LEASE = SIGNED!! I am SO happy! My future roommate and I signed the lease for a new house on Sunday! It was so worth the wait. The landlords are this adorable couple with a little baby. They need to move for the husband's job, but they're too attached to the house to sell it! It has a fabulous little area in the back yard and a great deck, and its QUIET. It is so hard to find that where I live. It was seriously worth the struggle and time consumption. July 1st can't roll around soon enough!

Had my first football game on Saturday. We had a practice on Friday to meet the whole team, and everyone seems pretty cool. Saturday morning was game #1, which we lost. We played a team who's been playing together for 3+ years so we clearly had a disadvantage from the get go. But we'll mesh together eventually. The teams playing after us needed an extra girl, so I decided to stick around and play a second game. And maannnnn I'm feeling it! Yes, I run a decent amount, but I don't sprint. Totally different. I had no idea I had so many muscles around my ankles/calves because it hurts to walk the past two days. OUCH! At least I know I got a good workout :)

First volleyball game of the season tonight! Tomorrow I'll aim for my favorite body pump class @7, and then try to get kickboxing in on Wednesday. Maybe I'll go for a run Thursday? I think yes :) It should be nice all week!

On a bad note, my Grandma is back in the hospital. She took another turn for the worse. My mom is driving up to Boston again today to go see her. I won't be making too many definite plans for the week just in case I have to leave on short notice :/

I hope everyone's weekend went well and you're enjoying the beautiful weather for the week!

Word of advice: Don't drink a beer after you donate blood. It goes STRAIGHT to your head. I learned :)

The apartment we saw yesterday was TERRIBLE. It was in the middle of construction, it was dirty, it was old. The two bedrooms on the third floor had maaaaaybe 6' ceilings? Neither of our boyfriends would be able to stand! (They're 6'1" and 6'6"). The basement where the washer and dryer were was basically a spider infestation. And I am seriouslyyyy arachnaphobic. So, no thank you. We will not be living here. But we're still really optomistic about two of the places on Sunday we have scheduled to see!

Tonight I'm meeting the flag football team for the first time to throw the ball around and meet everyone. We'll be going out for a few beers afterwards, so I'm going to try to keep my calories low, get some good exercise in (maybe even wear my Garmin to see how many calories I burn) so I can splurge a little on the alcohol. Then, tomorrow is our first real game! I believe we're playing my boyfriends old team, who he doesn't like very much. Should be interesting...

He's at another interview right now! It's for a job IN PHILADELPHIA!!!! YESSSS! But, it's just an okay job :-/ No where near as good as the Baltimore one, so it's definitely at the bottom of his list. A girl can dream, I guess..

Have a few errands to run after work today (done before 1pm! WOO!) so I'll have a busy day. But busy is good! I'll take it.

Happy Friday the 13th to everyone! And I hope you have busy weekends planned too :)

Just got back from donating some good old red blood cells. I'm feeling surprisingly energized, which is usually the opposite of how I feel after donating.. I will say though, I got a good laugh when they gave me a sticker that said "Be nice to me! I gave blood today!" ... because I'm typically a cranky b*%^# afterwards :D

Thanks to all my buddies who left some suggestions on my rather personal journal yesterday! I really appreciate the help and thought. I'll definitely be exploring my options.

No working out today :( Nurse's orders after giving blood. BUT I will be going to check out another apartment! We're seeing one tonight and THREE on Sunday! My roommate and I have high hopes for 2 of the ones we'll be checking out on Sunday.. fingers crossed!

The boyfriend hasn't heard a definite answer about the Baltimore job, but it's looking better and better... but he got a call yesterday and a different company wants to fly him out to L.A. for an interview in two weeks! Crazy! We had a looooong talk about it last night, and if he's offered both the Baltimore and the LA job, he'd take the Baltimore one since they're basically the same work, and we'd be able to stay closer to each other. He even brought up making a plan for a year or two down the road when we've been away from each other so long..... AHH!

Weigh-in: 138.0 lb lost so far: 14.0 lb still to go: 8.0 lb Diet followed reasonably well
   add comment steady weight

11 April 2012

So I finally weighed myself this morning. I'm at 138.0, which isn't too bad compared to the 137.2 from last Sunday. However, I'm not counting this as accurate since I haven't... ahem.. used the bathroom since Sunday evening. Which I know is not a good sign. Sorry for those of you who might see this as TMI..

I used to be pretty regular in that department. However, the past two months at this point, I've been all over the place. I hardly ever have regular bathroom trips anymore. I'm constipated for days on end, then plagued with horrible stomach cramps for a few minutes, and then the runs immediately after. I know we're not supposed to self-diagnose, but I'm pretty convinced I have at least a mild case of IBS. And I also know that this is DEFINITELY not helping with the good old runners trots.

I thought maybe the constipation had to do with not drinking enough water, so I've been guzzling 64 oz a day for the past two weeks and it's not helping at all.. Any other suggestions from the peanut gallery? Bravo if you're still reading..
