23.
So far, 23 is off to a great start, though I'm only three hours into it.
I just got back from a 4 mile bike ride / 4 mile walk. It was dark and kind of tiring for my muscles because I also went to the gym and did 5 miles today haha.
I was kind of feeling down on myself because I've been working out so hard and eating as well as I can with occasional (and deserved) snacking and haven't really seen any results. But today, I looked in the mirror and realized that my legs have REALLY changed. I have very defined calf muscles and my upper thigh flab is tightened up. If only the rest of me would catch up.
Oh well.
I've gone on exercise binges before, but I've never truly enjoyed it as much as I am enjoying it this summer. I've gone pretty hardcore, for myself. I'm trying to embrace the physical side of myself because I've been held captive by my fear / my body for far too long. By the time RA training comes around, I want to be able to participate in all of the games and not feel embarrassed by my physical uncertainty. I have been going to the gym nearly every day and ALSO going for a jog or a bike ride every night (at like 3 because that's when I get my energy haha).
Today, I went to the gym and then lounged around and picked Addie up. We went out for a lovely dinner and then picked Olivia up and went to see "Away We Go." I absolutely loved it and will soon own it. It really made me think about life, love and relationships in general. Who I want to be. How I want to be. When we got back, I biked down to Olivia's and we walked from her house to UMD and around Ring Road, then back and then I biked back. Now I'm doing laundry. I know it's 3:30 am. haha.
Tomorrow, I am meeting up with my mom and sister for lunch and shopping, then I have to work, and then I am going clubbing in Boston with Kate, her brother and Steph Luz. Should be...interesting!
I have to work the rest of the week until the 6th, when I am leaving to go down to Virginia to pick up the AT hikers! My co-pilot bailed so now I'm praying that Kate will be able to come, or else I may have to do the ride solo, though Olivia said she may be able to go. All I know is that I definitely don't want to go by myself.
I also know that I am going to molest Eric upon sight. I can't wait to see him. I hope our spark is still there. I hope he's every bit as great as I have built myself up to believe that he is.
Should be a fun first couple weeks as a 23 year old. Start my new job at SAIL/ go back to work at Ruby's on the 15th.
Ahh.
Life is good :)
