Going back to school has helped me in so many ways.  Today’s happiness is because of it.  I guess from having to walk a mile to and from class in the mountains twice a week is really paying off.  I have reached my mini goal and I couldn’t be happier.  I also went to go buy new work clothes for the first time in probably 2 years and I dropped a size.

Also for the first time in 2 years I am under 200lbs.  I celebrated by buying an amazing vintage purse, some flip flops, two new pairs of pants, and a new pair of shoes!  I’m just sooooooo happy!

The all new Ruby is coming along.  I’m going to get my eyes checked this morning and order some contacts (another thing I haven’t had in about 2 years).

I feel like I’ve lost weight and today one of my coworkers said to me that I looked like I was losing weight.  My pants are more loose and my shirts are more baggy but just a little.  I wish I had a scale so that I could check in.  Well, I wish I had a reliable scale.  I have one from about 15 to 20 years ago and I swear I can step on it one minute and it will say 204 and then a minute later it says 216.  It’s dumb.

I also need to be logging on more often.  I feel that I’m getting a lot of support but that I’m not really giving any in return….even to my dear friend Leslie that showed me this site.

As I write this I’m at work, and trying to act like I’m working as to not get in trouble.  Time is something I hardly ever have.

 Thank you all!

I’ve been so busy between school, work, boyfriend, friends, I haven’t stopped to take the time to go to the gym. I do workout at home in the mornings and I have been eating very well but with no actual gym trips I thought for sure that I was either staying the same weight or I had gained some. I checked the little digital scale at my sister in law’s house last night and wow, I love 9lbs. I’m not sure where it went but it’s gone and I’m happy!

It came at the perfect time too. I had a semi-bad day yesterday. I went to the bridal fair downtown and noticed that people weren’t as eager to help me as they were with the tiny girl that was in front of me in line. Also, it’s sad but true, they’re still racism in El Paso. I would see a skinny or chubby Hispanic girl being treated greatly, I’d walk up and they would barely say two words to me. I took my ghetto little brother with me and he’s very blunt. He let each person know how rude they were being haha!

But with that weigh in I had a good evening and put the day behind me.

The flu is gone!  I’m so glad, that was horrible!  And now I’m ready to work.  I’ll be planning my own wedding soon so that gives me another reason to do this.  I started this morning but unfortunately since I had my last bid of bad food last night I didn’t sleep well.  No more heave/spicy food before bed for me!  So I didn’t make it to the gym but I figure as long as I do something, even a little bit, it’s better than nothing at all.  I’m excited to get back to the gym though, I love it.  I just wish I wasn’t the only person on earth without an ipod, I’m tired of the gym radio haha.

A very close friend of mine invited me to this site and because I’ve been wanting to lose weight I thought it would be a good idea to join with her so we can cheer each other on. I can’t do anything now though because I have the flu. I haven’t left the house since i got home from work on Thursday evening and I’m so achy that I can hardly move. So, this isn’t a good way to start. I’m looking forward to getting better so I can head to the gym in the mornings…..or if it’s too cold I can just work out here at home. There’s actually a channel on my digital cable called Exercise TV on demand, you can literally do any kind of workout from Pilates, Yoga, to dancing or just work on specific areas. Anyway, it’s an awesome way to work out when it’s way too cold to go to the gym. Back to taking medicine and a nap!
