Catch up (pt.2):
So I have been calorie counting since I said I would start. I has been a little bit rough. It is taking me some time to figure out a good daily goal for myself. The calorie calculator told me to loose two pounds a week I should consume 2400. To stay the same it was something like 3400. So what do I set my limit for? 1500 of course! No. Bad. And after a week of always going over...

So as I was saying… I am not sitting as much in the shadows anymore and part of that means less time for tumblr. Not that I ever wrote a ton on here and not that some of my absence hasn’t been laziness, but still. I am going to try to catch up this weekend and then make a habit of posting during lunch at work. Writing it out helps. It helps keep things in perspective. It helps keep...

Today is lovely.
I woke up at 7:30 on a Saturday. On weekdays, when I work at 8:30, I only roll out of bed at 7:50 so let’s just call it an early morning. But the sun is shining and the leaves are dancing on the trees and I went to the market with my mother. So much fresh and delicious food was purchased. So many beautiful things perused. There was this one stall with gorgeous silk screened...
Also, I’ve noticed that I am wearing the same bra in almost every photo. I don’t know how this happened - I do own more than one bra. I will have to start paying attention from now on!!

Things I would like to be able to do:
have fun at the beach
let my legs see the sun
fit comfortably into all seats in class, at the theatre, on planes…
run for the bus without breaking a sweat
and those are just some little, everyday things that would change my life. There are so many more like that and so many other big, not-everyday goals I have.
and it would be really really nice if...

Okay. Re-evaluation time.
I am doing something wrong. Probably lots of things wrong. It has been two months and it’s not like I think I should have lost 50 lbs by now but I do think that I should be doing much, much better.
I am home now and at a different gym but shouldn’t all those fancy scales with the weights you move be accurate? Did I seriously GAIN NINE POUNDS in the past...

I went to the gym again this morning thank you very much.
I am also resisting the temptation to make 12 mochas with the fancy coffee and hot chocolate machines at work. I only had two last week but I am going for none this week.
I have also been thinking about this for a long time and I really need to just finally write it: I need to like my body the way it is now.
I don’t need to like it...

Reasons I hate going to the gym in the morning before work:
waking up earlier
having less time on the machines
waking up earlier
getting to work with a bright red face, no makeup, and my hair not done after my shower and then being told ‘Surprise! You are going to cover the receptionist’s lunch hour and people will be seeing what a mess you are when you haven’t fixed yourself...

Where oh where have I been??
Well, there are a few reasons for my absence but none of them very good. I had exams, I was moving home for the summer which took two days on the road, then work began immediately. I could say I didn’t write this week because I was getting settled and it’s true - I’m still not completely unpacked. Or because of my sudden interest/obsession with...
