I’ve lost a bit of weight over the last few months. I know that 1) I was fat; and 2) people have noticed the weight loss because you wouldn’t believe all of the “you look like you’ve lost a lot of weight, what are you doing different?”

Well, the truth is, I haven’t been doing anything different unless you consider that I quit breakfast and most snacking and started smoking instead. It’s embarrassing. I had done so well not smoking. I hate the hack, oh and the risk of cancer. Not to mention the stench, the guilt and the social stigma… But, I do so love the weight loss. I wish there was a happy medium. I realize this is not a healthy or desirable solution.

The best part, I have to admit, is the new clothes. I was trying to avoid buying new clothes since I was afraid the weight loss is too good to be true and I really don’t have the extra funds. However, I can’t tell you how awesome it was to buy size 12 instead of size 18. Also, when my skirt literally fell off my body, not once but two times, one day in public, I realized there were no other options.

I took a new class at the gym today called Barre. It was crazy hard! I am so sore. It’s like a ballet meets yoga and Pilates.

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I posted! What a year it has been. Lost 25 pounds, started smoking again, finished the BMO program at the gym and re-found my love for swimming.

My goals for 2013 are to lose the last 15 pounds as re-quit smoking…

Stay tuned.

I know, I said this before…. started the 21 pounds today. I just feel like a big fat blob and I have to do something to get over it. I don’t know what my starting wieght is because I forgot to take it this morning, but I will do it tonight.

For the record, vitamins are spendy!

I decided to do the 17 day diet. Due to time constraints I can’t make it to the grocery store until this weekend.
