Hello again!

Wow, I've been gone a long time again. There hasn't been much progress in my losing weight project in any case. I am currently hovering around 185, and have been eating crap food and not active at all. Unless you count sitting on the train to and from Zürich everyday. But I don't.

HOWEVER, when you find yourself failing you just have to pick yourself up and start again. So that's what I'm doing. The weather is getting nice and I'm buying a bicycle from a friend, so I plan to start riding that. I'll work my way up to be able to ride from home to PSI, which is something like 10 or 12 km I think. On the plus side some of my friends do it so I'll have people pushing me to join them. I think I'm giving up my gym membership though. My schedule is too irregular for it to be worth the money. Instead I'll bike, and join the pool/ice skating rink. Which costs way less. And is more fun.

Also, I've gone back and forth several times on whether I should keep my hair shorter or grow it out longer. I've always wanted to try something shorter, like a chin length bob or something, that I could wear either straight or wavy, but I've always been afraid that being as heavy as I am it would just make me look heavier. And I don't want that at all. Plus haircuts are so expensive here and I am cheap. So, I've now decided that I will make that my reward. When I get to my goal weight of 150 I'll try out a new and shorter haircut. And if I don't like it, then who cares, cause I'll look all awesome and skinny! Until then, it will just keep growing on its own. I finally have a goal with a reward to reach for!

  2. Aw thanks Amy! I think I'm still gonna stick with it being my reward though. When I reach my goal or finish my PhD, whichever comes first. Hoping that I reach my goal first though, 2 more years is a long time to go without a haircut!!
