The Countdown

Back in the states and chunky.

Well, I've made it back in one piece, my semester cut short.

I'm not all that upset, I still got an enjoyable three months, and, hell, I have a story to tell. I was in the earthquake. Not many people can say that (not that I'd want them to have that story anyway).

Well, since this is the weight loss blog, let's get to that.

I gained about 15 pounds during my months there. I ran a bit, but regularly because of lack of time and sometimes just plain laziness. It happens to the best of us. I'm sad, because I struggled to get down to 209/8 and I was so close to getting under 200...sigh. But, I shall continue. I went running the day after I got back, jet lag and all. So, there will be progress.

Also, apparently, my aunt is trying to make herself thinner than me. She's a 40 year old woman, so you know, and she's trying to compete with me. I'm not that small to begin with...but it seems I'm just too small for her and she feels...threatened? Not sure, since we're in totally different age brackets, but...what ever. I guess it's motivation for me.

So, back to running around and dieting. It's been hard, because I've been hungry all the time...I need to get this under control to get back to losing. Wish me luck!

P.S. Hope everyone is doing well!

Ugh.

Well, if you've glanced at the other blog, you know I'm alright Earthquake wise, but something's gotten me down.

While I wasn't planning on losing a huge amount a weight, I've gained quite a bit of weight while I was in Japan. Between 10-20 pounds. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who managed to gain that much weight while in Japan of all places. But I just ate and ate, and I just couldn't work out as constantly as I used to...but I still ate. Lots of bread and rice, which aren't bad for you, but in the amounts I had them...man.

I'm disappointed. When I leave here, I don't want to weigh myself until the end of my actual school's semester, because seeing 220, or god forbid, 230 come up on the scale with just leave me in tears.

I'll just have to get back on the horse, but I'm so disappointed that I let myself go that much in three months. I have to try harder.

Photo Update

I haven't done one since...October? I know my body is still pretty much the same, but I've gotten lazy, don't you think?

Sorry that I haven't been updating much in general. Japan & school has kept me busy. On to the photos.

Kind of the same, but they're there none the less. I do hope everyone is doing well though. :)
