I lot has happened since I was last on here.  Unfortunately not much weight loss, but I'm ok with it at the moment.

I have started taking some meds ... http://moongoddess.buddyslim.com/2008/02/11/update-on-me/ So after an intense & hard weekend with my parents, which left me feeling about an inch tall, I feel much better today.  My parents just know how to cut me down sometimes.  I know they mean well, but it doesn't help when they complain about my weight & then ... http://moongoddess.buddyslim.com/2008/01/15/finally/ So yesterday ended not so great. I am struggling to get to terms on a situation with a friend.  She isn't doing that great & some other friends want to step in & intervene before it gets too late.  In my opinion, she is just going to be pushed away from ... http://moongoddess.buddyslim.com/2008/01/10/oops/ So the scale doesn't seem to be my friend lately... I can make a million excuses, hormones, sodium levels, eh....whatever.  I just have to stick with the healthy habits & trust that it will pay off sooner or later. If I am going to stress over a number this week its ... http://moongoddess.buddyslim.com/2008/01/09/so-close/ ok so I shouldn't say "nothing".. who knows what could happen!  But I will not be stopped by the little things.

I have been marching my ass off all morning & walking extra steps to do everything. Was about to hop on the treadmill, because TODAY I was going to get as close to 10,000 steps as possible. I mean I took a friggin personal day to focus ... http://moongoddess.buddyslim.com/2008/01/03/deck-stacked-against-me-today/ stupid scale. weighed for the first time in 2008, & it wasn't where I thought it would be.  I want to go back to 2007.  I was up a few pounds to 183.6.  Course I should be happy I'm not where I was at the beginning of 2007. Just need to move ... http://moongoddess.buddyslim.com/2008/01/03/grrr/ So I ended up doing great new years eve.  Stressed out like a crazy woman about what to wear & how everything I owned made me look even fatter & ended up getting to the party an hour late.  Jeez.  I felt like a loser, but I ended up missing ... http://moongoddess.buddyslim.com/2008/01/02/new-years-2008/ Some days are just better than others. Woke up today to see the scale heading back downward, still above the pre-christmas weight, but good to see a drop anyway. Gotta love a day off.  Going to hit the treadmill again today.  Felt good to be back on it last night.  ... http://moongoddess.buddyslim.com/2007/12/29/ah/
