Hello blogging ladies!! It feels good to be writing again--I've missed the "journaling", it seemed to always help from feeling overwhelmed, and I'm feeling overwhelmed at the moment.
Just to refresh some of you on what I've been up to: Some of you may know I'm in D.C. right now, until November working at The Pentagon for my job--it's great. The city anyway. The Pentagon drives me nuts with it's stark white walls and it's crabby, non-smiling people, but the experience I'm getting is so worth it, that I'm sucking it up :-) I'm trying to live in up in the city, trying different places to eat (not good for my waistline, which I will discuss in a minute) and looking for awesome bars and pubs to hang out in! So far I've succeeded.
Where I have NOT succeeded is in my WEIGHT. I'm very unhappy. Very. I'm not sure if it's just all of the moving around I've done that I can't seem to get a schedule down, or if I'm just destined to be overweight for life. HA! Kidding. But it's frustrating. I have no idea how much I've gained since I left my comfort zone in Alabama, but I can tell in my face and clothes. The average person would cal me crazy and state that I look the same....but I feel gross. It's to the point where when I go out with the two other girls I'm interning with, that I start to feel insecure and "sorry for myself"!! WHA??!! That is not JENNY. At ALL. And something needs to be done....
I don't like beating myself up about it, nor do I like giving excuses as to why I can't get my ass in gear, but I feel discouraged....still.
One of my favorite bloggers wrote a post on failure, and how failing is good at times, because it just shows your motivation to accomplish something. I think maybe I should take her advice.....
Yesterday, I had a great workout, however! I'm not in shape to run large amounts anymore, as I did three months ago, but I did run, and it felt great--I did the elliptical as well. No weight work, save a few leg machine moves.
Go me.
I'm thinking of going to see "The Time Traveler's Wife" this afternoon sometime, by myself. I kinda just want some me time.
True Blood is now one of my favorite shows, and I cannot believe it took me so long to get into it...maybe because I never had HBO. I still don't have HBO, but I've found back episodes online to catch up :-) Stephen Moyer=hottest vampire, HANDS. DOWN.
So, here I am again, back in cyber space land, and hopefully will have more time to keep up with you extraordinary ladies :-)
Have a wonderful Sunday!
