change will do you good
so, I'm back from Boston, Memorial Day weekend is over, Krissy is gone, it's back to basics. I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks, I haven't written in my food journal in a LONG time, I've been spending money like crazy and drinking more and eating more than I have in the past year. All this self-indulgent behavior has got to stop. Now(ish). No, seriously, NOW.
in fact, i gotta step it up. I've decided I can't afford the Madonna concert -- that's right, I'm stopping myself from purchasing concert tickets. and MADONNA no less. But the cheapest ones are WORLDS away in the balcony, I seriously can't spend Kanye West concert-type money for closer seats, and I'm not in love with this album, anyway. There, I just saved myself about 100 bucks.
I also brought my lunch to work today. Healthier and cheaper. I'm stopping myself from buying coffee downstairs when there is free coffee on my floor, even if it doesn't taste as good. And NO MORE dessert or martinis when I don't need them.... i quite possibly might treat myself to a cosmo after seeing Sex and the City, but that's IT, just ONE. And back to the gym tomorrow, and the next day, and boxing on saturday. I want to look amazing by the 4th of July. That's the goal. I definitely feel like I've gained at least 5 lbs back, taking me back to 25 lb weight loss. Good, but not good. I need to hit 130 by the end of the year, fingers crossed.
Today I was supposed to go see Green Day at the Roxy theatre, an extremely intimate setting, for only $20. I was willing to get there at 7am and wait in line when the box office opened at 10:30am... but alas, the line started at 8am and they are not even selling tickets until 7pm, and you can't hold places in line and there's no cell phones or cameras allowed and you have to go directly into the venue and it probably won't even begin until 10pm... jesus christ. Way to make it AS DIFFICULT AS FUCKING POSSIBLE to see Green Day. I'm practically heartbroken. I'd lose out on $100+ I'd make in a day, I'd piss off my boss, and I'd be alone all day if I had waited in line. But still.... Green Day. so close. so cheap. Up the block from where I live. I'm so dissapointed. Once in a lifetime experience. But responsibility sometimes has to trump indulging your appetite, even for live music.
