Ups and Downs

October has been filled with a lot of ups and downs. From a surprisingly underwhelming trip to Flagstaff at the beginning of the month to a lot of loneliness following me around this month as I get into the groove of my new life in Phoenix - and realize it's not all that groovy after all, I have been off Blogspot for most of the month.

The last three weeks have brought me some weight loss. So that's a down that makes me feel up! I have officially gotten back to my pre-move weight and lost another two pounds, putting me at 212.

For those of you who might be reading this who have only known me since college, this is probably smaller than you've seen me at before. Two pounds may not seem like much, but most of that came off this last week. I have reaffirmed that I can lose and WILL lose and am currently losing weight.

This is such a great feeling because on December 14th, my first true test comes. Going to see Nate and Chip in San Francisco is a huge motivator for getting down to 200 despite the holidays and weight gain that often comes with holiday food.

I fully plan on enjoying Thanksgiving - I'm cooking the turkey this year after all, but I absolutely will not allow myself to regress.

And boys, if you're reading this, you're gonna be wow'ed! The rest of you are, too. ;)
