Weight-loss win, blogging fail

I have now lost approximately 15lbs since my January 1 start.

Official weight @ 05/11/2012: 201.6 lbs


Thanks to being on my death bed and consuming nothing but water 5/6 - 5/9, I lost nearly 4 pounds in a week. I'm sure this coming weekend when I step back on the scale that will have come back up a bit, but that is expected. As of right now, I'll take my 15lbs-loss mark!

So far I have been awful at my "blog more consistently" goal for May. I feel like I haven't had much to blog about in the way of health/fitness since I destroyed my foot and then had the Plague (otherwise known as Strep Throat). I'm starting to feel like I can't catch a freakin' break, but I don't want to just bitch and complain on my blog all the time.

I'm going to say something here, but I'm not trying to get anyone to "keep me to it" or anything, because if I feel like I'm forcing it on myself - or anyone else "expects" it of me, it's not going to work... I think I'm quitting smoking. I've only had 2 cigarettes since Saturday May 5th. I'm not "trying" to quit, I just haven't really wanted to smoke. And that's great, and I'm excited about it - but I'm trying to just not even think about it too much because I know as soon as I do I'll go right back to it just to spite myself. I'm sure I've jinxed myself by saying anything about it on here. We'll see. Just.. pray for me. lol

My experiment in "doing what feels natural" hasn't gotten very far thanks to injury and sickness. So, I guess what's felt natural lately is not exercising. Truth be told, I'm a little terrified to get back in the gym. I'm afraid that my immune system is shot and I'm going to get sick again. I can't afford it - both in a financial/work sense and a psychological sense.

That's really all I have to update on. You'll hopefully be hearing more from me soon!
