I'm Backkkkkk

Wow. I suck, kidding. It's been almost another year since I have written on this. And honestly I am looking forward to getting back to it!

First, it always makes a girl feel good to discuss weight. Okay, only the girls that have lost enough to build another human. So I am currently down to 167 pounds. For those of you who are curious I went into surgery at 312 (that was my largest). And for those of you a little slow on the numbers scale....{drumroll please} that's a total of 146 pounds, 2336 ounces, 66.22 kilograms, 649.44 newton’s. I am 11 pounds from weighing half of what I did on November 18, 2009.

Second, we shall review the WOW moments. For those of you who may be unaware of what a WOW moment is.... "Wow Moments, are the small things in life that in simpler terms—wow us. Possible things I couldn’t do before, didn’t want to do before, or hadn’t thought of doing before. I made a list of some things I wanted to do. I wrote it down, kept some in my head but never verbalized them for the world to see.
- Cross my legs
- Wrap my arms around myself
- See my collar bones
- Wear a dress without spanx
- Sit in a desk at school without having to suck in
- Sit in a desk at school and text in my lap
- Adjust my steering wheel and seat
- Buckle my seat belt on an airplane with no problems
- Be called beautiful, gorgeous or pretty because they mean it
- Wear shorts/skirts again
- Touch my toes again
- Go jogging
- Run 3 miles
- See my cheek bones
- See my hipbones
- Be down to a size I never remember wearing or buying
- Go on every roller coaster in a theme park
- [edit. I realized I am afraid of roller coasters, this may take longer than expected ]
- Go to a water park and ride every slide
- Be comfortable with my body
- See the number 230
- See the number 275
- See the number 250
- See the number 225
- See the number 200
- See the number 175
- See the number 150
- See the number 130

Third, eating is still hard. However I am able to snack more and college is kicking my ass when it comes to this. With a little over a month left of my undergraduate college career I have decided that I shall share that experience with you as well as create a food diary. They always say to write it down! So that's what I am going to do.

Fourth, lets update the world [ie. everyone who doesn't read this] what has been going on in my world....
A) I worked last summer as a Residential Assistant/Activities Coordinator for a camp that brought international students ages 12-17 to the USA to learn English. I will be going back this summer as the Summer Program Director and could not be happier.
B) I have decided to pursue graduate school; I am applying to three schools in hopes of starting this fall.
C) I will be moving back to Massachusetts after being gone for four years in order to complete B.
D) I found, met, dated and am head over heels for the man of my dreams. I am so looking forward to moving in with him in September after this summer program in completed.
E) I am looking forward to starting a real "adult" life complete with dinners on a real stove, community activities and regular fitness.

I am off. Look forward to posting more often.

Peace. Love. & TheFuture.
