I've been partying like a college student the past few days. It's been totally awesome! I really missed being social and I think going out with my work friends and my old high school friends is just one of the things I'm most thankful for in Portland! Sure I miss Kevin, he's in Hawaii right now, but this time was much easier then the first trip. I got to stop looking at it that way -- which work trip was easier then the other. It's just so much easier for me to be happy when I am alone when I have an emotional support system set up in the city I live in.
I'm running downstairs to workout with my coworker Mike in the fitness room. I'm getting chubby... 135-140 lbs! And I've really lost my figure because I binge eat all the time and never exercise. I'm alterring my diet and I'm starting to work out. So is Kevin, which makes it very nice since we are both trying to get nice and toned / drop a few pounds. I don't want to be 120 or less again, I just want to be about 125-128 I think. We'll see how my body image is then. I just feel fat and disgusting and I'm trying to not think of myself that way but I'm no longer a teen ager and my metabolism has slowed down. I'm doing daily posts on caloriecounter.com, this free weight loss website that I really like. YOu type in food and it gives you approximate calories, health information and will let you know how many calories you need each day to drop the weight by your goal date but it also gives nutrition information.
Just a note to my girls who wear red lipstick: check the websites becaue China has made a whole bunch that have lead in them... even some high end ones like Dior and Loreal. Just buyer beware if it comes from China these days.
Ok, gotta run and stretch.
