Bye bye America and single life!

My new 365 project is here

Sorry, Wes took this picture of me so this one is a cheat. He was laughing at my short legs and my big slippers. I guess I could have at least combed my hair before he took the picture!

We went out for dinner and took this crap picture of ourselves on the way home. It was too cold to stand there and perfect the shot!

Me and my Raynaud's. My poor toes are ice blocks these days and I had two pairs of socks on!

Walking by the canal. It's not the nicest backdrop, but it was a good place to set up the camera! Oh, and the background is washed out because the sun was actually out!!!

I finally got my engagement ring!!! Squeee!!! This picture fails to show just how sparkly it is! Wes did VERY well! :-)

I pretty much spent my day laying around and feeling like crap.

See this guy? A few months ago I went all 'American' on him. The bus ride home is about an hour on a good day. On this unfortunate day I forgot my iPod and only had a book. The bus was full, it was annoying, but it was 5:30pm on a work day. What do you expect? So this guy ended up standing next to me while I was sitting in one of those seats right behind the driver. For the ENTIRE journey he muttered under his breath. At first, I agreed with him. It was an annoying ride. The bus was packed and the driver just kept picking up more people. But then people started getting off and he was still cursing under his breath. The driver would stop at a red light and more cursing! Don't curse the driver for driving responsibly! This went on for at least an hour and I just couldn't take it anymore. I tried. I really did. I couldn't believe how much his negativity was making my blood boil. So I did it. I got up the courage to say, 'Your comments aren't making this journey go any faster.' At which point he told me to mind my own business. I told him that he was making this very difficult and I would appreciate it if he could keep his comments to himself. So, yes, I was a bitch. But at least the final 10 minutes of the trip was in peace!

If I lose any more weight, this feature of my dress will be lost! :-(

Too much of this (at home and work) has made my wrist hurt so I went to the GP today. He told me I have a hurt wrist and I should see a doctor. Gee thanks! I've been referred to a physio but I'm not holding out hope I'll get to see anyone before I leave the country!

I went out for a meal tonight with some friends. I was going to take a picture of me in my 'going out' outfit, then I realized this outfit was identical to my 'going to work' outfit. The only difference was the pink lip gloss I decided to wear. My wardrobe is pathetic.

164/365

It's all a bit overwhelming!

142/365

Woohoo!!! I met my August goal! I'd still like to lose another stone (14 lbs for you not in the know on that). It's going to be a much tougher battle from here on out! I think I'll set my September goal at 5 lbs and go from there.

141/365

I bought some new everyday earrings today!

115/365

Walking home from the bus stop and singing along to my iPod is nothing like driving the Civic home from the gym and singing along to the stereo. Boo!

114/365

I have committed to losing this much weight during the month of August. I know I can do it, I just have to stay focused! I'll be doing a cross between the low GI diet and Weight Watchers. Both were successful for me in the past (especially WW). I'll also be changing up my gym routine and trying to make it more like the routine I had in the US. Wish me luck!

111/365

I promise I'll go tomorrow!!! I started my post-vacation detox today (this means no pizza shop), but couldn't make it to the gym. Too tired.

Today was payday! Bought myself a treat! :)

Wes and I spent this afternoon in Bristol before he flew home. He had to take the picture because 1.) his arms are longer, and 2.) I was holding onto the railing I was sitting on.
