So as I’m sure everyone already knows, and if you don’t, I’m going to go Virginia for a wedding at the end of this month!  I’m very excited about this trip mostly because I haven't seen this family for almost 6 years. The last time I was there I was 18 and now, according to the math, I’m 24.  Get the hell out!  I’m almost a quarter century old.  So I’m a little interested to see how everything pans out though.  It’s gonna be weird cuz I’m an adult now and can drink.  It’s all very dramatic in my mind.  Kind of like the first day of school.  Will they like me? Will we get along?  Will I bore them?  

So my questions aside, I need to bolster my confidence a little.  Since it will be old stomping grounds and all that.  I have been trying quite unsuccessfully to lose some weight.  Mostly my fault, since I have absolutely no will power to stop eating the things I like to eat, but I’ve also been letting myself use another person as an excuse to keep me from going to the gym.  That person is now no longer a reason since I no longer have to plan my day around them (no not a break-up it was a car-pool thing) so that means I can stay late at work and go to the gym without worrying if I will be done in time.  The last time I had this amount of freedom I dropped 30 pounds in 3 months.  The Healthy average is about 8 lbs. a month so I was happily chugging along.  Then old friends resurfaced, I was feeling good about my achievements, and of course I stopped.  

Now I’m getting back in shape and hopefully,  I won’t let small things side track me again till I have nice little biceps and pecs that aren’t reliant on being cold (If you know what I mean then I’ve probably already explained the phenomena to you).  If you see me cheer me on!!!
