Spring Cleaning
I've changed my journal layout a bit. I felt I need a spring-like layout and this is both spring-like and reminds me to keep exercising :) The new icon is courtesy of one of the fine folks over in obama_2008. I love it!
I had a great birthday week last week.
On Wednesday night, I went out for dinner with yrosalita and her family to an over-priced and not so good seafood place (McCormick & Schmick's, for the curious) to celebrate our shared birthday. Even though the food wasn't great the company was pleasant and Y gave me a wonderful gym bag full of goodies like hand weights and pilates bands (rosepurr, I might need to rack your brain for advice on how to use the pilates bands). This weekend I intend to treat Y to a spa massage as her birthday gift.
On Friday, there was a celebration for my birthday and two other co-worker's birthdays at Wood Ranch at the Grove. A blast was had by all and I laughed so hard I felt like I had done 100 crunches the next day. My wonderful friends bought me a Nintendo DS and Mario Kart for my birthday so now I can officially be part of the Boy's Lunch Club on Mondays and Wednesdays. So far, I pretty much suck at the game but I will get better and one day I'm gonna kick all their asses!!
Other than that, my life is pretty good. The weight loss/working out continues to go well. I'm down 16.6 lbs and between 3 and 4 pant sizes, depending on where I shop. Oh, and I can finally fit in pants from Old Navy..w00t! I also got my hair cut and (with the assistance of yrosalita dyed it a deep burgundy color. It's been getting rave reviews from all quarters and I hope to post some pics of it soon. Also, I literally caused one of the guys at work speechless this morning when I walked in, so I guess I'm doing something right:)
Ok, enough bragging from me for awhile. I hope everyone else is having a good week. I hope all you Ohioans have unburied yourselves from all that snow and that Spring gets a move on for all of us.
