catchin' up

wow, i can't believe tomorrow's april 1st already. this year is WINGING by! even though it's the last day of the month, which is not a big momentous anything, today starts the beginning of some good life changes for me. the last couple of weeks have been so crappy for me, health-wise... i got really sick, which killed any chances of working out or dancing... i've been eating for emotional reasons because an old friend pissed me off (note to self: stop punishing yourself for other peoples' issues!), and then add to that dating D, which means i'm eating out several times a week on top of my normal eat-out schedule for work. it all adds up to me feeling like crap, and looking forward to getting my act together. so i kept a food journal over the last week... my trainer at the gym is going to look over it (the poor guy, he's going to have a heart attack) and make some suggestions (um, yeah, don't eat out)... plus today we changed my workout strategy, so that instead of doing heavy-ish weights until my knees buckle, we're doing lighter weights with more reps to make it more cardio but still tone me up. hopefully this'll cut back on my can't-move-for-days-after problem, so i can still go dancing and work out for the rest of the week. i feel great this morning after an hour and a half workout, so i'm thinking this is the better path.

i'm bummed the weekend is going to be icky... soaking rain, according to the news. D and i were planning to spend the day walking around boston (good exercise), then hit the local market for fresh veggies and an artisan cheese and a bottle of wine, and make a good healthy dinner and stay in. now instead we're going to be trapped inside all day. hrm. (get your minds out of the gutter. i really did want to get some fresh air and exercise.)

Hey Jen,

I thought that you might be interested in this event. I'm going as a guest (as opposed to working the event) and I convinced Manni to go too. We were thinking about trying to get some lindy hoppers and such to get in on it. It looks like a blast. Check out the link.

Nope. i haven't gotten tix yet. I just read about it today and I'm gonna wait a couple of days to see who's in and who's out, not that it will really change my decision to go. I don't think I'll be working that night either so, it should be good to go.

Well... at least you'd be getting the exercise part, eh? ;)
