So I reached my goal weight a couple months ago and it has been soooooooo nice to be able to go shopping and pick out clothes again! I don't have to worry about picking up a shirt and trying it on, only to need a larger size. In fact, I end up taking two sizes in the fitting room and end up needing the smaller one. I am able to wear size 4 jeans comfortably and I tried on a pair of Silvers the other day that were a 27. YAY! Big accomplishment for me.

Anyway, finals came and went and I have been pretty busy this Summer working about 40 hours a week and taking classes, so I haven't really had any interest in watching what I ate or exercising. Luckily a friend of mine is pretty good about asking me to go run with him and that has gotten a couple other people interested too. It a lot easier for me to walk or run a couple of miles when it's a social thing rather than an exercise thing.

I broke up with my boyfriend of 3.5 years because I felt like we were moving in different directions, and to be honest we really had no similar interests anymore. I think the only real thing we had in common was our relationship, which was good for the most part, but I don't think that's enough to make something work. Anyway, it was a little harder for him than for me, and he is still kinda clingy, but I think this will be motivation for him to get his butt in gear and do something with himself.

Basically, I have met this new guy already (oops) and he is pretty nice but he knows about my ex and we are taking everything super slow and just hanging out with a group of friends and trying to get to know each other before we really get into anything. I'm not ready for anything serious right now and he knows that, so that is good. I'm excited though :)

Anyway, the point of the update is that somehow, after breaking up with Devin, I lost like three pounds and that has motivated me to start again. I think it's mostly because I've been more active with my friends again, and I think part of it is that I moved into my own apartment off campus and far enough away from campus that food is a little harder to come by. :)

So here's to another 8 pounds and a new goal of 125. :)
