loose 15 pounds
I did it 1 year ago

I can officially scratch this one off the list, because I have lost 15 pounds since joining weight watchers in June. Add that to the five pounds I lost pre-weight watchers, and I’ve gone from 160 in Jan. to 140 now, from a size 14 to a 10! But, when I wrote this as a goal, I had no idea I weighed 160 lbs. So now I’ve made it my goal to loose 15 more. But I’m not letting that count against me here. If I hadn’t lost the first 15 I promised myself I would at the time, then I wouldnt even have the motivation to keep going.

For you others who have this same goal- I highly recommend weight watchers. The points system makes it so much easier than guessing at what’s healthy. And by getting into the habit of checking labels for fat, fiber, and calories, I decided to go all the way and also check for trans-fats and animal un-friendly ingredients. So I’m a better vegetarian for it, and I’m healthier. But I still squeeze in a delicious vegan mocha chocolate cake once in awhile!

Tomorrow is the beginning of the end. My last semester. I hope to enjoy it. The Longhorn football victories, Mr. Roboto at the Wendy’s ringing up my order like a mad man, walking around the 40 acres in the 100 degree heat of September, being late to all of my classes, being able to skip out whenever I want… ahhh! I wonder how I will look back on these days when they are over. I wonder if life will even change when they are.

Tomorrow.
