Maintaining

I've actually put a deadline on whatever this is I'm doing. I've decided to 'maintain' until I go back to work. At some point, it became too hard to be motivated to lose while having no schedule to speak of. I go back to work on August 6, so some time around then, I'll be back on a schedule.
I'm kind of excited to get back to school ... but, I also like laying around the house all day. Alas, what's a girl to do?

Thanks so much for everyone's kind words. I've been lurking and reading about you too. It means a lot to me that people out there want to make sure I'm doing okay. Hey! I've lost 50+ pounds. I have at least that much to go. I'm not going anywhere! Plus, I already donated the fall/winter clothes that I was fitting into so I have to go down at least one more size before it gets cold (thankfully, I live in Georgia where it won't get too cold too often). But still, I currently have about three outfits that will fit come November. You know I have to get my ass moving soon, because I'm not a fashion plate, but I do teach 8th grade. You can't stand to hear too many of this: "Ms. Hither, didn't you wear that on Tuesday already?" Kids may not study, but they notice everything --- when I get my hair cut, when I wear sandals without my toes polished, when I didn't sleep well. Everything.

Anyway, thanks for being here for me. I'm still here for you ... but on the sidelines for another week or so.
