The Sweetness of Success

[thedarksiren2]

Of course, I never wake up when I am supposed to. That's just how Dawndom works. If it's not important to anyone but me, and then it has to be HUGELY important to me, then I don't get up. My body goes, "mmnope. nuh-uh. Yer sleepin' 'n dreamin', toots!"

And so I dream.

I cannot remember my dreams this morning. It's 10:15AM, and I woke 15 minutes too late to make my Discovery Weigh-out at Bally's in Westlake. Such is life.

I remember a dream I had a few months ago though, which is why I did what I do every Saturday and weighed myself at home. Back on January 10th, I set a goal to lose the 25lbs I gained last year.

As of today, I have lost 27 lbs.

I am so fucking giddy right now I can barely contain myself!!!

My goal now is to lose another 27 lbs. in the next three months. It's not as easy as the original weight loss, as anyone who has tried knows. The first ten pounds is always mostly water weight in any weight-loss deal. I am likely going to skip weighing myself weekly and go bi-weekly anymore, as it seems more satisfying. Oh, and how I ADORE the tape-measure! It doesn't lie, like the scales can, although I have continued to use one scale, a brand-spanking new one here in Jawndomay, so mine is at least consistent, if nothing else. Also, my clothes don't lie...I put on a pair of jeans yesterday (OMG this sounds so cliche it hurts! HA! HA!) that, back in December, I could not button so I would tuck it in instead. Yesterday, they were loose-fitting and somewhat baggy.

Wow...just wow.

I am such a smiley Dawn Dawn today!
bounces all over the place!*

You're looking pretty good lately, I have to say. Not that you've ever looked bad, but it does make a difference.

Congratulations on a goal surpassed. Next time you're at Bally's in Westlake and finish up there, you should come to the Web of Life to refuel at the cafe. Not only are fitness and our foods compatible, but I think I heard a rumor about some kind of minor cross-promotion happening in the near future. Meaning, I think you might get a coupon from us if you work out at Bally's. At least, that's my guess.

For all the people I know on health kicks as of late, none of them ever come visit me at the health food store. Except Android, but I don't know if he's on any kind of kick. If I buy you lunch, it's 50% off.

well, I don't generally go to the one in Westlake, that's just the one that we had to go to when we weighed in and out for the Discovery Fitness Challenge thing. If I am out that way though, I will totally drop in! Your deals sound rather enticing!~8)
