And I'm still floating on a cloud of con happiness. I had the best time this year, and most of that was spending such great time with friends. Wheeeeeee! I can't wait to do it all over again next year.

Anyway, now on to the next phase of my journey: Rivendell to Lothlorien. 462 miles. I hope I can do it before Dragon*Con, but I'm not sure. *crosses fingers*

To my current weight loss goal, that is. I have it planned to set a new one each time I reach the current one, until I reach the ultimate goal. Baby steps, right? Before, it was to lose10% of my starting weight. I achieved that, and then I set to lose down to *cough* 200 *cough*. I'm 5 pounds away, and these last few weeks have been rough trying to lose anything. For several weeks I didn't lose more than 4 pounds altogether. Last week, though, I lost 4 pounds, and this week I lost another 2. I think I'm back on track. Woohoo!
I'm losing inches, as well, but I can't seem to lose any in my waist. My bust has reduced (although the cup size is still pretty impressive), and I've lost in my hips. About 2 1/2 inches in my boobs so far, and about 3 1/2 in my hips. I've only lost about 1 1/2 - 2 inches in my waist, though. I guess I really need to work on stomach crunches, or something. All the walking I've done is doing great with the hips and thighs, but not so good on the waist.
I can't wait until Dragon*Con this year! Time to get started on costumes!

I'm pretty happy about that, but would love to up that average. Weekends are a good time for me to try and push myself. Today I covered 8 miles, but my ankles aren't happy with me. I think it might be my shoes. Bummer, because I like them other than the way they sit around my ankles.
Tomorrow I want to do at least 7 or 8 miles. Maybe more. Time to try a different pair of shoes to experiment with, and see if my ankles feel OK afterward. Also, can't forget to recharge my mp3 player. That has really helped me out by giving me a beat to walk to. Helps me just zone out and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

accomplished
Anyway, that's a total of 66.4 miles since Jan 21. I'm pretty sure I won't go nearly as far today, but I'm shooting for at least that far again next Saturday and Sunday.
Anyway, thanks to

muntahz, I've been working on losing some weight. She prodded me into this, and I blame her. LOL A week or two after I visited with her, we got to talking about weight loss, and she suggested a plan she has. I'm not thinking of this as a diet. It's a lifestyle change, and once the cravings of the first two weeks went away, I've had relatively little trouble sticking to this. - Mood: jubilant

Can I just say I love Dragon*Con? It's my favorite time of the year, other than Hallowe'en. And here it is again. Woot!

Well, now I've finally gone and done it. I have several ideas running around my head right now, but seemingly not enough time to do any of this stuff. I had hoped to have this done in time for Archon, but I refuse to bust my butt. I will have this done in time for DCon, though, or I'd better. Here's what I have so far on a can-can outfit. Must embellish the outer skirt, make the bodice, and the pantaloons.

Today has been a full day, starting with panels at 9:00. Lots of stuff today, and an idea or two popped into my head for something I want to make some day. Some day long down the road, I think.
I arrived in St Louis last night for Costume-Con 25, and it's been great so far. Didn't do much last night except pick up my registration early. Too tired to do anything fun.
