I coulda sworn I'd posted a blog entry at least once this month. Apparently not though. Sorry guys.
Alright, so, first things first. As of Friday, I'd lost 21lbs since new years. Obviously, I'm very happy about this, but I'd just like to acknowledge something for those who may not know. Losing weight is not a steady decline. There can be a lot of ups and downs on the scale. For me, once I see that new lowest weight, that's the number that I stick with until the next lowest. Now, there actually hasn't been that much fluctuation for me in a while cuz I've been doing my best to eat well. But things like a full bladder or not having a bowel movement for a couple days can make it seem like you've put on weight or not lost any. This is why people say to pay attention to the inches more than the scale. And I've been trying to, but it's hard to not want to know. It's a constant struggle, but I have seen the inches get smaller, so at least I know I'm on the right track.
Ok, so, the game plan for this coming week is to make a huge batch of smoothie with added spinach as a low cal filler, go to the gym like 4 times, buy a lot of grapes cuz they're finally on sale (lol), and continue to purge all my really old Cosmo magazines. When I was cleaning the crap outta my room last weekend, I decided to start getting rid of some of my old Comsos. And when I say old, I mean it. My first copy (which I just came across yesterday) is from May '04. But mostly I have issues from about 2006 and on. What I've been doing is going through each issue really quick and tearing out any pics or articles I want to keep, but there haven't been too many of those. Overall, it feels good to be freeing up that space and de-cluttering my room a little.
I think that's all I have to say for now. Hope everyone has a good St. Paddy's day. My mom wants to go to a bar for green beer. It's kinda uncharacteristic for her, but whatever. lol
