A year and something later...

So yeah, it has been too long! Almost a year has passed since my last update and as far as my weight goes, I'm doing TERRIBLE! My mood hasn't been great, but I've been eating better. I think to myself, why have I been gaining weight when my lunches and calorie intake has seemed to be lower than ever? Well this year I moved and I now have access to a Keurig machine and that thing makes individual cups of coffee... that I like to sugar and cream until it doesn't really resemble coffee anymore.

ohhai. Theres the calories. While I've significantly dropped the caloric intake on my meals I've increased my sugar several fold. I'm also not really exercising as much as I should. I've been to the gym once? Since I moved at least. Thats so time consuming and hard. I don't know the cable channels either. So I can't even pick what I want to watch! Lets try and get back in the gym this week.

Not sleeping well, as usual, has contributed significantly to my lack of motivation to do anything other than work and school. That couch is comfy enough to get me to nap... gotta catch up with that sleep. I've been doing this tuesday thursday thing that has been wreaking havoc on my general sleep schedule... School is so close to being done so why not skimp on the sleep?

A lack of sleep leads to SO many problems it isn't even funny. Weight gain being the number one. Huh. Vicious cycle. 

Blast from the Past...

Yes, of course. I'm back after a LONG hiatus of writing and being busy and trying to live life and neglecting food/weight blog. I've got quite a lot to update about but lets just start with the one soul reason I started writing this thing in the first place:

No significant weight change either direction. No, haven't really exercised, I've gotten sick a few times lost the weight and bounced it all back but nothing more than what I started with.

THEN I start having this weird obnoxious pain in my insides so of course I see countless doctors and nobody can tell me one way or another what is wrong with me and soon I will be scheduled to have my insides scoped out to see if I have any number of problems like constipation (which would be quite obvious), ulcers (which I've been tested for already), celiac (which is VERY unlikely) or some other stomach/intestinal issue. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I had something growing, but thats just based on my family history and current average health. It did just kind of come on all of a sudden so who knows! I'll be informing you when I finally do get into the doctor chair and see how all that goes. Work schedule frequently conflicts with life and stuff. So that's been slowing me down quite a bit.

Tried the whole gluten free thing and that helped to a point, but there was still pain so clearly that isn't my problem. Doctors have told me several different diets to use since I've been trying to avoid getting scoped but I'm kind of sick of it. So I'll bite the bullet.
