I HAVE SHOULDERS

Weight: 160
Size: Still at 2" loss
Construction Status: First Floor

Sorry I've been MIA, I started a new position at a furniture consulting firm in Boston and have barely had time to eat dinner before falling into bed, which means since I haven't had time for this, I haven't really worked out for the last two weeks. Thankfully I started up again last night, but thanks to Metformin, the hard work I had done in the weekd preceeding did not get washed away! I noticed this morning upon looking in the mirror that I had shoulders for the first time, something that since hitting puberty I don't think I've had. I'm sure it has something to do with the disapperance of the lovely fat deposit us women get between the breast and shoulder. I'm excited for a party in New York this weekend because I have a sleeveless shirt to wear. It will probably be the first time in a long time I won't  be embarassed to show off my arms or shoulders. I will hopefully be moving to the Boston area and have a good excuse to go for walks along the water in addition to my 30 Day Shred workout. I'm not a big fan of walking in Worcester because it's not as interesting.

The lactose intolerance test has proven true. I have tried to integrate certain things that contain lactose into my diet and the moment I do, some part of my face breaks out horribly and I can't get rid of the spots for weeks. I actually had a spot on my chin for a month and it has now turned into a keloid, on my face, no thank you. Definitely staying away from lactose products. I am curious to see if the lactose pills will help but I'm going to wait to be seen by a doctor prior to attempting in the even that my face does erupt yet again.

I'm trying to psych myself up about eating healthy by recreating crazy yummy sandwiches. Borrowed some ideas from the Nordstrom Bistro on sandwich ideas that involves fat free mayo with Craisins and some raw green beans. We'll see!
