I'm under 200 lbs, with a surprising big loss this week! I'm not sure I trust the scale, and it'll no doubt level off in the next weeks, but I'm going to enjoy this bit of the numbers game anyway.

Lol, means my still plump body is now within most medical school weight limits for their cadavers; so my final-wishes bequest can be realized (someday).

I have reached my 10% goal, lost more than 25 lbs, gotten my weight under 200 lbs, and moved from being a couch potato into a decent walking habit. Not bad for a start, huh? Autumn is my favorite season, and I'm hoping its a good one as I continue on.

not a bad day

"slept in" til 8 am.

Went to the laundromat for clean clothes.

Met Kara for lunch, Subway sandwiches and chat; ran some errands with her afterward. She showed me her latest piece of artwork, a really impressive Dragon head portrait; the detail and shading on the scales was awesome!

Indulged a short afternoon nap.

Ditzed online off and on various times, trying to contact some folks and other random stuff. ryokara and I are trying to work out when we can meet up; I'm adopting a handmedown cat from her. (Yes, I decided I can handle another pet.)

Added myself to another LJ community steamfashion; there's some nifty creative stuff there. In the last week, I've had two different LJ friends mention Steampunk as being the "new Goth" and the "thinking person's Goth". Shrug; it appeals to my morbid Victorian interests. :)

Took an evening walk, both easy and long. 7 miles. I walked up to Bandito Burrito, took a breather and had dinner (taco salad without the fried tortilla shell) and then walked another four miles before ending up back at home. Last half hour or so was in the dark; that's going to be the only problem with Summer ending, daylight getting shorter.
