Photos
Boy, I need to take some full-body photos. I'm not a huge fan of them (which is why I have none!), but I'd like to compare these before-and-afters, and I have nothing to compare the after to! Just my face...

Check-in
Woooh! Down 33 lbs since New Year's Eve.
Stoked ^_^
My initial goal is to get back down to 230, and that's only 12 pounds away. And then it's hello, day at the spa!
I gotta be honest...I'm thoroughly amazed.
My long-term goal is actually starting to look achievable now:
275 to start.
242 now.
Lost 33 so far.
So if I lose the next 12 pounds...
That would put me at 230...
Then from 230, it's only another 20 pounds to 210...
Then from 210, it's only another 20 pounds 'til 190...
OMG these numbers are starting to make sense.
What should my overall treat be? I want it to be something HUGE, something that I wouldn't take for granted. Maybe I'll fly myself to New York...AH! I know! I'll fly myself to New York...for a Matisyahu concert! That'll do, pig. That'll do.
Now if I could just put a timeline with this...figure out when I would be likely to hit these points. I think I'll get to work on that. Keep you posted <3

Winding down
Pretty sweet mood, not gonna lie.
Got a 100% on a Chemistry exam today, which puts me at a solid A for the course ^_^ Sweeeet.
Had my appointment with my Doc today. Seriously cool guy. Very easy to talk to, don't have to elaborate on any symptoms or side-effects, nothing like that. So cool. The best thing, though, is that he's very result-oriented. He's a firm believer in a "whatever works" philosophy - which is great for me. He was absolutely stoked with my loss, and he wants to see how far I can go with Phen...which was totally unexpected, because most MDs don't like continuously shelling out the drugs to kids my age (for some reason, they seem to think we all get addicted easily). And he's gonna let me take a few months' supply when I go abroad next semester...Thankfully. Maybe then I won't look at the experience as a "vacation" on which I can go ahead and sabotage myself.
I cannot wait for the summer. Still gonna be crazy, though.
I'll be taking Microbiology: Monday - Thursday, 1-4
And in August (1-14ish), I'll be in New Hampshire. Every summer, Dartmouth College holds a "career camp" for high school students that want to go into health-related fields - I was accepted as a camp counselor. Which, let's face it, that will not look bad on my resume one bit.
And then I'll have the last two weeks of August and the first week of September to get my stuff together, and say goodbye to everybody before I ship off to Glasgow. Whoo, it's starting to look alot closer now

Just found this today.
The far right was me 4 years ago. I'd kill to have such a thin face again =(

Sweet deal.
Down a total of 26 pounds since January -- pretty stoked ^_^
Only 19 to go [by August....totally doable].
Those crazy Phen side-effects are almost non-existent, also, which is nice...except the energy boost at 1 a.m. which is also nice. I kind of like these midnight rampages.
My bedroom is almost completely clean (save the massive pile of laundry, the pile of papers on top of my dresser, and I still have to organize my closet....but other than that! ha). Oh, and I want to move my busted computer out sometime this week. Note. To. Self.
So way back at the beginning of the school year, I joined SNA (Student Nursing Association) and paid the $15 membership dues and all that...got a lovely little t-shirt. A little too little. I have never been able to wear it, because the largest size (2x) was always just a teensy bit too small for me.
Squeezed into it last week :-) Didn't look good, per se, but at least it went on. Haha.
This week, looked better. Still a bit tight across the chest.
School is absolutely nuts.
This week I have...
A Spanish presentation
A Spanish exam
An A&P lab practical
An Organic Chem exam
A Lifespan Dev. exam
And next week, finals in all four. Blehh...At least it's almost over.
At least I have a lot to look forward to this summer ^_^

Bloaty
Three cheers for my first blog post :-)
Even if the topic isn't a happy one, exactly.
I had my three-week weigh in since starting Phen...and while I lost about 11 pounds the first two weeks, I put one back on this past week. I'm thinking it's mostly water weight, though. I was so bloated yesterday, I couldn't even get my pants zipped!
And to top it off, my genius boyfriend (who, up to this point has been so supportive and excited for me) saw me trying to suck in my gut to get it to fit into said pants.....and he accidentally slipped up with a "Whoa, honey - have you been eating too much?"
SMACK.
Don't say that this time of the month, bucko.
