On Vox: Tralala
So I am about to hop on the metro and head down to the mall for the FREE FLAMING LIPS SHOW! I am so excited!
I have my engagement shoot in a month, so starting last week I am shedding off 8 pounds in 5 weeks. It won't be too bad, I just cut out a couple hundred calories a day since I am a vegetarian and don't eat processed food so already eat really healthy. It isn't that I think I am fat, I just want to be really toned (back to my weight when I was competing). So, I cut down a few calories and am training 30 minutes 5x a week. In the past week I lost 1.5 pounds, so I should be well on my way. I am riding everyday, so I am just cross-training with weights and cardio. Hopefully this way I can look as fit as the fiancé in the engagement shoot! I am so excited since I never got high school pictures or anything like that.
The horses are doing great, I am loving the new weather! Already rocking out my SPF 50. :)
We close on the house May 20 and leave for Europe the 24, so things are going to be insane. I am saving money like mad so that I can relax this summer while the kids are out of school. We never really eat out, and all of our entertainment is free (museums....FLAMING LIPS SHOWS),I don't really shop.....ever.....so that isn't a problem. Mainly I am saving money by canceling Netflix, having more nights at friends houses instead of at the bar, replacing my language tutors with language partners that I trade English for German/French/Russian, and automating my savings account deductions. So hopefully this summer I can relax and take cooking classes (omg a whole other post) and not fret too much about the income. This is all in theory. :)
Ok I have to run to the metro. Hope everyone is doing well. I guess everyone is super busy since I haven't seen many friends updates lately. Hope everything is going well, I bet we are all outside enjoying this weather!
