Out of sync.

I'm already failing on the update front. Hopefully I'll get into the groove of posting at some point. I'm still doing well with my weight loss program - I had lost another 3.6lbs when I weighed in last Friday. That puts the official weight at 139.6lbs (clothed, obviously). The weigh-in before that showed a gain of 1lb, so I guess I overcompensated.

I'm several weeks away from the one-year anniversary of starting the program, and have lost weight pretty consistently the entire way. I'm looking forward to being able to stop soon, but I don't think it will be as soon as I had originally hoped. I'm still not exercising regularly, and it's starting to take its toll. Without exercise, I'm limited to under 1000 calories a day. I'm hoping that will change over the summer - the pool is already open but is still too cold for me.

One peculiarity I have noticed so far is that my body changes much faster than my self-image does. It doesn't really happen when looking into the mirror - but whenever I see myself from a perspective I don't normally have I'm always surprised. The other day I was working in a teleconference room, and the cameras were stuck on for whatever reason. When I had finished and started walking out of the room, I saw myself on the monitors... and it was really strange. I had to stop and look at myself for awhile - I didn't really recognize myself. I think I look thinner than I feel.
