Japanland and a revised resolution

So, a lot has happened lately: the semester ended and summer break began.

Also, and I didn't blog about this (or much of anything I realize), I got accepted into KU's summer study abroad program! That means that on the 2nd of June, I leave for Japan and I won't be back until the 9th of July.

5 weeks! I'm fairly excited.

Though, as anyone who has been reading this (ha! that's a funny thought) would know, I was hoping to be roughly 30-some-pounds lighter by now. But thanks to things previously recorded, I'm not. What is my weight? Not telling. It's not above what is used to be, but it's not far enough below it for me to be even remotely happy. SIGH. Well, if I don't look super awesome for my first trip there, at least I'll be smokin' by the time I do the JET later on.

So...I'm hoping that my trip will be beneficial to my weightloss. I think it will be...and I'll use that momentum to propel me when I get back (after I recuperate). My new goal is to lose the weight by mid September or early October. And I'm not going to let anything stop me this time. I'm getting too irritated by how things are at the moment.

Anyway. Change of topic.

While I'm in Japan, I think I'll update this and it'll be a nice place to store some pictures. It will be easier to make one massive post periodically than to send dozens of emails every few days. Of course, I'll be sending a few emails anyway, even if I do post here, but I think it'd be easier to do this than the other. Also, I have a terrible memory, and once you pair that with occasional sloth, you get a girl who wouldn't remember to whom or when she'd sent emails. And, I hate repeating myself.

So, it's settled. Washoku Lean is shortly going to be more about Japan than weight. Yipee!

Hmn...I know I'm typing a bit scatterbrained today, and I'm not sure why, but roll with it.

I think my tone above doesn't adequately express my excitement. I am super excited about this trip, though I must say that I'm probably not showing it as much as I could. I tend not to get super excited outwardly, unless whatever I'm excited about is already happening and there's nothing that can stop it from happening. I'll get excited then. But I won't show it before that point. I know this comes from things falling through and I know this can't realistically fall through, but I'm ever hesitant to get my hopes up. I've been wanting to go to Japan forEVER (the reasons why are another story entirely), so this is a huge event for me.

Of course, it was an event that I wanted to be hot for, but alas. I'll have my day!

And now I think I've run out of stuff to talk about for the time being. So...yeah.

I'm out.
