day 22: commence the final stretch

my friend Annie has been sleeping in my room since i don't have a roommate. i absolutely adore her! we talked last night for a solid two hours before coming upstairs to sleep.

this morning we woke up around 8:20 (that's what we call "sleeping in" here at FR). i was going to take a shower but i realized my hair would be wet for weigh-in, and quickly decided against risking any extra weight.

my starting weight: 191.6
my end-of-third-week weigh-in: 177.5
total of 14.1 lbs in 3 weeks. i can deal with that.

after weigh-in, i went to the dining hall and had some granola for breakfast. the sack lunch today was roasted asparagus and tomato hummus. inside the brown paper bag was hummus, carrots, pita, and string cheese. i used the apple that i would've had with breakfast.

i quickly went back to my room to catch up on as much sleep as possible before housekeeping came in to clean for my new roommate. i slept until 1:30.... hahahah. i woke up just in time for her to knock on the door, and i quickly slipped out as she came in.

i went downstairs and read skinny legs and all for about an hour while eating lunch. while i was in the dining hall, a small blonde woman came in and was getting some water while i was reading. i looked up and said hello, and she asked me what room i was in. she said something like this, "hi, what room are you in? oh we're roommates! how long have you been here? okay so how much weight have you lost?" the last question is one that is strongly discouraged here at fitness ridge. i'm sure she'll learn that quickly, but i thought it was a bit rude for that to be the first thing she asked. oh well. maybe it will work out. she's very nice! just intense! positive attitude time. i am in control of only myself.

after that whole situation i spent the rest of the afternoon with cindy, sean, maria, and ellen outside. this is cindy's eighth and final week. if her and annie weren't here i don't know what i would do. the sad thing is that everyone from the "fast" hiking group left except for me. i'm so alone..... hahah.

dinner tonight is stroganoff and vanilla pie. i'm sure it will be good.
after dinner i will probably find myself reading until i fall asleep. life is good when there are 7 days left of FR! life is great when there are 16 days until Oswego <3.

love and love and love,
goodnight.
