Been way too long

Ok. Down 26 pounds since I started this damn blog. I have another 24 pounds to go. Doing the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 plan really helped. Although, I must admit that after doing this for a while I have started to slack off. After a while, the shakes and bars start to get a little nauseating, and sushi, cheese, beer and wine start to look a lot more appetizing. But I try to remind myself that it's working as I ingest another bar for breakfast while I fantasize about turkey bacon and cheese on a garlic bagel. Works 70% of the time.

Labor Day weekend has just passed. Since I am down a good amount of weight, this summer was a lot more enjoyable than last. I actually threw on a bikini several times (though how good I looked in it, who knows). I bought a lot of sun dresses, which made my summer wardrobe extremely comfortable. Shopping was a lot more fun as well, although I probably spent more money than I should have. Bought my first skinny jeans in four years. Have to say I looked pretty darn cute in them.

I wish I had the motivation some of my friends do. They run for miles on a daily basis, and have strict vegan diets. They do look fabulous, I must admit. I wonder sometimes if I would be happy that way, giving up my favorite foods for a lifetime but looking amazing. I feel that I would be losing more than I would be gaining (or again, losing?). Truth is, as of right now, I love my cheese. And my sushi, beer and wine. And these are things I can only give up temporarily. I'd rather be a fat-ass than lose the simple pleasures in my life. If you are what you eat, than for the most part, I'm delicious!

Still waiting to move to Brooklyn. Still waiting on various music projects. Hopefully, moving to Brooklyn will give me more motivation to do the things in life I want to do. I'll be able to rest longer before and after a day of work in Manhattan. Never mind have more time to jam, to work out, to be happy.

Until next time. Hopefully the next coming months will have me in Brooklyn and down 30 pounds. A girl can dream, right?
