Friends, Shoes and Weight Loss

The past few weeks have been mostly uneventful.  I've been spending a lot of time working on school work.  Thusly I have very little to blog about.  Some things that did happen:

I was getting ready to go hang out with friends when Joel called to talk.  After talking for a few minutes I told Joel I had to go to meetup with friends.  Joel said "hahaha, you don't have friends!"  To prove him wrong, I sent him a picture of me with all of my friends.  BURN:

This past Saturday, I met up with Leeann, whom I hadn't seen since our Canada vacation.  We went to Yours Truly for breakfast and made sure to wear PJ's.  We're all about the comfy for girls breakfast.  We spent a solid 2 hours gossiping and giggling about everything from boys to, well, boys lol.

Leeann, who had only got her ohio drivers license the year before actually bought her very first car.  I am so happy for her!  It's a cutie for a first car!!

That evening I met up with Mitch, Dom and KW at Dave and Busters for dinner.  Believe it or not, I actually got Mitch to agree to a picture!!!!  So cute right?!

We, of course, played minecraft after.  I took over KW's castle that he made and am carpeting it and adding pretty colored glass to it.  So pretty.

Sunday, I realized I needed new shoes.  I've been trying to go to the gym 5 times a week and this obviously is not ok with my shoes as I literally wore a hole in them.

Those shoes decided to start wearing a hole in me too (well a blister):

Dad gave me some extra money (because he's literally the best dad EVER), so I could get some new shoes that won't hurt me.  I went to the New Balance store in Crocker Park and bought the exact same shoes I had before, but in a different color:

You may be asking yourself: "If Jeannette is working out so much, is she losing weight?"  Why yes I am!  Thank you for asking.  Today is my 4 month diet-aversary.  I've been doing keto (basically Atkins).  After 16 weeks I've lost 38.6 lbs (2.4 lbs a week!!)  I went from a tight size 26 to being able to fit into my old size 22's:

While I don't look a whole lot different, I've got more energy.  When I started working out, it was tough to get the treadmill up to 2.4 mph.  Now, I'm easily up to 3.4 mph!  I can walk without getting winded!  It's the little things that make dieting worthwhile!  Huge thank you to mom and dad for being so supportive in both my schooling and dieting!!
