I pretty much know where everyone that counts is now, thanks to that website.

I’m at my third 5k now, and it’s definitely worth trying. I keep getting better finish times.

They misspelled my birth city the firs time (grr) so I had to redo the procedure, but I finally have it.

But because I’m a slacker, I’ve only just come back on the site. I’ve lost 30lb and then some!

Not the greatest book I’ve read, but an enternaining read anyway. I can’t really talk about his vocabulary or lack thereof, since I read the French translation, fairly well-done.

I just don’t have enough time to sleep, so forget about writing for now :(

I’m two pounds away from losing a 30lb total grins

Started cycling and the stair master at the gym. Not sure I’ll make it to the “official” spinning class but I’ll sure try.

Now that I’m in a weight-loss streak, losing these last 5lb for my yearly goal seemed much easier than losing the first 5. Going for 30 before end of January 2007.

I have lost another 3lb at this week’s weigh-in. I didn’t weigh myself every week before I lost the big 2-0, but right now I’m just so excited to see if there’s a change I have to restrain myself from checking every day.

I learned today that I lost 20 lb, so my next realistic goal would be 25. I’d like to lose it before 2007, but we’ll see, with Christmas and all… I’d make it a goal for January 31st.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I was weighed today, I finally did it! I never lost that much weight in my entire life, and I can’t believe how hard and easy it was at the same time. I’m setting a new goal, 25, and possibly 30 for the next year. For all those who are trying to lose weight, remember that slow and steady goes a long way, and don’t give up just yet!

It really is hard to put down!

I asked the girl at the gym to weigh me again, because I felt I lost some more weight in the past week. I can’t believe I’m two pounds from my goal! If I make it, I’ll set a new goal to lose 25lb.

I’ve never lost this much weight at once in my entire life; the most I’ve lost is 10lb and I always gained it back, so this is totally uncharted territory for me. 4lb seemed like nothing at first, but now they’re huge, hopefully I can get there..

Registration, check, choice of plot, check, now the only left to do is for the madness to start.

There is a Toastmasters club at my university, established recently. I just don’t know how I could fit the meetings in my schedule. I’m sure I’d love it, though, especially if I want to teach someday it’d be a great asset to perfect my speaking skills.

I started my clinicals in nursing, and, when your group is comprised of none of your “usual” friends, you need to be able to step out of your comfort zone and talk to people, which I’ve managed to do successfully so far.

I got myself a portable water bottle that can hold 1L and carry it wherever I go (classes, gym, car). It’s not so hard when you divide it evenly through the day, and don’t do like I did at first and drink most of it after dinner (bad, bad idea).

I can’t believe this, I’ve lost 15 pounds, more than I ever lost at once in a lifetime! And my BMI is almost in the “normal weight” category now, too.
