finally closer to 200 than 300

busy week - i haven't been eating the best foods but they've been in pretty small quantities b/c my band has been feeling pretty tight. yesterday i definitely had some trouble w/ multiple foods during the day.

however, this morning i was officially under the 250 mark, making me closer to 200 than 300 for the first time in a long time. finally!

sleeping bags

i guess its been awhile since i was last in a sleeping bag - i would say a good 70 pounds ago. so i go to get a new one for a camping trip i've got coming up. i'm psyched about the trip, psyched to get a new bag and sleeping pad; i pick out a very nice looking grey-blue mummy one, take it home and attempt to zip myself up in it. oh my god, i felt so claustrophobic. it was way, way too tight. my legs felt like they couldn't move at all. it was horrible. it never really occurred to me that i could be too fat for a sleeping bag. first i thought it was just the bag but then i realized that i weighed much less the last time i went camping.

so i exchanged it today and got a nice square(r) bottom bag. it's cool and i'm happy with it but i seriously cannot wait to not have to worry about fitting into things anymore (theater seats, airplane seats, rollercoasters (not even going to attempt that anytime soon), etc...)

tornado(s)!

wow. there are a couple of tornadoes around the chicagoland area. it got real dark real fast and started to lightning and thunder. i love thunderstorms but the tornado part is a little freaky. on a shite note, i've got another headache. it really feels like it's in my sinus area so i'm wondering if it's related to the barometric pressure outside at all. whatever it is, it sucks.

lollapalooza workout. sweet.

so this fill seems to be pretty decent. i don't feel too restricted that i can't eat out in public but i can sense my "full" better. or maybe i'm just being more aware and eating slowly since my fill was so recent. either way - it's going well.

went to lollapalooza last night. caught parts of a couple of shows but did a LOT of walking and it was damn hot and humid last night. i always forget how large grant park is. i think some of it is due to water loss but i'm down a little more than 2 pounds since my fill on thursday. that's pretty sweet.
