Glad to have you back
A few things have happened in the last two weeks that I feel I should share with the entire innerweb blog reading population. People who actually read my blog number around 2, perhaps 3... not sure. No one ever leaves comments, so I am guessing it's pretty much on the shoulders of Toni and Zach to give my blog attention. However, I will go forth with my raves and rants and other meaningless mumbojumbo that keeps me occupied during the workday.
The most important thing about the last month is that I am finally starting to feel like my old self. There are a few reasons that this has happened. chronologically, I reconnected with Dave, slowed things down with Dan, and recommitted myself to my weight-loss.
First, having Dave back in my life is so calming. I had been feeling for so long that some of my friendships in Boston were forced, strained, and just getting to be un-fun. Upon finding out that Dave was moving to Boston, I have to say I was relieved to know that he'd be close again. Seeing him after more than five years was something that wasn't awkward at all. We picked up exactly where we left off - although we had both grown-up, neither of us changed fundamentally. We still get each other on that level that you only share with a few people in your life. He's one of the greatest guys I know, and I am so grateful to have him back. But Dave isn't the only thing that has led to this change in attitude and outlook.
Although it probably took me a wee bit longer than it should have, I ended the three month stint with Dan. Not ended it all together, but took visitation rights down to once a week or less. There are no hard feelings between the two of us and I will be happy to see him next week at Iron Chef... but it is certainly freeing to not have to stress and worry about maintaining a fake relationship. I think we're both on the same page with how we want things in the future. We knew the whole time that "fun for now" wasn't going to last forever - not a a four night a week pace. Being free of that "commitment" made last weekend with Paul and Co one of the best weekends I've had in Boston.
Lastly, I've taken a long hard look at my weightloss journey and I've set some new goals. It's time to stop douching around, get myself back on program, and get rid of the rest of this weight. I am putting a plan into action to accomplish this by my 25th birthday - which is the end of May. It's going to be difficult and it will mean saying no to a lot of things I'd otherwise enjoy, but it's something that I have to do for me and for my health. So please don't get offended if I say no to going out, eating out, staying up late, or any other type of activity... I promise that once I am 15 pounds lighter that I'll go back to being the gregarious girl you know and love (i'll just be thinner and hotter). But for now please bear with me.
So thanks to Dave, Dan, and Weight Watchers for finally getting my head screwed on straight - or thanks go me for realizing the important things in life...
it feels good to be back.
