Getting Back in the Groove

So to back track just a little bit, some or you may remember this post, in which I lament how things pretty much suck, my self control is gone, and I had gained like 8 pounds in 6 days. Then I left for my 3 week trip.

When I left for the trip I weighed in at 208.8 I think, having weighed 198.8 just a mere week before. So I was pretty depressed. However, as you may or may not know, I am the pickiest eater on the planet. So there was not a lot of calorie consumption while in Europe and there was a hell of a lot of walking. So eating less and moving more, gave me this weight when I got back!

195.5 baby! Woot!

I was pretty happy with that. I hadn't lost that much since the beginning of my surgery. It was very exciting. However, being back in the states with the foods I love so much did give me a bit of a gain and I was up to 197 something in a week. So, now I am back to basics. I am counting calories again and working out 5 - 6 times a week. I have come back down to 196.5 and feel like I can get to 195.5 by Sunday.

I am also back at work so my routine is back on track and I am feeling much more in control. One of my principal friends works on a campus near mine and there just happens to be a gym in between us. So for the last two weeks we have been meeting up there 4 days a week, working out, and then getting ready at the gym and heading to school. It is weird. I feel like I am living in a dorm. :)

And since I haven't shared any new outfits with you guys in a while, here is my first day back outfit! I found the top when I was in Edinburgh and didn't realize until I got home that it was a maternity top. Oh well!

And after the wonderful write up over on the BOOBS site, I just had to post these for Draz. Some of my newest acquisitions.

I will be wearing the gold ones on the first day of school! I can't wait!

I would also like to welcome all of my new followers! Please let me know if I am not following you and I will rememdy that asap. I think I caught most of you but I may have missed some.

Hope everyone has a great week and for those of you who are suffereing through the 100+ temps with me, stay cool and stick your bra and undies in the fridge for 30 minutes before you go out....it helps!
