I think I'm done losing weight? I ask that as a question because I'm not entirely sure.
I'm down to goal weight. Not optimistic goal weight, but my real "happy" weight as a magazine terms it. 130 pounds. On average of course. I don't stick that number in my head too much because it drives me crazy when I deviate from it. Even if that means that I drank three bottles of water instead of two and it's just water in my tummy.
I've been vegetarian now for almost two months solid. I dabble in vegan and eat fish on the rare occaision that I need to in order to eat out at a restaurant with other humans.
Still going strong on the no sugar, no processed foods front. Although I do have some ice cream from time to time. It's all about quality of life people.
Yoga is going well. I'm doing what would call more advanced and intermediate things. My yoga anniversary comes up in August, and I've made some really good progress in a year.
I was waffling on going back to weight training and running again, and I think I've decided that I need to. The yoga is good for the resistance and it keeps me toned, but I don't want to lose all the work I've done in the last year and lose muscle mass.
Cycling is great and I'm looking to save money to invest in a real road bike. Or try and buy a slightly used one. I'm trying to join a triathlon training team in hopes of participating in one soon. There are just some annoying steps and other memberships I need to acquire first.
The body image thing is improving, but only slightly. Still working on it. Yoga helps me with an acute sense of my body shape and space, so in time I think things will get better. I bought size 2 shorts for the summer. Last year I probably couldn't have gotten a leg in there nevermind my whole body. So I know I've done something right.
Time to go fight off this cold I have that's not bad, but annoyingly lingering.

Hi Kate. Thanks for posting to my blog. You've lost your weight in such a short time! I am impressed. It took me two years to lose mine. I have been vegan for 5 years. It's true, you don't get to eat out with 'other humans' much, but other than that, strict vegetarianism has not been difficult.
I look forward to reading more about your journey.
