156.4

NYC in a little over a week! I think 5lb is definitely doable by then, if not more (I'm hoping for more). I'm seeing almost all of my friends from school, and I just found out last night that a certain former formal date (call him P) will be there that weekend, and he wants to meet up. So good things. I will feel much better if I can get down to 150 by then; it's admittedly still an atrocious weight, but it'll be 10lb lighter than I was when I met him. I know, I know-- I had some serious bingeing problems that started in Italy and carried on through most of last semester. I'm trying to lose weight a little more healthily now; I don't want to get back into the binge habits after barely eating all summer.

Anyway, my weight/scale is wierd as SHIT lately-- I went up two pounds after Friday, and then came back down. But I still feel good (ish). Ran another 4.5 miles yesterday, and today I ran around 3 miles and I'm about to head to the gym with my brother to beast on the rowing machine and treadmill for an hour or two. I'm not focusing so much on calories or counting every last thing I eat; I am picking low-calorie options, I'm just not depriving myself like I used to. And I'm exercising much more than I have been over the last semester. Weight isn't falling off, per say, but it's a steady decline, and I'm okay with that.

But I do need to lose 5+ lb. in the next week. Let's aim for anything under 150, ready GO.

EDIT: Okay so I lied I might still be counting calories. I had an engrish muffin (150), coffee (10 w/bit of soy), some blueberries (uhh...35??), and a protein bar (180). And I kicked my big fat butt at the gym as far as weights were concerned-- I cannot lift my arms without pain. Most excellent.
