I generally treat this space as a place to pontificate, a (much-needed) trip to the psychiatrist or (more often than not) stand-up night at a really bad comedy club, but I don’t want to forget that I’m here for the same reason you’re here: because I am on a weight loss journey.
I’ve recently logged in my first month and I just wanted to take a quick look-see at my progress and accomplishments.
Good news: I’ve lost weight (25.8 lbs. to be exact).
Bad news: Had to retire my favorite belt.
Good news: I’ve joined a gym right around the corner from my office and am exercising daily.
Bad news: Laundry has quadrupled (and gotten extra stinky)
Good news: I’m making better food choices.
Bad news: Vending machine sales at my office are way down.
Good news: I haven’t had a diet soda in over a month.
Bad news: Guess who gets the money from the office vending machines?
Good news: I bought myself a fancy VitaMix blender and am blending up anything and everything.
Bad news: The cat is missing.
Good news: I’m down a pants size.
Bad news: I own more pants that I’m too big for than ones that fit.
Good news: I’m sleeping better, moving better and feeling better.
Bad news: I didn’t do this sooner.
Good news (for me): I’ve started my own weight loss blog.
Bad news (for everybody else): I’ve started my own weight loss blog.
Thanks to everyone who’s stopped by and shared their time and comments with me. I really do appreciate it.
Update
More bad news: It looks like the wallpaper in my grandmother’s bathroom (thanks a lot, …45 and Aspiring)
