Hmmmm....

This weekend, I ate anything I wanted becuase it was a special occasion. I have been doing a Nutrisystem diet since February. I was 230 when I started. I am now 179. The odd thing is that regardless of what I eat now, I lose weight as long as I am staying in a certain range of calories. For a while I was stuck, so I took a week at 1000 or less calories each day, and then I moved up to more. I need to eat at least 1200 for me to be satisfied.

Oddly, the last thing I was expecting this week was weightloss. I have lost 3 lbs. Cool by me! I am working really hard to get to my goal by Labor Day weekend. I still have 26 to go. I don't even feel much thinner. I mean, I can obviously get into a smaller size after losing 51 lbs but I don't feel like I am less fat. When I look in the mirror I see the same frumpy chick I was before. Other people notice and they make such a deal sometimes that I feel like a freak show. OR I was a freak show before, now I can just blend in.

Aside from this, I am just getting my house cleaned up, the yard finished, work on my photography and my soap stuff sent out. I am 3 weeks behind on orders, so I need to get my butt in gear. Only 6 months until the busy season, and I have already been busy. I have no idea what to expect! I want to have time for my photography, but currently, I can only set aside a small bit of time for it.
