Update!

Blogging is just too difficult with my busy life.

I had forgotten I even still had this account, then I logged in today :)

Well....fortunately I have good news to share!

I weigh 127 lbs now! I fit into clothes I haven't been able to wear for years.


After the big office move, my life was pretty much turned upside down and I TOTALLY fell off the wagon for about 3 months. I ate terrible and didn't excercise one bit. I think I got back up to about 148+ lbs.

Then I read this book called "Skinny Bitch" back in March and was so moved by it that I became a full-time vegetarian, part-time vegan. I also started counting calories again which seems to be the only way for me to visualize what I'm actually eating. Wow! Being a vegetarian really helped me see how many nutrients I was missing out on by focusing so much on protein. I eat SO much fresh fruit and veggies now. I also really have gotten away from the processed foods I was eating before like protein bars, protein shakes, frozen meals etc. The bars I eat when I'm in a hurry are Lara bars (or something similar, there's alot of local California brands too). My protein comes mainly from soy products like tofu. I also try to eat beans and almonds for protein.

Then about in May I started trying to get back into exercising. By that time I hadn't done any sort of physical activity for longer than 5 minutes for 4 months. The weather was gorgeous, so I decided to start walking on my lunch breaks. Then I started jogging on my lunch breaks. Now I run about 6-7 miles a week and walk on all the days I don't run. It's great! Before I was really self conscience about running in public (I work downtown so there's people everywhere). Because I HATE it when guys are like checking me out. It doesn't bother me as much now. And I feel so good when I get back to work! Now my new goal is to take the Pilates class once a week.

Anyways, I probably will not be keeping this blog up regularly but I wanted to give everyone an update.

Keep up the good work!
