It's been awhile.
I've been working/volunteering for two separate law offices two days a week. I LOVE IT. I enjoy learning more about the legal system, going to court, meeting with clients, researching law in the real world. I learn something new every day!
I'm also taking Appellate Advocacy right now- a required writing class. The next week and a half is going to be intense, focusing on getting my brief written and preparing for my oral argument. On the good side, I love my professor, and will be taking her again if I get the chance (she's an adjunct professor). Only 2 more weeks and the class will be over- and OH WOW do I have a lot to do. :)
And the rest of my time is with the new boyfriend. He makes me happy and makes me laugh and treats me so ridiculously well. I've never dated someone I was good friends with before... and it's such a wonderful transition from being good friends to being in a relationship. I feel like I've been glowing for the past seven weeks.
But on the other side...
my weight is out of control.
237.2. I know. 237?!?! That's up about 60 pounds.
SIXTY POUNDS.
And yeah... it's still down 46 pounds from my highest weight, which is great.
But I worked so hard for so long, and I've thrown that away this year.
And ummm.... I've been wearing a whole lot of dresses because none of my pants fit.
And I know it's from sitting around watching movies. From ordering the large popcorn with candy. From eating pizza and pasta and candy and ice cream and milkshakes and biscuits and brownies... It's from not being in the gym since before finals.
So here we go. Time to get busy, time to get serious, time to go back to Weight Watchers and back to the gym.
I've done it before, and I WILL do it again.
Wish me luck!

I find sometimes, when I am happy in love, I forget to be happy in myself. Sweetheart loves me fat or thin, but I need to not be fat for me and my health. Maybe you and your sweetheart can come up with some activities to do together that get the heart pumping... (insert dirty joke here).. seriously though!! Fun and fitness could be a good sequitur to a great relationship future!
Cheers,

Good luck with your new start - and hurray for a sweet new boyfriend who treats you well!
I'm so happy to hear about your new boyfriend! :) I hope he treats you as well as you deserve - and that you're doing the same for him.
Good luck in your quest to drop the weight - goodness knows we ALL need it! :)
Just found your blog and glad to see you back! Missa is right on the money. It's great your boyfriend treats you well, but don't let that be a substitute for treating yourself well. Since he's your best friend these days, be honest with him about your health goals. I'm sure he'd be happy to help!
Checking in, hope you've gotten your second wind on your journey to get fit! :)
