This is the coat I bought from Old Navy. Cute, right?!

So, a week from this moment, I will be in Springfield, Virginia with my best friend and I am SO excited!!!!! I can't believe its already almost here! Last night, work was OK. I may not actually have to go on Monday because I already did what I have to do then. So that would be great. I don't know if I'm going to quit anymore. The job really isn't that bad. I actually think I'm going to stick with it for a little longer. Anyways, the weight loss is really starting to slow down. I'm worried because I don't know the difference between slowing down/plateauing/metabolism shutdown. I don't think it would be my metabolism shutting down because-while i dont eat as much as Im supposed to (1600+) I do eat (1200-1500 cals) so I don't think its that. Maybe I really am just slowing down. I'm about to hide my scale too because if I'm going to drive myself nuts weighing myself every day while i'm slowing down. I also have been fairly lenient with my logging. i've been logging, but kinda just with an "I'll get to it when I get to it" attitude. I need to be more disciplined with it.

I am going to go exchange my coat for a black XXL. I think that-while the XL will fit one day that a coat is one of those things you can get away with being a little big. Besides, I can't keep up a cream colored coat! I make too much of a mess. Or maybe I'll get the checkered one...that one was pretty cute too. I dunno we'll see. I need to go work out before I go to Old Navy again anyways. Also, I'm getting this white tee with music notes on it. SO CUTE! I can't wait to go back to Cleveland and see my mom. I really want to go to my old job and see my old co-workers so they can see how different I look.

Lately, a lot of ppl have been asking me, "how did you do it?" And I've been puzzled! I don't know what to say! I'm like, uh, I guess I just eat better and exercise. I wish I had a cooler answer than that. When I tell people I've lost 40lbs, it just doesn't seem like a lot to me. Maybe it is. I'd rather say I've lost 50. Oh well, 8.6 more to go!

I really need to get my nails done. My hands are all cut up from working in this damn stock room. Its so unsexy. I hope I get to see my exboyfriend when I go to VA. His mom hasn't called me back to tell me if he'll/she'll be there. I still talk to his mom. She loves me. LoL I can't wait for this week to be over!! I can't wait.

I know I'm like 5 minutes late, but here are some random facts you may not know about me (all the cool kids are doing it):
*I'm the oldest, and I have twin brothers that are 11 months younger than me
-I get along with the younger twin better than the older
*I played basketball for 14 years, was team captain in HS, 2 of which I played in college
*My best friend in the whole world was my Golden Retriever, BoBo (yep, I named him) who passed away my senior year in HS
*My parents are getting divorced after 23 years of marriage
*I lost to my best friend for the "Funniest Female" Superlative in high school
*I'm left handed
*I LOVE Spongebob, but i would trade the 90s cartoons (Doug, Pepper Ann, Bobby's World, The Wacky World of Tex Avery, etc.) for Spongebob anyday

So, I just talked to my ex-bf's mom (yes, we still keep in touch) and she gave me his number. It's weird, I don't know if I still have feelings for him or if its just the first love curse or what. No matter how much we went through, I still care about him in this crazy way. She was telling me about him and his new "girl" and she sounds like a complete dud. She was like, "Terry needs to be with you, because you had goals and aspirations. He needs that". And it made me think, why do I always date these people who have potential, but don't quite know how to get to it or act on it. I always seem to get the "projects". I don't think you can change a person, but I think you can help them evolve. I don't know. I hope I get a chance to talk to him tonight. I really miss him and I just want to know that he's doing well and that he's surviving. I don't know if I'm going to work out today. I really just feel like hanging around, mayble cleaning a little and playing dress up - oh, and going to old navy. I'm borderline obsessed.

SO! I just got off the phone with my ex-boyfriend whom I dated throughout highschool and middle school and it was a wonderful conversation. I don't know, I am smiling. I really feel like he's grown up and - while he is still a project - is a totally different person. He was so sweet. It's weird because as soon as we started talking it was like nothing has changed. I really hope we can keep in touch and maybe something will even grow from this because I think that our bond is priceless. He said that he may come up to OH to visit me and just reconnect and that would be amazing.

I just got back from the mall and I exchanged my cream coat for the black coat AND i got an XXL instead of XL. It actually fits a little snug too (the XL was way too small) so I am definitely satisfied. JCPenney had the CUTEST button up shirt, but I decided I'd wait til next week to buy it when I get paid from Aldo. I've been trying to describe my style lately, and the only thing I can think of is Librarian Chic. LoL It's actually more like a business professional mixed with a Librarian mixed with Razzle Dazzle. LoL I'm crazy. I've ate like crap at the mall and it made me so angry. I don't know why I ate it. Sometimes, a little bit of a good thing is way better than a lot. I had 1/2bourbon chicken & 1/2orange chicken. I would've been perfectly satisfied if I had only ate bourbon chicken, OR if I would've just brought the stinkin food home and weighed it and split it into portions. But whatev, you'll do stupid stuff sometimes. Spongebob is on and Spongebob makes me happy. LoL I'm such a dork. But I am a diehard spongebob fan. I should have put that in my facts.
