So, I tried this blogging thing, and discovered that I am neither as interesting nor as funny as I once thought.. or maybe as my mama told me I was. My mama says I'm pretty and smart too.. I hope she's not wrong about everything.
Anyway, I then fell off the face of the earth. But, being a little bored at work, I decided I should write about my life again. A lot has happened, actually. Let's see.. I bought a house on May 16, 2012. That is what I am calling my single best decision and greatest purchase to date. I absolutely LOVE my house. Sadly, since May 16, I have spent about 4 nights in my house, and several afternoons. I got a repair loan for it, since it hadn't been updated since the Partridge Family was on first-run episodes, and as anyone will tell you, contractors suck. We're almost there though. Fingers crossed. And toes, cross them too.
In the past 8 months I've also stopped talking to the guy I'm now calling the worst human being I've ever known. I cut ties to him and decided to let the girl who thinks she's been his gf while he was having a little bit of me on the side, have him. The last words from him were "have a nice life too." Well, thanks, I think I will! And actually, I HAVE been, especially since I'm no longer talking to YOU. Yeah, I'm still pissed. I'd love to give him a piece of my mind, but as I really have none to spare, I'm refraining. One day, the sting will have gone away completely and I won't even remember the bastard's name. For now, let's just call him Asshole. Good riddance, Asshole.
And, about a month after removing THAT thorn in my side, sex with an ex! BIG mistake. Ladies, don't go there. If you have any of your wits about you when that big strong man you're now "just friends" with leans towards you, smelling all manly and musky, gorgeous soft lips all a-pucker, RUN AWAY. Seriously. It'll only end in heartache when he, after calling you EVERY DAY from that moment, suddenly stops calling all together, and doesn't return any of your calls, text, or email you. Yeah. He's not that into you- he was on the rebound and feeling lonely and sorry for himself since he was laid off, and you were a warm body, convenient and willing. DON'T DO IT. It's not worth the couple of afternoons you'll spend crying at your desk when it suddenly hits you what an idiot you've been and how very lonely you really are. Trust me.
I started this blog about weight loss and my feelings and experiences since losing weight. I have gained back about 35lb. I am somewhat ashamed of myself. I know it happens often, but I was going to be one of the exceptions. I was going to be the superstar. I'm not feeling so twinkly right now. I got into a pretty bad streak of self-loathing for a while there, nearly got fired from my job, and finally snapped myself out of it.. or so I hope. I've only been doing better for about a week now. It's hard to get back on that horse, especially since I don't know how to ride, but I'm working at it. I've started running again, and lifting weights, and I have to say that I feel about a thousand times better now. The Baltimore Running Festival is my inspiration. Well, that and a few of my friends who have inspired me to kick myself in the butt and get to it already. I was starting to think it was a little ironic that I'm getting a degree in fitness, and yet I've gained back 1/3 of the weight I'd lost. Oh wow.. hadn't thought of it in those terms. Damn. I've got some work to do! One of the biggest motivators, though, is that my clothes stopped fitting. I was almost in a size 10, across the board, at my smallest. I'm in a 16 again. It's soul-crushing, really. But I'm determined, and I will do this! Sugar, convenience foods, and processed foods are my enemy. Still working on avoiding those things all together. I'll get there though.
Anyway, that's it for now. I think I've gotten it all out. Thanks for reading. I plan to do this at least twice a week now. I think it'll be good for me.
