I Miss You Old Friends

Dear Size 10 and Size 12 Clothing,

Hey old friends long time, no see. It's been a while since we last connected, but I haven't forgotten about you. Honestly, I think about you quite often and the days we spent together for what seams like forever ago (pun intended). We were such a perfect fit but had somewhat lost touch (pun again intended). There's no excuse, but I started hanging with the wrong crowd...Starbucks, cheeseburgers, milkshakes, oreo pies, cupcakes, fried foods, chips, etc. The comfort they provided was what I thought was needed, but ironically the satisfying feeling left me feeling empty.

I'm hoping we can rekindle our relationship and reconnect soon. I'm looking forward to a possible Spring 2012 reunion. I miss you and hope we'll never lose touch.

Hopefully,

Latiste

Happy Belated Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Valentines, etc, etc.!

It's been a good while since my last post because I had gotten myself in a terrible rut where only a vacation could get me out of it! Yep, the holidays and work stress had gotten the best of me and I saw my weight hit 197 lbs. early December 2011.

Once again, I made my mind up start an exercise regimen during my 2 week Christmas break --The joys of working in a public school! It was tough starting out because I would set my alarm for 5:00 AM, but the upside was that I was able to take mid-day naps if I necessary.

I gotta admit I feel great. Everything in my life isn't always peachy keen, but I'm dealing with stress times better. I resorted back to counting calories as well. I counted for about the first month and a half, but stopped because I thought I had a handle on things since I was exercising daily. Well, I noticed my weight came to a stand still so I decided to continue counting and it does help with my discipline. I'm so, so ready to reach my goal weight. Meanwhile I'm having fun working towards it and shopping for smaller sized clothing!!
