Sleep to Dream

Update: 214lbs

Well... at least in my very long absence I have at least stayed moderately stable weight-wise.

What have I been up to? Not very much... working every work day, some family obligations (like helping my mom pack up and move, my niece's birthday etc.). Weight loss just hasn't really been on the radar, but believe me I do think about it every day.

When I look back, I honestly do not know where the time went. How is the summer going by so quickly?? And where the hell did my motivation go? I really truly don't know what it is lately (pretty much since January) that's had me wane in my determination to lose the weight. I guess part of it is never having adjusted health-wise to living in my new place. I also blame the weather and whatever/whoever else I can to take away from the fact that I am just lazy after work. But I can no longer use the 'walking to work and back' and being on my feet all day as substitutes for exercise. They are not equal.

I need to have simple goals once again... water and exercise and multivitamin for the next little while. I just need to get that in order (especially the exercise) before I start feeling that spark again (I hope).

I just found out today that the technologist that I work most often with (and really really like and respect) is leaving one week Monday for a better job. I am really very sad about it, he's the one I get along best with and I find him one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met in my field (not that I have met that many). So obviously he deserves better than his job now therefore I am also really happy for him. But why couldn't he wait the three weeks I have left there? :(

16 more days and then freedom... I think I am planning a European trip or at least a trip somewhere, I need out of the city for an adventure.
