Lose 2 dress sizes

I don’t want to focus on pounds because that’s not an accurate measure of a person’s progress (muscle weighs more than fat, and if you’re training you are building muscle).

Healthy eating (I have a special definition for what that is) and regular activity is all one needs!

Not any time too soon, anyway!

that I will lose this weight in a way that is HEALTHY! I want to be stronger and more energetic, not just smaller.

...Though I think I’m starting out well this time. A couple of people have already told me I look like I’m losing weight (yay).

Having my best friend at school going through this struggle with me has helped a TON. We inspire/shame each other into making better food/exercise choices.

Drinking smoothies for breakfast has helped in countless ways.

Keeping healthy food at school for lunch and snacks has helped (tuna – which I eat dry or on salad, bagged salad, craisins, fruit, yogurt, etc). It is awesome that a fellow teacher in close proximity to my classroom has gotten a fridge I can use!

Running Buddies are back in my life and I couldn’t be more thankful. Hubby and a couple of friends at school have committed to hitting the trail with me two or three times a week at set dates and times.

We’ll see what happens! :-)

Ive decided to take this up again, mostly due to my impending move to France – land of the sleek and chic. And, from analysis of my life, I suspect I have discovered the cause of my lacking a slender, continental figure: university (aka booze-party-sleep in til 4pm whereupon decided to eat leftover takeaway discovered in the kitchen-City). Imagine my surprise…

“Here at Globo Gym, we understand that “Ugliness” and “Fatness” are genetic disorders, much like baldness or necrophilia, and it’s only your fault if you don’t hate yourself enough to do something about it.”

lol ok, silly quote, but Dodgeball is hilarious :P

Just about down one size. Progress fluctuates annoyingly. grr…
