Trials

My god, what a year.

Lots of things have happened since I last wrote in here. My house flooded at the beginning of May, leading to 2 months of chaos while everything was being moved around and repairs were being made. I had just gotten everything back into place (well, as much as possible, considering I was moving soon), when I discovered that I was pregnant. Jacob and I had just gotten excited about it, when I started to have problems, and ultimately I miscarried around early August.  Then, around mid-August, we moved to Atlanta...well, technically Decatur, but still part of the Atlanta metropolis.

So, needless to say...I have not lost any weight.

My plan was to immediately start exercising when we got here...but that has not happened.  In fact, all I have done is GAIN weight since we got here..this morning I'm at 181.4!  UGH!  I don't think that's a true number...I ate really late last night, and I was out with Jacob and friends drinking a lot of beer, so I think I'm both retaining a lot of water and still showing some weight from my late night snack.  I've been vacillating between 182 and 175 since we've been here, so I'm confident that it will go back down tomorrow.  But STILL...that 181 is really getting to me this morning.

I need to get my ass in gear.  I have had excuses since I got here...first we were unpacking, then I was on my cycle, and then I got a really bad head cold that turned into a chest thing.  I'm actually still coughing, but I'm ignoring that because I need to lose some fucking weight.

SO...a plan.  I need a plan, and goals.  As per usual, I will put those in a new entry after this one.  I'm in a new place, I'm eating at home more often, it's September and the weather is lovely, and Jacob and I have talked about getting married sometime in the next year or so...so I have lots of motivation, and lots of things working for me right now.  Let's do this thing!
