification – I have a Scion xB (the old style), and I’m putting in a new sound system, LED lights in the dash, on the handles, and in the external wheel wells – of course with supervision by someone who’s already done it, but still.

After that, I’m going to hit the Sweetwater powwow and visit with friends I haven’t seen a couple of years.

In all honesty, I’d give it all up if I could go back to Phoenix to be with The Boy.
