today is august

july was a shit month, to put it frankly. a shit month for working and weight loss, i should say, since i had a great time socially. i'm ready for august. even with its 100 degree days and 80 degree nights. it's a new picture on the calendar (this month on "the office" wall calendar: toby, from HR - "Technically, I am in Human Resources, and Dwight was asking me about human anatomy. Um...I'm just sad the public school system failed him so badly."), and the time for me to pretend july never happened and do what i need to do to get over my mental block and keep moving forward.

i lost 3.4 lbs this week, which is a great boost after 3 weeks of practically no movement. i was ready to get home and take a walk, even though it was hotter than hades yesterday.

i can do this. i know i can. i've been at it for 11 months. just do it, damnit.
