In a conference for work all week, so journaling will be at a minimum, plus I don't have much control over my food, particularly breakfast and especially lunch since its being provided. :( I'll just have to watch portion size!

Last night was my first CrossFit class.... Oh. My. God. I. Can't. Move... We did an hour of instruction and then only 15 minutes of working out, but it was seriously intense. I'm hooked!!! Next class is tomorrow :)

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Forgot to weigh myself on this fine, fine morning. Oooooops.

I had a good weekend.. Went and relived my college days on Friday. A friend was home from Las Vegas (he moved there for work) so we went back to Villanova to our old stomping grounds -- got waaayyy too drunk! Apparently none of us can drink like we used to!! But that's okay, we all had an awesome time.

Saturday was recovery day. Flag football game was at 3, and we lost horribly. Our team is made up of a bunch of individuals who signed up separately and got thrown together, and we're playing teams who've been together for 5+ years. It's a little unfair, but no one seems to be stepping up to take the captain position. So I organized a team bonding party at my place for Friday night :) Hopefully it helps before our Saturday game!

After our football game, I drove to the airport to pick up the BF. He was out in LA for two different interviews. He didn't get the job in Baltimore, so the chances of him moving to California are going up and up. It's really scary. We talk about it on occasion, but he keeps telling me not to worry about things until he actually finds a job. But I can't help it - I worry about things because I don't know what's going to happen. I just find myself getting more and more attached to him (even though I know I can be totally independent) and I don't want him to leave. My co-workers (more peers than actual co-workers) keep asking if I'm going to immediately move somewhere with him. I say no.. He's going to get a job, and move. We'll re-evaluate things six months to a year after the move, and take it from there. But what's scary is that I could potentially be moving again in a year, most likely across the country, meaning I'll have to find a new job, etc etc. It seems to becoming a little bit more real every single day, and it's scary!

Feels good to get that off my chest.. On another note, my team has another big volleyball game tonight. I'm excited! I hope we play as well as we did last week - we kicked butt!

I just got my confirmation email for my enrollment in the On Ramp class starting tomorrow for CrossFit!! I have been waiting for this day for months! I've heard that this gym is so close it's like a family, and I'm really excited to get involved. The on ramp class is 4 sessions, tuesday and thursday this week and next, which is instructional and teaches you how to properly do all of the techniques. It's a bit expensive to get involved in, but I'm hoping that it works well for me. If it works, I'd be willing to spend the extra money!

Sounds like everyone else had a pretty eventful weekend! Let's keep it that way and everyone have an excellent week too!

WOOF!!!!! I just inputted my calories for yesterday, and it was a whopping 1800. But I know it was probably more like 2400 since my almost *800* calorie lunch was out at an italian catering hall, and smothered in butter and oil. My gosh I was so stuffed all day. Horrifically horrifically stuffed. A feeling that I have not had in a long long time since I started working on portion control. I will NOT be doing it again any time soon. Damn these work outings!

I really want to try to get to my kickboxing class today. It's at 6:45, and I'm not leaving the office until 5:35, so hopefully I'll make it there in time. I reeeeally need to kick myself back into workout mode. I find it very difficult to lose any more weight unless I'm consistently exercising - even if it's just 3 days per week, I see results on the scale immediately.

I've been really interested in attempting a cleanse lately, except they're super intimidating. I don't want to go too extreme on my first try. I messaged with Staci and we're going to try one for 2-3 days, mainly with just fruit/vegetable juice and maybe some vegetables as food if we're starving. (I know I can't deal with the nasty tasty of the "master cleanse") We're both in it for the 'ridding the body of toxins' idea, rather than immediately weight loss. I'm tired of these digestive problems and hopefully this will jump start something better!

Thought of the day: If you had to do it all over again... would you? What have you been really happy about in your life thus far, and what would you change?

I'm back! It's been a few days since I've been on here. I've just been mentally keeping track of my calories on a day to day basis. Which is nice, because I didn't put any weight on. (.2 lbs... I consider that nothing :D)
The weekend with my friend was really nice. We did a lot of walking around on Saturday. She'd never been to Philly, so I took her in and saw all the historical old stuff like the Liberty Bell and the Constitution Center. We even stopped by at Betsy Ross's house which I've always wanted to see.
Back to the daily grind.. Had a volleyball game last night. We were matched up really well with the other team, and won 2 of the 3 games. WOO! It was a tough match, but we pulled through. Definitely worked up a sweat.
I'm really excited - I'm going to make home made sauce and spaghetti and meatballs tonight for dinner. I LOVE making it, it's just time consuming. The BF will probably come over and have some for dinner too, assuming he gets done with his homework.

I've also been thinking about going back to graduate school a lot... I think I'm going to apply to Drexel for their Engineering Management masters for August! EEK!
