Hey everyone! Just letting you know I have kind of hopped blogs. If you are interested in still reading me please visit me at Passionate Crystal located here. I will still be talking about weight loss but the blog itself will not be a "weight loss blog." Thanks for all the support you have shown!
*Peaks around the corner* "Hello?" *Hearing self echo*
It's been 17 weeks since my last blog entry. I think it's time. The good news is I haven't gained weight back. I've pretty much stayed in between 242 and 245. I still track everyday and try to keep on plan. However, there are days when I have went off plan completely and did "my own thing" (translation: Pizza and cheetos and chips and ice cream). But I have maintained which is more than I can say for myself in the past. To be honest, I haven't proactively, seriously, consciously TRIED to lose weight. My main concern has been to not GAIN weight.
In other news, Michael and I decided in July that we are getting married in October. Well, let's be honest. I asked if October was okay, told him why I wanted to be married this year, and he say okay. It wasn't his idea but he's okay with it. We were going to wait until October 2010 but I just could not. So, here we are. I started planning as soon as I knew he was okay with it and have been planning ever since. I'm very excited and very nervous at the same time.
And seeing as I am not busy enough already, I've decided to try to blog again. I need to blog. I have missed it so much. For me, writing is my "happy pill." My way to make it better when everything is so wrong. Here I go.
Okay, so, this is the first time I have ever been tagged for anything. Mac Attack tagged me.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend. I know mine has been good but also a little stressful. Michael and I were supposed to close on a house Tuesday. Did I tell you we are buying a house? Well, I guess I may have mentioned it....nope..I guess I haven't. Well, we are buying a house. It's a cute three bedroom two bath ranch style house. I'll have to take pictures because it's already been removed from Realtor.com. At any rate, we were supposed to close on Tuesday but it looks like it might be later in the week. I haven't talked with the loan officer or my realtor this weekend. On Friday, it sounded like it would be later. So, we will see.
I have also started a new project. I am not sure how many of you are familiar with a forum. From the time I was 18 until I was 22, I was really involved in forums. I found them while searching for Harry Potter stuff on the internet. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and I created a forum for my obsession. Wizarding Realm was a forum I helped create. I'm no longer active there but the forum is still up and running. I'm still obsessed with Harry Potter but I'm really too old to be sitting around talking about Harry Potter all the time. But I digress. I have started another forum, my first one in around four years. Weighs to Lose is going to be a support forum for those trying to lose weight, maintain, or just become healthier. I am a member of other weight loss forum but they are BIG. Yes, I want this one to grow eventually but I need something a little smaller. Register if you are interested. I'll be posting updates about the forum from time to time on this blog.
I'm ready for this new week. It can't possibly be worse than the last one but you never know. I have my food planned out and still plan on sticking to drinking my water. I hope everyone has a good week.
This post is in regards to the comments left in this post.I DO NOT delete comments on a regular basis. I truly value everyone's opinion and advice. I have learned so much from fellow bloggers. Having said that, I say this. I will delete comments that are hurtful, nothing but advertisements, and especially if they advertise "quick fixes" and nonsensical products. Don't post those things here. Feel free to promote your PERSONAL blog, not a blog filled with advertisements or promoting the next new promise.
That is all.
The ability to leave comments was messed up or something. Not sure what I had cut off or turned on. Anywho, comments can be left now at any rate.
Okay, so I know this has nothing to do with weight loss but I was proud nonetheless. I figured out how to customize everything to match the background/template. I wanted a really nice springy background just to brighten things up but the font colors and whatnot were off the normal templates. Go me! Now everything matches. Small victories...gotta remember that.
