Just keep swimming... just keep swimming...

I feel like "just keep swimming.." is an appropriate name for this post.
I LOVE the attention and encouragement I am getting from everyone around me with this whole weight loss thing-- it might be a huge part of the motivation that is keeping me moving.

Of course I keep myself moving, and I never want to be 234 pounds ever again-- but some days its harder to stay away from the sweets than other days.

My first goal is 200 pounds. I weighed myself today on my house scale 209. When I am at my apartment I am 210-215. At the gym 211 and at work 212. I am thinking I should just add them up, then divide by 4 and get the average ;)

It averages to 211, just as I suspected. I never know which ones to trust.... seems the work, gym, and home scales usually are the same, and the apartment scale is off. Let's hope so.

So 11 more pounds to loose until I reach 200. Trying to reach that goal before christmas (I want to show my family that I can do it--- rub it in their faces a little bit)

So this is my plan:
since I lost my school I.D. I need to buy a new one-- so then I will go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week (since I actually had to spend money for a new I.D. if thats the case),

and when I am hungry I am going to drink a glass of water or two, then wait 15 minutes to see if I am still hungry.

(Thirst disguises itself as hunger, that dirty hoe.)
