Better

I know we're only 4 weeks in to the new year, but so far it's a lot better than the last one. I think I had become so accustomed to bad things happening last year that I just look for it to happen now...only nothing really bad has happened as of yet.
Of course there have been the normal disappointments and occurrences but these things are to be expected. The ones that pop up out of the blue and smack you in the face are the ones I could do with out.

I just hope the good memories out weigh the bad this year.



Man I miss him.

Snow Day

They were calling for snow yesterday for Richmond and Fredericksburg. We happened to be going to Fredericksburg to visit our families...which was rather scary as it generally snows more in Fredericksburg than Richmond. We really didn't want to get stuck there overnight.
Around 6:30 or so we decided to leave - no snow yet. By the time we'd been on the road for a half hour we ran into the snow storm. Surprisingly, it got harder the closer we got to Richmond. Now, I'm not saying it was by any means a blizzard. But it did stick to grass and trees.

Woke up this morning to not much more snow...but there's a decent amount left from yesterday. So of course I took some photos...the dog was surprisingly cooperative.

Riding on the path we made

I made brussel sprouts for dinner last night. The kitchen still smells. Well the whole house has a bit of a funk to it.

Tonight, I have to finish a painting tonight so I can drop it off at my sisters - I'll post it once its done. Besides that, I have a birthday lunch and dinner with family this weekend.

Random Picture of the Day

Yesterday was a great day...got 2 bouquets of flowers, went to lunch with some friends, had a fun workout (if there is even such a thing), and went out to dinner at Outback. Rhett and Megan came out with us and Rhett insisted that the waitresses sing happy birthday to me. The amazing thing was that there were about 7 other people (just in our section) that were there for their birthdays as well. It seemed like happy birthday was being sung the whole time we were there.
Rhett also started coming to Crossfit and seemed to enjoy it. I think he's back there now while I'm at home sitting on my butt. It was snowing this morning and now its raining...so I decided to not go. The cold rainy days make me wish for the days at the beach. In honor of that:



oh and I've already lost 2lbs

Almost there!

25 years old! Woot!

What would you dooo....

Did pretty well yesterday. Weighed in-I managed to gain roughly 3 lbs last week. That's actually a good thing. I was trying to gain a bit of weight last week for the weigh-in on monday. This is because Megan and I are in a competition to lose weight.

Work out was pretty good yesterday as well...going again tonight. Trying to get out there 4 times a week.

I was waiting for dinner (which was taking longer than expected) and Jason came downstairs with a freaking klondike bar. I almost killed him...and then I was cranky with him until I finally got to eat dinner.

I think I might explode

I'm following the diet right now which means that I'm eating a lot more vegetables and fruits than normal. Its actually a fabulous diet since you don't feel like you're starving to death - just adjusting the quantities and types of food going in your body. While I am extremely full right now (as my body is still revolting against this thing), I can't help but think of funnel cakes and roller coasters...but mostly funnel cakes.

New Year

So I obviously haven't posted in forever. This is to keep myself honest about the next couple months as I try to stay on the zone diet. I'll document my progress, successes, failures...hopeful weight loss along the way.
