2007

[Edited to add the following after stealing it from the always too cool Sarah.] 

In the year 2007 I resolve to: Not strip for free anymore. Get your resolution here.

Weight 173

I started 2006 weighing 212 pounds.  This was a decided improvement from the previous year.

I started 2005 weighing 367 pounds. 

But I can't remember the last time I started a new year at under 200.   I know I weighed 140 in 1985.  And I know I was 227 in 1989.  What happened in between is a blur.  This --173-- is definitely my low weight for the last God knows how long. 

There is now 194 pounds less of me than there was at my highest weight. 

I've lost weight since the tummy tuck.  How much I'm not exactly sure, there's still a good amount of swelling, but I can see the loss in my face and (more sadly) my breasts.  It would be cool to end January under 170 with the idea of losing another 20 in the next 6 months.  I'm hoping to get cleared to go back to the gym by February.

Plans for 2007?

• Finish my dissertation.  I'm so ready not to be a graduate student anymore.
• Get ready to go on the job market next Fall.  See above.
• Re-join Easton gym as soon as heavier working out is allowed. 
• Be better about being tidy / organized around our apartment.
• Working car by the end of the year.  Again, see above.
• Be better about my skin care routine and try and get my eczema to go into remission.

Random good things?  I went to Starbucks today and discovered they have a new sugar free syrup option called "Cinnamon Dulce."  It's heavenly and I seriously recommend it.

And to those of you who've made this trip with me, whether you've come lately or been here for going on three years now, thank you for reading and happy new year!

Thanks for the props! All the money you're going to make stripping will surely make for a new car! :D

I think that is a very good list of resolutions. Thanks for the heads up on the syrup...I will have to try that next time I am there.

Btw, I bought a bottle of the SF cinnamon dulce syrup today (1/11) at my local Starbucks. This time the store didn't know if it was a "seasonal" flavor or permanent. However, it rang up for $6.95. I took it and ran.

I'm horrified that it might go away. I'm going to have to find a bottle of the stuff myself! :)
