Well, look who's back! It's been well over a year since I last posted and as much as I'd love to say that I am a little tiny thing, I am far from it. I'm actually heavier than when I began CC back in July of 2006. 163! It's horrific, I know. In the past year, I've made so many half-ass attempts at losing the weight that it's really actually embarrassing. I should've come back to CC long ago, but for the past year, other than at work, I didn't have regular access to a computer, and they monitor all our usage at work, so it was hard to come back here. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

So what's new with me? Two months after I started my new job as assistant editor I was promoted to Managing Editor. I'm now in charge of 6 different magazines, one that comes out six times a year, two that come out four times, one that comes out twice, and two that come out annually. So, I'm a very busy lady. I love my job, but I know that's what's made me gain weight. I'm so busy that I don't have a lot of time to pay attention to what I eat. Not to mention that for a year, we didn't have a lunch room to eat in, so most of us got used to eating out. Now we've moved and have one, but it's hard to get out of the habit of eating out.

Anything else new? Well, I'm still with Kevin and we'll be moving in together at the end of summer. He has turned me into quite the foodie, and that makes it hard to lose weight too.

And one thing hasn't changed--I still hate to work out. Hate it. There was a month that I worked out five days a week the entire month, and then I got sick and I've had such a hard time going back since then. As much as I hate it though, I'm about to get dressed to go. Sigh.

So, hi everyone that's still on here! I hope you are all doing well! I didn't forget about you!
