So things are looking up in many ways, but at the same time, I feel like I'm slipping already. In September I quit drinking and taking all substances for months and I felt so good in spite of having been abandoned by the one person I always thought I could depend on. I felt free and independent and I also felt healthy. I had lost...

things are looking up lately. A lot. There are some difficult moments in regards to my ex-husband, but over all... it was really for the best.

Oh yeah: 132 pounds. I rock.

Today: 148 pounds.

Ran and lifted yesterday, only did some core work today as I think I'm coming down with something- that or the suddenly cold air has really irritated my sinuses.

I really need to start eating properly again, and I do try to force myself to eat. I just can't eat every much, and if I do eat too much (as in: I...

Sure. Weekdays are busy these days unless you can come for lunch. Otherwise, weekends are generally OK.

Also, don't let your new guy give you legal advice until after you've had sex with him! Otherwise, he could be violating an ethical rule. True fact!
tds:
I have kept up via Facebook, but I am routinely awful with commenting (saying this as the person who hadn't been here since January and didn't see your comment until now). Very glad to see things are going well and I hope they continue.

July: 175 pounds, size 14

Today : 151 pounds, size 8

Realistic short term goal: 135 pounds, size 4. Time frame: maybe 2 months?

Unrealistic long term goal: To be able to see my abs and biceps. Time frame: 6 months to a year?

Hell if I know, I've never seen the damn things before and don't know what it takes or how tiny I'll...

It's probably long past time I posted a new blog. Unfortunately I am still struggling like hell to get out of this strange limbo I've gotten myself into. Basically my problem is even though I'm running up that hill, I need a demon on my heels to make some progress.

I still don't have a job, but at least I have an apprenticeship of sorts....

*deep breath*

I'm going to lose 30 pounds. I weighed myself today and came in at 162.7 pounds. I need to do it by the second week of May. This is going to require a lot of commitment for me, because I need to drop it fast, but I want to do it the healthy way by eating fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins,...

I live in North Oakland.
It's a 20 minute walk from Macarthur bart.
I moved here at the beginning of the month.

Sorry we missed this! I didn't even see it. We both ended up getting home late and passing out early that night. Happy belated birthday, though!

So I busted my foot last week. I've spent 7 days as a complete invalid, and I think it's paid off and my foot is much better. However if you listen to Nurse Butch, RN (my next door neighbor) I should not even be getting out of bed, period, ala bed pan + sponge baths. It's NOT broken, I'm 95% positive. No I didn't have...

Glad you're on the mend, D.K. (a.k.a. N.). Take it slow.
trogman:
Thanks, N. Last night was... Well, not good. Great effort to keep the beast at bay at the moment--though I feel much better now today. Kind words from strangers and a friend.

Glad you're enjoying the book. Did you get through the last chapters I sent? Are you maybe interested in seeing more once I get back to working on it? (The plan is to be back at it later this week, once I've got my current rewrite behind me.)

Oh, and how's the foot?

Hi guys. I'm still here, though I really wasn't for a while. My head was up my ass for a while, and understandably so. School is all done, I've passed state board, and I'm a licensed esthetician now. I'm going to start looking for work in January, hopefully to be employed by April.

I seriously need to start getting to the gym. During school, I...

Heh. Long story short, I moved from OC to work in Manhattan from fall '06 to late spring '08, quit, then did a 4 month, 30 state, 18,000 mile solo motorcycle road trip around the US and Canada, then relocated to Philly and did movie and private collection/consulting work all over the US before taking this management job in L.A. after burning man.

Hopefully I'll be here a while. I'm working mad crazy hours until spring but I really really want to make it up to SF and catch up with all you great folks. If - when - that comes to pass, I'll let you know. kiss
subrosa:
Congratulations on finishing school! As I said in your album, the sleeve looks wonderful.

And thank you so much for inviting us over for New Years. I don't think we'll be able to make it, but I will present it as an option to the ladies.

Regardless, hope to see you guys soon. smile

So far school has eaten anything that I had approximating close to a life. Hopefully I'll get used to the homework/course load quickly. As for right now, I must start laundry or else I'll have nothing to wear to school tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a workout in, some dinner, and then yet more homework awaits me.

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alive....

Being married is interesting.

So my husband and I have decided that we are going to start working out. I was in awesome shape when we first met because I was biking all the time, going dancing, and honestly not really eating much to speak of.

To be honest, I've put on some "happy relationship" weight. For a bit there I was cooking fantastic meals...

That isn't good enough for me though.
I'm better off..

I don't think much of it either..
That's pretty much why I'm not really trying...at all...to get his attention. *shrug*
I used to care..
