That promised post about stuff besides books

[annathepiper]

So yeah, I’ve actually been doing things besides purchasing books lately, I swear!

The Great Enshrinkening of Anna proceeds apace, even if not quite as quickly as initially planned. As I enthused on Twitter and Facebook this morning, I hit 164 pounds today! Which is well and easily the lightest I’ve been in five years, and which gets me into territory before I’d started the Walk to Rivendell in 2005. (Which was when I started regularly tracking my weight.) 162 pounds is the 30 pounds lost mark. I’m still aiming for 150, so I have 14 pounds to go!

It’s a bit amusing as well to realize that if I count from my actual high point of weight last year, I’m actually down 29.5 pounds, not 28. But I’m still counting from when I actually started using the LoseIt app, so!

Work’s been a bit crazy lately since we’re hardcore face down on a huge project for the next few weeks–and my team’s having some QA shuffle going on as well, so we’re essentially down to two full-time QA people right now. But so far it’s all still good. And on Friday, we even finally got us an official Big Fish Games sign in front of our building! Check it out:

solarbird has gone to Oregon to play a gig down there, and I shall miss her, but wish her luck as well! In the meantime spazzkat and I went to have tasty sushi in Woodinville tonight, saving me from having to figure out what the hell to make myself for dinner.

I am very, very happy that the heat wave from last week has passed. I don’t mind the hot so much, but I do mind the part where I don’t sleep well in heat waves. Today was lovely, though, once the clouds cleared up, and I had a great walk down to the shops.

I should also mention that spazzkat has been getting into Leverage lately and I’ve quite enjoyed what I see of it so far. I can even tie this into Great Big Sea by noting that in the promo photos associated with the new album, Alan looks suspiciously Christian-Kane-like. This is not a bad thing. ;)

And speaking of GBS, NEW ALBUM COMING OUT ON TUESDAY! <3 <3 Brace for the squee, folks. You know it’s coming!

the incredible Shrinking Anna!

My goodness, there's no way that I will recognise you at Turkey Day, then.....

I'll wear a hat if that'll help!

[maellenkleth]

Careful! Bai says she wants a blue hat, too. We could start a fashion trend, here.

Heh. :)

All hands, batten down the hatches for MAXIMUM SQUEE... pass out earplugs fore and aft!

[annathepiper]

It is distinctly possible I may go hypersonic. Ear plugs are definitely warranted. ;)

I'm thinking that I need to visit you again soon, while there's still any Anna left to visit. :)

My best wishes to solarbird. :)

[annathepiper]

Ha! I am definitely at this point thinner than either of the times you've seen me, I think. :) But fear not, I won't go transparent!

You are of course welcome to visit again!

[ravyngyngvar.livejournal.com]

Thank you, but not this year, I think.

Do you have Twiggy Anna from spazzkat's comics as a goal?

Just don't starve yourself. Keep healthy. Losing weight too fast can be just as bad as being overweight.

Sorry if I switched to "Mom Mode." :)

[annathepiper]

No worries, I'm definitely not starving myself, and I'm aiming for about 150 pounds and roughly 1.5 pounds a week lost. My doctor is okay with that, and I'll be checking in with her again at the 150 mark to see if we're in agreement that that's where I need to be. :)

a new GBS Album... I shall have to find it.

[annathepiper]

Woo! Hope you'll enjoy it. :)
