Okay, so um... wow... I've been pretty bad. Which is part of the reason that I didn't hop back on here as soon as my internet got fixed...
I'm sad to say that the big 190 has crept back up on me...BUT I'm fighting it, especially since I gained to 193 over the holidays...*smack head* Being at school now is a lot easier. I never eat lunch there, only a semi large snack when I get home(about 3) and then I eat a late dinner usually.
I do want to lose this weight, more now than ever since the riding lessons are within my grasp, and for only 10 bucks a lesson for volunteers. I went to the Y yesterday and did 30 on the cross trainer, and a bunch of weights.
With the weight back on, i'm kinda bummed, but at the same time energized and motivated to lose it and more again. Especially since I got a $50 gift card to JC Penny, and that means I'll be using it to buy me new "skinny" clothes!

Hey there Xorie!
I gained some too - but I'm back to my signature mark - it's not surprising - I think the "Reason For The Season Is Food" It's hard to get away from it!
Good for you for getting back on track! You know, when you buy those skinny clothes, you're going to HAVE to post pictures

I'm soooo sorry guys... I've just been in a rut lately, and losing my best friend as a friend didn't help me much either....
I've gained back soo much weight... i was back up to 196... that's almost 10lbs gained... I just can't seem to be able to stop eating, and even though I know it's bad, i just do it anyway. Plus on top of that, school's crazy, with so many school days, everyone is scrambling before finals. (we lost 5 days to either snow, flooding, or wind storms)
I'm sorry that I haven't been here, and it means something that you guys noticed that I wasn't around. I don't know why I always pull away when I really need the support the most. To me, it just doesn't make sense in the logical way. Again, I'm really sorry. I would like to get back on track, and I hopefully plan on doing so.
T2, M2M, Jen, thank you so much for noticing that I was gone. Again, i say, it really does mean something to me. *hugs all around* I promise to be around more often now.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

You're back!
I think it's natural for us to pull away when we feel we're not doing well, but you're right, it makes more sense to stay here and get the support when you need it the most!
Sometimes we need to step back from constantly trying to lose, and say, the most I can do right now is try and maintain.
Or, all I can concentrate on is just getting my water.
Take one small thing, and hold to that until you're able to get back to the rest.
Keep posting Xorie,
We're here for you!

So glad your back. How could I not notice when your gone? Lol.
You'll get back on track. You always end up handling your business in the end.

Whew !! I'm relieved to see you back and even more relieved this boo boo can be fixed
Take some deep breathes and get your schoolin' all taken cared of and then we can set sail.
Just forgive yourself, you owe no one an apology on here. We're ready when you are.
We care.

*more hugs all around* You guys are so great!
Anyway, I feel like I did great today. We were out of milk, so I had a toasted turkey sandwich for breakfast, then got called in to volunteer at the horse place where I preceded to muck out 3 huge stalls. (that's pretty hard stuff) And I had a bagel for lunch. I did have an ice cream bar, but that was my only offense. And dinner was a sandwich and soup. (nice and warm, considering it's been about 20 degrees for the last few days)
Other than that, I'm feeling great. Sore from staying on my feet for so long, but great!

Well another good day today!
I had cereal for breakfast, and though I had a little more than I should have, it wasn't too bad.
Lunch was a bagel and cream cheese again, and I snacked on some of those peanut butter and chedder cracker things. And half a soda, (which was the first soda i've had in a looooong time)
Dinner will be something yummy and warm!!
oh, and the scale said 194 even today!
