Hello all you yummy noms!
Brains melting in this summer heat? I could make some brain stew... or maybe a smoothie. ;)
Summer 2013 has started out as one damn fine summer. Went camping Memorial weekend with some of my best friends. It was filled with sleeping, sunning, and boozing.
The next weekend, on Saturday, was my best friend's little sister's wedding. I got to see my best friend (that lives in Connecticut). I only get to see her once a year if we are lucky. Needless to say, that was pretty great. That night I stopped by my friend's house to pick up a t-shirt I had left behind. A large group of us ended up going out to eat, then doing a little drinking after. So, more good times were had.
Last weekend I was just lazy and did nothing. It was amazing. I love those weekends.
Now we are up to the present and feeling kind of like a goddess... some of those reasons I can't mention here... needless to say those reasons are AMAZING! (Sorry to leave you guessing, but a girl has to keep a few secrets.) I went to the gym tonight. It made me feel pretty awesome. My trainer told me he saw me running on the treadmill and thought "Damn, Hanna is looking skinny." Do you know the last time somebody said I look skinny? No? Neither do I. This month marks the third year in my journey through weight loss. I have lost 45 pounds. However, every time I weigh at the gym it goes up. However, I am not discouraged! Since April, my percentage of body fat has gone down by 4% and my BMI is under 30. This means I am no longer classified as "obese", just "overweight". I am so excited to be overweight! I just want to encourage everybody not to lose hope. I almost did. After all, it has been 3 years and I am still not at goal. It's a great feeling, though, to have gone from hearing "you really need to lose weight" all the time to hearing "wow, you are looking so good. Still losing weight? You can really tell. You're looking good". That is what keeps me going... that and one day being able to show it off to all the people who ever doubted me or turned me down. :P
Much love,
-Hanna Mae
