Is what this post is going to be like.
I just wanted to write a quick post about how I was hanging out with my friend and former roommate yesterday and just as she was about to leave she says "By the way, have you lost weight?"
I said "Yes, actually."
She says "I thought so, your stomach looks flatter. Whatever you are doing, keep it up!"
*grins* I love it when people tell me I look like I have lost weight. I mean, I know I have - and my pants fit differently to prove it - but sometimes I just think I was so fat that I will have to lose 100 pounds before I start to look different. It is an extra little boost of positive reinforcement. Yay.

The End of The Biggest Loser ... A Bit Late
So I meant to post this last weekend (or at least at the beginning of this week) but that didn't happen because I suck. Haha. Actually I think it is more because I have been busy doing all sorts of crafty things, but that is neither here nor there.
Anyway, Biggest Loser is officially over. I didn't win, but I still think I did dang awesome and I am going to reward myself with chocolate. Oh wait. Okay, a small piece of chocolate. :)
My total weight loss was 8.8% in 6 weeks. I would tell you in pounds because I feel like that is a bit more impressive, but if I do that then you will know how much I weighed in the first place, and how much I know now, and I am not ready for that. Once I am even smaller I will give you a total poundage. Just know that I am a big girl and so 8.8% is significant ;)
Exercise - For the last 2 weeks I haven't done any exercising. I keep MEANING to go running but I really like to hang out with friends in the evening and work on crafts and just not freeze in general. It was quite rainy for a while and I wasn't sure I wanted to go running in the rain - although my roommate says she loves it, because then she doesn't over heat and she doesn't feel like she is sweating because all dampness can be blamed on external factors. I guess I just need to get over it. I live in Oregon, if I don't run in the rain then I can't really be a runner. I will work on it.
Eating - I haven't been keeping as good of track of my eating as I was before either (I haven't logged into my cal tracking website for a week! ack). I guess I kinda got sick of it. Also, I feel like making good choices is coming a bit more naturally now so I don't need the constant validation from the site. Or course, that is going to bite me in the butt in a bit when I have gained back all I lost and then some. :-/ Alright, you convinced me, I am logging in right now! I repent!
I am going to try to keep up working on being healthy and I am going to keep updating (although I think you thought I gave up! oh ye of little faith) It just might not be as often ... and it wasn't that often. I think I will keep Sunday as my 'weigh in' day so that I can have something as a consistency. So, maybe I will even update again tomorrow! (Don't hold your breath).
