The 8th pound of Christmas!! No recipe yet though :(

Hello again!! I was just reminded by my lovely friend Krista that I stink at updating this, and because I'm trying to procrastinate doing my homework, I decided to update!

So, as you can see, I've lost another pound... well, really, its 1.4 pounds! And recently, its been a bit more! I finally am sure that I'm not gonna add a ton of weight when I tend to binge eat, and that this weight loss is for real! I'm really gonna have to hit the gym hard though, and really watch what I'm eating, if I want to lose the 4 lbs I have left before Christmas!

Because... one of my favorite holidays is coming up! The most gluttonous holiday of all, Thanksgiving! My Thanksgiving morning this year will start off with a 5k run on the beach (usually I do the 1 mile, but hey, why not step it up?), then coming home and lounging around watching the Macy's Day Parade, and then going and laying out by the pool before dinner. A tough life, right? Dinner will include lots of turkey skin (my favorite part), turkey, Brittany's and my famous mashed potatoes, noodles, green beans, spaghetti squash, Betsy's famous cinnamon rolls, and everything covered in gravy. Go big or go home! Then I'll have to really work it all off during finals week, which is ok, because I'm buying myself a new pair of running shoes next week with my tax refund checks! Thanks, US government!

You guys should also know that, in the process of becoming a brand new person, I dyed my hair BROWN! I've NEVER had brown hair, but I decided to do it... I guess my hair is naturally brown (who knew? i was always out in the sun so it was always lightened). And these past few days have been the first days I've finally been used to it! I had been feeling like I was wearing a wig, that it wasn't me... but I think it makes me look a lot older and prettier :) its always good to do something crazy!

Ok, well, I'm deciding its time for bed. Get to sleep in an hour tomorrow, too! Hurray!

Current weight: 194.2 lbs.
Weight loss to date: 8.4 lbs.

Goodnight everyone!
