Another crazy week gone by. I think my weight is still right around 135, which is cool with me. I need to get back to the gym this week. This shouldn't be too much of a problem, since I think the craziness is dying down enough. We shall see.
My trip to Chicago was ok. I was there for our national sales conference, which usually means great food and drinks. Not this time. The food was actually on the bad side. It was a little disappointing, but I guess it was probably better this way...way easier to keep the eating under control. I thought I was doing really well, but I was sitting next to this tiny girl who liked to snack a lot. The problem was that she kept sharing all her snacks with me :( It was sweet of her really, but I have little self-control sometimes...especially when I'm sitting through boring speakers.
I saw one of my associates that I haven't seen since June, and she said, "Wow, you have lost a TON of weight." Now, this isn't actually true. I don't even think I've lost any weight at all...of course, I've lost a ton of body fat though...probably around 5%. These are the moments when you so know that the number on the scale can be so irrelevant to the way you look. Fitness is so key. I'm so glad I've taken the time to invest in my fitness rather than just restricting my calories and worrying about losing pounds.
So, since I've been back from Chicago...I've eaten...well...less than stellar. Back to the old routine tomorrow.
I don't think I've blogged yet about meeting all the Michigan F.A.T. folks. What a great time with some great people. I so can't wait till the next event...probably at my house in January. Plan on it.
Trying to get motivated!

Im so glad that you realize weight loss and fat loss are two completely different things. Im really happy for you- it truly isnt easy to lose body fat while gaining lean mass- you've done a great job. i do hope you manage to tear it up in the gym this week- you're well on your way to that dream bod.
glad things are getting back to normal for you Kristen. Does that mean you will start blogging more too???( I miss your posts). Thats a great compliment you got from you friend and a loss of 5% of BF is no joke. Take care and happy holidays.
You know I'll be there with bells on. Ok, I'm not sure about the bells, but I'll be there.
Maybe in coolats. Is that how you spell it again? =)
I like your idea of simply posting a few brief words and thoughts as opposed to waiting for the perfect time to "get everything down on paper" (or in this case in type). It's hard to do when life is acting normal, but pile on the work stress you have plus the time of year...yikes.
Congrats on your progress Kristen. Rip is right, 5% is huge (in a good way).
Nice to hear from you Kristen. Gene took the words out of my mouth as simple as they may be - congratulations on your progress!
