So, I've been slacking...

Alright, alright....I know. It's been over a week since my last post. I don't know if it's because I've had a lack of activities to write about or I just haven't had the urge to write. So, I'll give you a quick run down of what's been happenin'...I spent some fantastic quality time with my nephew and sister-in-law last week, which included frosting some of those pumpkin cookies I made with my nephew and making a trip to the doctor's with my sister-in-law to see my soon-to-be niece's heartbeat. That was a pretty cool experience, and I'm excited for her to be here! Let's see...My boyfriend and I also attended his fraternity's Pig Dinner(one of Phi Gamma Delta's ritual traditions), where I had entirely too much fun, but enjoyed a visit back to the ol' stomping grounds at ECU. In other news,  I had an interview on Monday, and I think it went well, but of course, the only way it could have gone the best possible is if I get a job offer sometime this week. Not getting my hopes up, but it would be pretty fantastic! I've also been helping with the logistics of seating around 140 people for a wedding, and let me tell you, that is both frustrating and enjoyable at the same time.

Frosting cookies!

 

Quite the model...who happened to like the frosting more than the cookies!

Along with slacking on my blogging, I have also been slacking on my exercise since last Tuesday. Aside from walking around the UNC medical campus in heels(which might I add is quite exhausting on the feet), today was the first day in over a week that I exercised. Pretty terrible, but I just got busy and there didn't seem to be a good time to go. On my run, I decided that I have to stop making excuses for not exercising or not eating right, and just push forward. I just need to make myself exercise first thing in the morning, and if I wake up late, it just means that the rest of my activities for the day need to be pushed back to make room for exercise. This will work until I can get a job...and then I'll have to come up with a new plan. As for eating better, well...I'm not doing terribly, but there are still those days that everything goes out the window(for example, special events with adult beverages), and I need to stop over-indulging in those cases. I think special occassions present that problem for everyone, but I just need some more self-control. It's a constant work in progress!

Anyway, I hope this post makes up for the last week of slacking...Happy Hump Day!!
