I'm so excited about this weekend because my mom is coming to stay with me for a few days. Granted, she's coming to MD for a quilting event, not to spend time with her daughter, but I'd like to think I'm a definite perk to the plan! She will arrive tonight and stay until Sunday... with many things planned in between. It is her birthday tomorrow, so I'd like to plan some sort of dinner outting at a favorite restaurant.
I feel like my life has been a whirlwind for the past few weeks, and I'm starting to pick-up the pieces again. Between 2 bridal showers, 2 bachelorette weekends, work being hectic, working out every day, spending time with boyfriend, keeping up with the goings-on of my dearest friends, and of course, watching Biggest Loser, I am just swamped on an hourly basis! I can't remember the last time I just sat around and enjoyed some peace & quiet.
In other news:
~ I started this blog after my dear friend Joe began his own journey. I thank him now for putting this idea in my head, because I do like getting my thoughts out on "paper." I'm also very happy that he's very happy with his life and all the wonderful people in it!
~ I haven't received any feedback on this blog from my wonderful best friend Chris... I hope it's because he loves it and therefore feels no need to enlarge my ego.
~ My weight loss is coming along! I have been working out almost every day (going away for two bachelorette weekends made that difficult), and I'm down 5 lbs! I'd like to slash off at least 20 more lbs... so I have my work cut out for me.
~ The March for Babies walk is this Saturday (4 miles to raise awareness about premature wee ones). I believe our team "Hayden's Loves" is up to 40 people or so, which should make for a fun group walking around Rockville! Shoutout to Kelly for organizing our participation in such a worthy cause!
~ I have yet to start reading again, which is extremely frustrating, and the list of desired books is really getting long.
~ My back pain is getting a lot better with all the working out / stretching / activity that I've been doing, so I'm very grateful for that. I have a back brace to wear at work, anti-inflammatory pills to take each day, Percoset to take when needed, and physical therapy for several weeks. I'm hoping that with the weight loss and really learning about my body, this pain will go away forever!
Happy Hump Day!
