"As Miss Golightly was saying before she was most rudely interrupted... "

I found measurements that I took back in August, and the ones I have today are exactly the same. 40, 34, 40. It's slightly disheartening but at the same time I have to remember that I was about the same weight at the time. I have been up and down a little since then. This blog is a clean slate. I cannot count everything else. I have to try to look towards the future and meet my small goals. I have not weighed in since the 163 starting point with my first entry. Tomorrow mornings Wii fit session will be the first big show down. I'm slightly nervous since I didn't exercise as much as I would have liked to. I did stick to a healthy diet and watch my calorie intake so there may be hope.

Exercise is harder to fit in during a stress filled week. In addition to the man not feeling well this week; work has been extremely stressful lately. Let's not even talk about it.

Did I tell you that I figured out my first reward? At the party I was at last week this girl had amazing boots on. I will have those boots when I lose ten pounds. I would put them as a five pound reward but I'm also trying to curb my spending habits.
I have added the picture to the side of my page.

They shall be mine, oh yes, they shall be mine.

It's good to have a goal.

I went to Hannafords today which is quickly becoming my favorite grocery store. I have been advised that unsalted nuts like almonds and walnuts are good for you in small quantities and contain "good fat". I can dig a few almonds but as Jerry Seinfeld would say "Nuts are expensive, what's up with that?" I didn't understand his humor until my mid twenties, but I digress. At Hannafords you can weigh your own nuts and granola and you print out the label for them right there so you know exactly how much you're spending. Neat! They also have extremely fresh produce and they tell you the best way to use everything on the little signs. I'm not a great cook so I appreciate this. I wish Hannafords all the luck in the world and hope they always stay as lovely as the one I go to. I do not like the frosting on their cakes, that's the only downfall. Luckily I'm not eating a lot of frosting right now so I can forgive them. ;)

Share time!

As you might have guessed the fictional characters I relate to most are Holly Golightly and Amelie. I'm not sure if they are similar to a jaded image of myself from years of distorted self awareness or if I actually have a little piece of each of them in me. I could go on about this for hours. My question to you is, do you relate yourself to a fictional character?

My health related question is: has anyone tried boxing? Work gives me a lot of aggression to get out and I'm thinking about taking it up. I don't want to hit people just a lot of punching bags. Who wants to play with me?

Love you,
