Back again. Again.

So, I have been meaning to start writing again and I am hoping to keep this up. Only time will tell. So for those of you (my 2 readers) who don't know I moved about a month ago. Yes, I know. Again. I figured out that I have moved an average of once a year for the last 5 years. I have to say that I am getting really tired of moving. I will say that most of my moves have been initiated because of roommate changes. So, this time I am living alone. I think that as I get older I just need to have my own space. I have never lived alone and I must say I love it. I am so happy to finally have my own space and I love my new apartment. That said, I hate moving. It is such a pain in the ass. I am still trying to unpack and it is certainly slow going.

I am starting to hit panic mode with lab. I have quite a bit of research to do before the summer. I am trying really hard to finish up by May 2012. I feel like I am so close but still so far. I am a little scared at finishing up here and moving somewhere new, a new city and a new lab. The "real world" is rapidly approaching and it is a little daunting. I am excited too but I am also scared.

As far as the weight loss is going, I am still going. I have lost 39.4 lbs in 7.5 months. It is not a great record of loss but I need to remind myself that 40 lbs is a significant amount of weight. I have also never stuck with a plan like this for so long. I am feeling confident that I can keep moving forward and I am trying really hard to stay positive and stay motivated. Unfortunately it has been a very stressful couple of months and I have succumbed to stress eating. However, I have not used that as an excuse to completely give up. I continue to lose at least a little weight every week and I feel like soon I will ramp back up to tracking all the time and getting an exercise plan in place.

So, stay tuned.
