It's Friday Ladies! How fantastic is that?! I am beyond hyper today (I really do feel bad for my co-workers who have to put up with me today). I'm feeling great and no, I did not weigh myself and lose some pounds, I'm actually enjoying a natural high today! Why? Because A) It's Friday, B) my Aunt and Cousin will be invading my hometown tonight to go enjoy some girl time with my mom and I, C) the four of us will be traveling west to Enjoy a weekend without the boys at a nearby Casino and Hotel area, and D) Because it's Friday of course!!!!
Ok, so I might be a little over peppy today, but I am enjoying it. Since my cousin shall be keeping her butt at my and the bf's place, I totally did the 'we need to make this house spotless by tomorrow' move last night. I literally washed and vacuumed everything. I'm not normally so crazy, but it's the first 'house guest' we'll have at the house since I moved in, and I definitely want my aunt and cousin to see the house as impressive and not depressive. Is that being a little snobby? I'm not sure.
So as the weekend plans are filled with extravagant events, fun times, and lots of wine. I'm trying to keep my meal options open, but limiting the intake. You know, don't eat the entire plate of food, but pace myself and allow my stomach to tell me when I'm full. It's a step, and in all seriousness, it's the only concession I'm willing to make for the weekend. I mean come on, it's a girls weekend, and there are NO restrictions on girls weekend!

Lazy is as Lazy does...
My delinquency on post writing this week and of course over the last month as whole, can be chalked up to one fact: laziness. Yup, pure and simple. I have, of course, had a life in between there too, but it basically boils down to laziness and lack of desire to spill my guts on the web. But in reality this blog is my sounding board and my own personal therapy session. I can spill my day, my feelings, my aggravations, and am basically free of all consequences except my own guilt. That is why, I love it when you all bring me in check and make me realize that although I'm writing this for the most part as my own personal journal, I am doing it for you too. I look forward to your posts, encouragement, and yes, criticisms.
Life, has been interesting over the last week. I missed my weigh-in on Monday due to fatigue and plain tiredness. Unfortunately, the change of season hits me hard, and this year its worse. If you don't know Upstate New York weather: usually fall hits for September and the beginning of October, then immediately jumps into Winter. But for some reason Mother Nature cannot make up her mind this year. We've jumped back and forth between 30 degree weather and 70 degree weather over the last few weeks, that sometimes I feel like my head is floating and screaming at the weather to make up its mind. On the other hand however, it has made for a very beautiful Indian Summer. So take the good with the bad, right?
My exercising is going well this week. I've gone 3 times so far, but unfortunately will not be going anymore this week due to scheduling. The best and worst part about the Holiday season is having so many events, shopping trips, and family gatherings to go to. So how do I make up the exercise time I'm missing, when I have no time to exercise?

Day 8 - The Holidays begin...
Hello dear followers. I hope you all had as amazing a weekend as I did! I love the Halloween time of year! It means fun and excitement with friends and to me it kicks off the start of the Holiday season..the best time of the year!!! I will not lie, when it comes to the Holidays, I am a junkie and can't wait to see the lights, decorations, and music everywhere! But I also know that with the holidays comes the holiday food, and boy did I notice that the most this weekend.
Halloween was amazing for me. I dressed up for work and enjoyed handing out candy to all of the trick-or-treaters that showed up at our doorstep (the little ones are just sooo cute!). This year we got the big candy bars, so not only did it make us the 'cool' people on the block but it also prevented me from downing 3 or 4 of the candy bars while I was handing out the candy (it's harder to justify having 'just one' when the candy bars are big). And of course we had the Halloween party to go to on Saturday. Which I must say I looked adorable for! I dressed up as a 'naughty nurse' and my bf was a pimp. The party was filled with food and lots of drinks. I brought some Buffalo Chicken Wing dip...which for all of you non-Upstate New Yorkers is amazing (if not the healthiest) and is a great dip to bring to any party, so if any of you want the recipe let me know. So the dip went extremely well and I managed to not pig out on the food and alcohol and still have an amazing time with everyone. I was so excited!
Being able to enjoy Halloween without becoming a pig during the festivities gives me so much hope for being able to accomplish the same thing during the upcoming holidays. Because lets face it, the Holidays are the worst time of year for anyone trying to lose any sort of weight.
Weigh in tonight at my gym, wish me luck!!
