Hope everyone is doing well, it's been forever since I've been here! 
Well, some very bad news, that I knew was coming. I stepped on the scale today and I was at 157.
That's not bad, but considering I used to be at 130, it kind of makes me feel sick to my stomach. I know why I've gained it back, and I know that I don't push myself nearly as hard and I make up excuses. I think I've come back here 3 times since then and I fell off the wagon everytime. But, I'm also not too worried about the scale, mostly what I look like. I have been running and lifting weights more often recently so I know (especially from my looks) that not all of that is fat.
BUT! I really miss the times when I'd work out for 2 hours a day (seems like a lot, but it wasn't hardcore exercise all the time) and felt great. I could blame it on a lot of things like school, my photography, FOOD, but I can't really. All of those things have an impact, but I also have the power to control myself and put aside time for me. I joined a gym this month, but I really hate having to change and go back to the gym for an hour and wasting gas and money on something that I don't really need. I am perfectly capable of losing weight and being healthy with the tools at my home because I've done it before. So, I'm canceling my membership this year and sticking with my treadmill and videos.
One of my biggest downfalls is that I really love photography and that's what I have been pretty much immersing myself in for the past year. I continuously sit on my butt editing and while it's pretty good exercise running around, taking photos, the editing outweighs that. School has me sitting all day and by the time the day is over I'm exhausted. I really want to open my own studio in the future and I have been telling myself that it's more important than exercising, but they both should be equal.
And then those stupid reeses cups! Peanut butter and chocolate are so good and I can't stay away from them. I don't buy the groceries so I can't tell my praents not to buy them. They're just there and when I want something small that's exactly where I go. I used to only have a small bit of chocolate on Sundays and I think I'll try and go back to that. I actually haven't been grazing as much as usually which is good.
Overall, I'm pumped to get back on it. It's going to be harder the second time around and I keep thinking about how hard it was at the very beginning, but I know I can do it. I'll be checking here regularly now and I'm excited to start counting how much I've LOST every week and not be afraid of the scale! I'm graduating from high school this May too, so I want to look nice!
I think I'd like to try to lose 5 lbs by St. Patty's day. That sounds pretty easy!
My final goal: -27 lbs!
Hope you all have a great day.
ETA: I just started a P90x DVD tonight! I decided to do the cardio and since I ran yesterday my legs hurt, but I powered through it! It was actually better than I thought it was going to be!

I laughed too, it's okay. Then again, I also work with elementary school students so...
for the UTI I got over the weekend. Fun fun. I am feeling much better although I've made about 6 trips to the bathroom today because of all the water I'm drinking!
) today and have a lot of re-starting to do. No idea why I'm so scared to get on the scale. I must LIKE the padding for some reason? 
. Mind you, I had lost 11 pounds the first week all gung-ho...so I regained most. The 2.4 is the grand total of 7 weeks. I crack myself up!
