A good Vacay can take life’s stresses away =]

 It feels so weird to get to sit here and write a blog it’s been soo long.  I would like to say this will be a shorty, but since it’s been awhile it’s likely going to be lengthy, but I’ll try to trim the fat lol…  the 14th was my little sisters 18th birthday!  I still can’t believe she is a legal adult.  I did great on her bday ate lunch at mongolian bbq and little did I know they’re sauces are all 70 cal and under per serving that made my day  I ate a tofu veggie bowl it was delish!  After lunch I ran around like a chicken with their head cut off getting food for dinner and helping prepare dinner.  My sisters friends made her a cake and when they brought the cake it ended up being 3 cakes and about 10 cupcakes wholey moley!!   I couldn’t believe it, good thing they are teenagers and most of it got eaten and I sent the rest home to an aunts house for her kids.  The rest of the week was great I’ve been doing good with working out even too.  I went out on the 18th for a bachelorette party we took a limo for the 45 minute drive to the bar and got in free and had VIP for the night.  We got a free shot (of what I don’t know) for the whole group and a free glass and bottle of champagne I thought that was great.  After those drinks I had an ameretto sour which was too sweet (I’m not used to all that sugar) and traded with my flamboyant gay friend he had a coors light beer.  I thought it funny him being gay had a manly drink and I had the girly drink and we ended up trading… it made me giggle.  I think I ended up having one more drink after that so not to bad for the night, which I ended up dancing for 3 hours straight and when I say straight I think I sat for maybe 10 min and I was up dancing for the rest of the night, I was litterally sweating when we left, eww grosse.  I had a family reunion this past sat and I ate not so great, but kept the portions in check and I went and played in the playground with all the little chillins.  Little kids love me, I just don’t know why,  it’s ok though they keep me moving.  I pushed my 10 yr old cousin on the tire swing for what felt like hours and woke up with sore arms and shoulders the next day.  Today was my day off which means lots of working out.  I woke up early today to shop for the wedding I’m going to on sat and had to be back by noon cause my sister had a job interview where I work and I’m happy to say she got hired.  I went to my aunts house to walk on her treadmill which I did for 2 hours straight!  My hips have never hurt so bad in my entire life!  I got home late which meant a late dinner, but I kept it light and when I added my calories up for today it ended at 700!!  Oops good thing I write everything down and add it up BEFORE I eat it so I had to add a couple things to my dinner to get more nutrients in.  I guess thats what I get for eating fruit and veggies all day instead of crap. Breakfast is always oatmeal and steamed apple with yogurt and I had a huge spinach salad for lunch and dinner was a squash, sweet potato and tofu spagetti with homemade sauce I had to add the sweet potato and boca chik patty for some protein and make it closer to 1,000 calories.  My new favorite thing is getting a bunch of fruit together and making fruit salad then I just take some out of the bowl its in each day and munch on that instead of crappy food.  Oh I forgot to tell ya where I’ve been for those who know Michigan we have a vast “Up North” it’s where all the old people go if they don’tmove to Florida.  It’s also where every Michignader vacations.  I think most all of us look forward to the summer so we can visit our cabins and go to the lake and lay on the beach, this is where I was for a few days after my sisters bday.  It was kind of unexpected, I mean I was trying to make plans to go since it was my family vacation, but i had work and figured I couldn’t go, but things worked out differently and I got to go for a few days.  Now generally I HATE camping, but our family cabin is actually a house becuase we have a ton of land up there oh and when I say family I mean 4 uncles and all their wives and offspring it’s not to many of us, but enough.  My dad and stepmother and brothers take a 5th wheel up there and park it on the land I however refuse to sleep in it so they make room for me on a bunkbed lol.  The rest of the family pitches tents on the land.  Most of my dads side is guys I only have 1 girl cousin thank god she’s my age or I’d go crazy on family vacays.  It was fun up there we mainly just walk the land a lot take nature hikes and go to the lake, but it’s always to cold to swim for long.   I hope ya’ll missed me cause I sure missed you… I’ve been wondering how Holly has been and if she’s broken the 170’s yet and how Becky is doing with Rb, How Nancy is doing with her classes and her running and life, if Loni is doing good with her job and taking off those lbs like crazy!, how Kama is doing down there with the heat & her AC and if she’s still kicking butt with Jillian, I’ve been dying to know if Maria is still keeping up with working out after working at the camp, and Journey how she is doing with her running! I’ve just been thinking all these things while I’ve been gone so now I’m going to go get answers!

    You were faced with many opportunities to blow it and you totally survived. Thats so awesome. It feels good when we go out to a party, bar or any event and don’t blow our diet. I miss that feeling, its been awhile since I was that strong. Ill remember your blog next time and hope it will give me strength to pass up on food / beer that I shouldn’t have. Thanks.

    Well, as for me going to the gym after camp????? it happened twice, and hasn’t happened since! I’ve been doing ok though! I might actually go to the gym now though…I have been thinking about it this past hour and had gotten lazy, but you mentioning it in this blog has given me a kick up the ass!!! I’ll let you know later if I make it! I should because am going out for drinks later so should try and counteract that!! :)
