I haven’t weighed myself lately but I’m down 2 pant sizes!  I’m thrilled.  My goal is 2-4 more by my birthday (May 26).  I’m slacking a little on the food thing because I’m in the middle of a project but I’m trying really hard not to starve myself (my usual MO.)  I’m also a little under the weather.. going on two months now.  I hope I just need another detox or something… maybe more food and sleep, lol.  I finally got my o2 delivered. yay!  I haven’t used it much yet but I’ve been doing breathing exercises to counteract the way I’m feeling.  I’m also sending myself reminders on my cell from www.backpackit.com.  I usually ignore them (yearbook season I’m notorious bad this time of year), but at least it gives me a twinge of guilt that motivates me to eat if I haven’t had breakfast or a snack by the time my lunch alarm goes off.

I’ve been dancing again and alternating it with my gazelle freestyle, weight training and walking throughout the day.  I’m sure to do at least one, even if I don’t feel too great.  I’m also drinking muscle milk when I don’t feel like eating (I know it’s a gainer but I never get enough calories anyway.)  It works great, except when I take my meds.. I’m not sure I have the energy to eat real food every morning, just for the sake of taking vitamins and pills, but it seems like my body has decided to enforce it!  The oxygen will help all the way around.

I’m also measuring myself and monitoring improvements in my health instead of weighing all the time.  I prefer looking nice and being healthy (a mojor plus for me) to obsessing about how much I weigh.  Assumedly better health habits will lead to being thinner.  They certainly can’t hurt.
