Day 350: Sometimes I'm Happy

Update: technically, there shouldn't be one.. but I snuck a peak just now and it was 208.6lbs... a new low...

I have finally gotten over my sure gain last week and managed to do it without exercise. Yup, the gym bunny is too busy to exercise (at least until tomorrow).

I had made a significant effort to get to the gym yesterday morning, but after a late night, -20 and below morning temperatures and knowing I had a long day ahead of me, I just couldn't make myself get out of bed. Other than that, eating has been good. I have finally managed to eat within the ~1200 calories the last two days, but water intake has not been good. So I'll take the good over the bad... most of my school work for the week is over (the stressful stuff), so I can go back to a normal schedule.

I know for sure that I will only eat at this calorie level until the end of February - there is just way too much work involved in making sure I don't go over and I am hungry during the day, so it's definitely not something I will do for very long. 14-1500 calories seemed perfect.

I still haven't quite decided if I will go out with Josh again... I think I might, just to see if anything develops, but it seems the consensus is that if you don't feel anything immediately, then it's unlikely to suddenly develop later. Maybe we can be friends... but I have no idea how that works...

I am actually really excited for Valentine's Day this year... about 15-20 people (mostly from my class) are coming with me to a movie and some will go out for dinner beforehand. I like knowing that I actually have plans for once, even if it's not with that special someone (instead it's with my special someones). And that night leads into my last day of class before reading week! Thank god... I need a break to just re-focus myself, both on school and on exercise/cooking. I am itching to get cooking again - especially since watching many, many cooking shows. My fridge contents are getting low, but with the blizzard that is occurring outside right now, I think I will have to wait until another day to get it done (even though it's only about two long blocks away). Grr... I can NOT wait until spring!

I had another wonderful NSV on the weekend when one of my ex-roomies visited me. When she saw me (she hadn't seen me since mid-December) she said 'Holy shit, you look fantastic!' and then later jokingly asked if I became bulemic (for the record, I'm not... I hate vomiting). It was really nice to hear because I technically haven't lost that much weight since December, but maybe the inches have come off and I do feel skinnier lately. Love the NSVs!

Goodnight ladies, I hope to comment soon on your lives!
