I need a massage

My whole body is aching. Don't get me wrong, for the most part, I'm LOVING this feeling. The part I'm having trouble with is my feet hurting so damn bad. Last night was my first full night working. Let me tell you that when I managed a pub (3yrs ago...pre-baby days), we were only open until 1:30am. Man- this bar is open until 3AM! WTH? Ok people, you do NOT need to be drinking that late. That is when you're supposed to be home drinking your own booze and passing out. Last night I looked over to my right and there was a man...oh, probably about 50yrs old or so....totally sleeping at his table. Head dropped into his chest, snoozin. Niiiiiice. Thankfully a server had already caught it and he was waiting on his ride. And, I do think this is & will be a fun job~ I mean hello, I get to see any sporting event on about 8 flat screens, I get to talk to a crapload of adults rather than toddlers, and I get to make pretty damn good money while doing it. HOWEVER- my feet HURT. BAD. And I wore my Nikes. Did I mention I woke up without a voice b/c I was constantly yelling over the band? Yeah, right now I sound like a man. It's great. So I got home around 3am, which actually isn't bad. Since it died down, I didn't have to close. They said normally if you have to close, you're there till past 4am. My God, I enjoy my sleep waaaaaaayyyy too much for that. I haven't done that crap since college. Ahhh well, the things you do to make some extra $$~ at least until we get some crap paid off! ;)

On the fitness front of things, my diet has been 100% on all week and it feels sooo good to say that. It's been so long since I've said that. I'm just anxiously awaiting my body to start looking like I'm feeling. I woke up feeling lean today and yesterday was my high carb day. I thought I'd feel like a puffer fish after that. Nope. :) Back to 3 more days of low carbin' it though... My workouts have gone really well. I'm doing so many exercises I've never done, or have rarely done, and I think my body is going "whaaaaaattttt?". This has GOT to kickstart some fat loss.

Alrighty, off to get the kiddo packed up and off to the gym :) TGIF!! Can't wait till Sunday for some MUCH NEEDED REST.

TGIF Melissa! I can so relate to your new job, I've worked in every restaurant position; server bartender, hostess, manager, etc. for years.....I think everyone should do it, but yes it is killer on the legs!! Are your shoes walking shoes? I remember when I switched to "walking" tennis shoes it made all the difference.

I'm so glad the diet and workouts are going well for you!! Don't step on the scale until Beka says...never a good thing, but I'm sure you've already made LOTS of progress. :) I know about the feet hurting...mine are, too!!

Poor little feet. Tell Hubby you need a foot massage! Hope you kicked booty at the gym and REST on Sunday!

That is hard work and I'm sorry I passed out at the table. I didn't snore did I?
