Finally, Another Update

August 29th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Miscellaneous.

I have no idea what I weigh right now. To be honest, I do not want to know.

I’ve been traveling a LOT this summer - in fact, I’ve been home maybe 3 weeks out of the entire summer. Currently, I am in the Midwest and planning to stay here until the end of September (upon which time I will be turning 30).

My eating habits lately have been a lot healthier than they were before. I make it a point to eat plenty of veggies and fruit. I eat several small meals per day, although sometimes with my schedule, it is hard. I have not gone back to low carbing, unfortunately, because I just cannot do it while traveling. It’s impossible.

Am I losing weight, you ask? Well, I’m not sure, because I do not have access to a scale, and do not want access to a scale. If I had to guess my weight right now - based on the way my clothes fit and comments from friends and family - I’d say I weigh 160 or so. Family members say that it looks like I have lost a few pounds in the last month. So perhaps I have lost a very slight few pounds.

I just found out that I got approved to move into an apartment here in the Midwest USA. I have decided to simultaneously live in two states - the Northeast (New Hampshire) and Midwest (Oklahoma). I love the Northeast but have a lot of family here in the Midwest, and am growing to love it here. The place I will be living (for part of the year) has a HUGE indoor pool, a state-of-the-art weight training and workout room, and is in a 32-story tower. The workout and pool rooms are open from like 6am to midnight. I am super-excited because I love swimming and I have absolutely no excuse not to get into shape with access to these facilities. I have ALWAYS wanted access to an indoor pool - I swim like a fish.

I am a little low on patience these days when it comes to weight loss. I mean, I’ve been eating SO much healthier and getting more exercise, yet, I have not seen major results. Yet, it took only 2 months to gain like 20 pounds. WTF? I want SO badly to be super-healthy and super-energetic. The weight doesn’t even matter anymore - I just want to feel and look good and fit into my old clothes.

Is that SERIOUSLY too much to ask? Seriously?

    Hey -
    You’re not pathetic - you’ve been through a lot, and you’re handling yourself amazingly. Look at all you’ve accomplished, and dropping 15lbs is amazing! Keep hanging on and pushing forward and welcome to the midwest.
