Saturday I had a great workout and then left for Chicago to meet up with an old friend. We had so much fun but unfortunately that "fun" included too much food and alcohol. My body hated me for 2 days afterwards! I haven't drank like that in soooo long and I definitely can't handle it like I used to. Ugh. And she was ready to get up and do it all over again!! Now there's the difference between a single girl in the city and a small town Mom. HA! I already told Donna about this, but it was so hard to see how small my friend was, when she rarely works out and drinks so much. She had to be about a sz 2. She wasn't "muscle-y" at all, but was just so small. Yet her boobs were big and perky. BEYOTCH. LOL! Nah, I totally love her and she's such a great friend, but after becoming so involved in working out and trying to eat healthy, it really messes with my head to see how great she looks without putting in all the effort I do. (Don't get me wrong, I totally know I screw myself up with little binges here and there...but still?)
Anyway....I only had Sunday off from the gym and was back at it on Monday. My eating still was not 100% though, and I know that's what's killing me. I don't remember how much I've talked about it, but my last day at work was last Thursday. Now I'm home with Aiden all day and......it's weird. I mean, I thought I'd be loving this and it would be so much easier to eat healthy and workout. Well, getting to the gym is not a problem, but staying home all day isn't as easy as I had thought. I have more time to prepare meals, and that's soooo nice, but I also have more time around those cupboards full of crap food I don't need.
Now I have to go through everything and separate piles for things to go to goodwill, things to go in the trash, and things that need to be moved. We're scheduled to move the weekend of Feb 9th. I just wish this whole thing was over already. I HATE PACKING!!! I just want us to be there and moved in already so I can get into a good routine. I'm not, however, looking forward to leaving my gym. It has, by far, the best classes I've taken in any gym. Which has been soooo nice on those days I haven't felt motivated to push myself to that level. HOWEVER, we will be living right next to a new YMCA that is supposed to be awesome. Part of me has thought about getting certified and trying to get a job there..... that's a ways down the road though...b/c I will have to get my own butt in gear before that would happen.

Ok, enough now about the "skinny" friend. You are WAY leaner than her, I am sure of that.
So, you're home full time now so where are you??? I didn't get any emails from you yesterday, ha ha. Yeah, I know how it is though. I have more time at work to email and surf blogs than I do at home.
Ummmm no you are wrong. She isn't "skinny fat", she's so little, I swear!! LOL
Email on the way...
It will catch up to her at some point. Besides, she hasn't had kids yet.
Throw the crap out and start planning your meals.You did this once and you can do it again.
Is your size 2 friend younger? cause usually that is what happens until you reach a certain age or have kids and then things are totally different. Not only can I not party like I used to but I cannot lose wt like I used to or add muscle.
We're in the same mode, I think. Moving and can't wait to get settled and into a routine. Good luck - hope everything goes well for you guys!
WEll we all love you best ! :)
Good luck on the move this weekend!!!
Hi Melissa! I'm so glad you left a comment on my blog! I've been thinking about you everyday and checking your blog for new posts. I didn't realize you were in the middle of a move, but I'm relieved to hear everything is ok because I was getting worried! I KNOW how stressful and busy moving can make your life. We did it twice in 1 year...UGH! Take care of yourself and keep in touch! Let me know how you're doing...email me anytime. :)
