My boss and I went through travel schedules this morning. 

The next 3 months will be steady travel, but at least it’s not non-stop like the last 2 years. 

#funfact: In the next 11 weeks, I will only be in Seattle for 2 Tuesdays. (why I notice things like that is beyond me.) 

If you are in: 

• New Jersey
• Delaware
• Ontario, California (Ontario, CA doesn’t really narrow that one down, eh?)
• Dallas
• Oakland/San Fran
• San Antonio 
• Toronto

You should let me know so we can hang out. 

This is a little… weird and gives some mental images so there’s a break.

Did yall see Kanye perform on SNL last night? 

Does dating a Kardashian turn you into Marilyn Manson? 

This is weird. 

This week has been pretty…normal. 

Time with family, working out, eating better, etc.  

My brother is in town and N2 is pretty happy about it

Today was my last day at my current job before I move into a new role.  I am super (duper) excited to not be on that team any more - it’s pretty much the biggest weight off my shoulder imaginable.  

Tonight my sister and I went to get my mom’s Mother’s Day gifts (we’re planners. 2 days in advance? #boom) Then….I went shopping.  

I’d “chub-rubbed” through 2 pairs of jeans so replaced those and then got some new tops.  I needed them.  It was harsh on the wallet, but it’s practical stuff that will help me feel comfortable while I’m trying to lose weight. 

Oh, speaking of weight, my goal for this week (and the weeks in the future) is 2 pounds.  I HIT IT THIS WEEK! :) YAY! 

So tonight my life looks like this: 

Grey’s from last night, white zin and some photo editing.  It’s a good night. 

PS. The part of greys with Kepner and the music? OMG. 

I have been doing pretty well tracking food and sticking to my calorie limit (1600) on MyFitnessPal. 

Tonight I had 507 calories left for dinner.  I knew I was going out to eat with my family and was a bit nervous, but I figured I would do my best. 

They decided to go to Dairy Queen. Yikes. 

BUT! I stayed under!!! Grilled Chicken sandwich with no mayo and a small ice cream cone and I ended up with 7 calories left. And I didn’t feel deprived. I’m trying to factor any “splurges” into my daily calories to avoid going too crazy with the “well I’m already over” line of thinking. 

Now onto tomorrow. :)

I literally just heard that from the other room and dropped was I was holding to get to the TV to rewind and listen to that again.  

I think I need to print that out and mail it to people in my life.

It’s been a weird day.
