Frustratingly enough, I've gained 5 pounds since being here--but I blame it on stress. My face felt the stress too, along with every other part of my body it seems like.  My skin has since cleared up and I feel better about everything for the most part.  I'm even having *gasp* some FUN.  Still have a broken heart, but thanks for QueenB, I'm reading "Make Every Man Want You" by Marie Forleo.  Don't let the title fool you--It has NOTHING to do with getting guys lined up to date you.  It's about finding and emitting that strong women within yourself.  It's exactly what I needed right now in my life.  I've just started, but I'll let you all know my final thoughts after.  It's a short, easy read.

I've decided to push my usual hour workouts up to 1.5-2 hours per day, 6-7 days a week.  I know I need a rest day, but most times I like working out 7 days a week...just get that "lazy" feeling when I don't.  My short-term goal is a wedding back home, June 20th.  This gives me 2.5 weeks to get into a good routine, and hopefully drop 2-3 pounds. 

You know what I should be doing?? Writing my speech manuscript.  :-)  But I swear, I just cannot concentrate.  All I want to do is watch mind numbing television.  Or shop. Payday is Thursday.  DANGER. :-)

If I don't write for the next few days, I hope you all have a great week!  I'll be sure to update every few days or so with my workout log.
