No,
that's a lie. Nobody pulled me back in. But I missed you, Internet. I missed
you so hard it hurt a little bit, and I gotta say, I did not care for it.
So I
started thinking: new year, new commitment to talking about things on the
internet. Seems like an easier resolution than say, losing 30 pounds, so why
the heck not.
For a
blog that dealt so significantly with weight loss, it's probably the assumption
of most readers that, when I stopped blogging, I started eating. But that's
absolutely, totally and completely not true. I waited an additional three
months to start eating, thank you very much.
After
August and my last post here, I lost a few more pounds to hit a 2014 low of
144.2. I maintained an average weight of 145-148 throughout the fall, usually by
exercising once or twice a week, dieting one or two days a week, and besides
that, enjoying the fall and enjoying the holidays. It was glorious. It was
terrifyingly busy.
And then
it was Christmas and somehow this morning I weighed 155.
But
that's okay, because at some point this past year, if you don't count the last
week or so, I lost about 32 pounds in 2014. And yeah sure, shut up, I gained 10
of that back (wow, that hurts my feelings to say), but what the heck would I
even DO with my life if I didn't have 20 or 30 pounds to lose at any given
moment?!?
I don't
know.
My job.
Raise the
kids.
Be a
better human.
Blah blah
blah.
Forget
about all those crazy hypotheticals, because dang it, January is PRACTICALLY
HERE, and it's time to lose 20 or 30 pounds again!!
Woohoo!
Time to refocus my life on the things that really matter, like, for example,
whether or not I have a muffin top. And world peace. Probably.
So today,
155.0. I did 100 jumping jacks this morning and very nearly died, and I’m back
on the Slim Fast because I’m hoping my January 1 starting weight will be closer
to 150 than 160, because at the rate I’ve been gaining this past week, there’s
a fair chance I could see 170 before that ball drops.
And then
I would have to cry, and no one wants to see that.
So anyway,
happy fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, winter, Christmas, and last couple days of
2014, folks. Hope you’ve had a great year, but if not, no worries. In 3 days,
we all get hover boards.
