New goal...
So after some reflecting on people's comments (thank-you for sharing your thoughts), I have changed my goal to my original ww's goal. I think I'm 9.4 now but I am happy to work slowly back to 8.12. I figure I'll work on staying there for a while and depending on how I feel after maintaining (at 8.12) for a while, I'll reconsider my goals at that point.
I also wanted to send a *big* shout out to gaijingirl who has not only reached her healthy BMI (you *go* girl) which means she has lost over 100 lbs (and I have struggled with only 30, so can only imagine how incredibly awesome she must feel) - but has also finished her exams!! Wooohoooo!
In my own world, things are ticking along and I've been busy with work and life. I haven't been blogging much, I think because the whole weight loss thing has taken more of a back burner in my mind. However, I am planning to quit smoking (omg - very scary) in 5 days so I imagine this will renew my concentration because I will be needing to do a whole assortment of distraction techniques in order to become smoke free.
I hope everyone is happy and doing well!!
big hugs,
