Keep On Rolling

There's only three rolls of toilet paper left in the restroom, the truck has a tiny bit of gas, and the pantry is empty. So, why am I not out shopping? Well... maybe I neglected all of these things in favor of something really super awesome: an acoustic guitar. The really important bills are paid anyway, and I can always walk to work and borrow toilet paper... as for the pantry, I really don't care. I have a guitar.

After an hour and a half of looking for something I could actually afford, I finally found one for $70. It was missing a string, so I stopped by a music shop and they rigged me up a new string for only $1! I also got some awesome deals on repairs that my guitar needs... oh, and a free guitar case with all kinds of padding and pockets. I'd call it a total win. :)

I think I need to start keeping an actual food diary. I've been good lately, staying under 300 cals and keeping active, but I miss having thorough data to analyze. I enjoy looking for similarities between my diet and weight loss... like, "oh, I ate a 400 cal cheeseburger that day, no wonder I didn't lose anything for two days." I originally thought I would be able to keep track of that here, but lately I haven't been able to update regularly. Finding a diary would be no problem; I just need to think of where to hide it. Hmmm.

My abdominal muscles are beginning to peek through the fat. Even at my lowest weight, I never saw that particular definition. Also, my butt has no more nasty fat dimples, and my back is relatively flat and smooth. I am so pumped to reach my next goal weight - almost halfway there! :D

The husband's been on a little diet of his own lately; I'm glad that I can be an inspiration for so many people. But please remember, my main goal is to be thin and healthy... I don't want to motivate anybody into a coma or heart attack. I understand the feeling of wanting to be hospitalized, to be validated, but I really don't want to see any of you lovely ladies end up there.

Thanks for all the support and encouraging comments. I appreciate having people congratulate me on my self-improvement, without wagging their fingers at me for how I did it. You all rock.
