On a more positive note, I think this whole vegetarian thing is working for me - in the sense that I think I'm losing weight. Very slowly, but still. As Leigh said to me once, you didn't gain the weight overnight, so you can't lose it overnight either. Since November, I've noticed that my clothes are fitting better and better (especially jeans), my rings are getting loose, and it's getting harder to "pinch an inch." I guess several factors are contributing to this - my appetite lessens as the temperature gets hotter, I've been building muscle, eating less crap, drinking a ton of water, getting more fiber, etc. I haven't even been doing any cardio regularly. I think I was on the treadmill over a week ago. I try to do at least 2 arms/abs workouts a week. I'm very conscious of how my arms look this time of year, because I wear a lot of sleeveless tops. I'm guessing (since I refuse to own a scale) that I need to lose maybe 5 lbs of fat. I'll find out soon enough. I have a gynecologist appointment and a physical scheduled for July. Those should be fun, huh?
