5 away

First entry in a while. Many relevant things to discuss, but I’m going to limit myself to a short (and inane?) blip about weight loss. I’m teetering on the edge of being overweight (actually I’ve crossed over several times this year, but made it back) and I’ve been gaining weight steadily over the past couple of years. I’ve worked out more this year than, well, ever;  which is not saying much at all, but it’s a start and I’m proud of myself for it. Overall I haven’t actually lost any weight, but I haven’t gained any either. Yay for me? It’s frustrating. I’ll go on an exercise/healthy eating kick for a week or two, and occasionally even see results, not so much on the scale, but in the way my clothes fit – just a touch looser, a bit less of a belly bulge. It’s great, but I inevitably fall off the wagon and things go right back to the way they were. Ughh. I’m using a calorie-counting site which is incredibly useful when I actually, well, use it. To further motivate myself I’ve banned the purchase of any new clothes (shoes excluded, hehe) until I reach my intermediate goal weight of 135 lbs. I have plenty of clothes, so it’s not a particularly harsh measure. More of a reward-based technique since I loove shopping. I’m 5 lbs away, which sounds awesome, except that I’ve been 5 lbs away for the past 6 months. 

So yeah. No real point to  this entry aside from trying to motivate myself to stick with it and all. Real catch-up entries to follow!
