One Year and 7 Days: Round the Bend

Update: 211.2lbs

The weight goes down slowly, which I am surprisingly okay with. I've been eating a higher amount of calories lately (1700) which the daily plate thinks I can live on and still manage to lose two pounds a week. I am willing to test this theory out for a while because I am enjoying eating. The popcorn especially... I honestly don't know why I haven't home-made it before. I even bought some corn oil today to try out (I was using vegetable oil before, which gave it a slightly unique flavour). And plus TOM is around this week... so I am likely retaining a little bit anyway.

I have been cooking a little more lately, baked chicken fingers last night, sweet potatoes - slowly but surely I'll get back to old habits. I will make my first (ever!) pot roast on Friday or Sunday night and I am moderately excited about that. It will be quite the accomplishment. I also bought a ton of vegetables and actually cut up some of them so I will actually eat them!

Saturday is the wedding and my New Year's dress from a million months ago is now tailored for me, and I just have to figure out which shoes and sweater I will wear with it... not to mention how to do hair and makeup. Man it's been a long time since I've been to a wedding. I am a little excited for it and hoping there are some friendly 20-somethings to talk to (heck.. and maybe dance with).

On Friday night some of my class is going to asian-style karaoke, where you have your own private room. I think that will be hilarious if some of us actually get up and sing. Hmm... with a couple of drinks I can be persuaded - the question is which songs?

The next week will be crazy with a midterm, practical, lots of projects, a presentation... blah... so I best get to bed so I may actually survive it all...
