Its been so long!

So much time has passed since my last post! A brief update:

Bought a condo
Moved into condo
LOVE condo
Decorated and painted (and still painting and decorating) said condo
Got a puppy
Contemplated returning puppy (I jest!)
Work, work, and work
More work
Shoes arrived for my Brother's wedding...they don't fit.

That was a big wake up call. My fat feet do not fit into my 3" wedge sandals that I spent $70 on. It literally looks like a squishy roll was forced into casing then strapped down like its life depended on it. I don't know how I am supposed to wear these death traps if my foot doesn't fit. My sweet soon-to-be SIL offered to make up a medical reason why I, out of nine women, need to wear different shoes but that is not cool. Though...being a klutz is a serious condition and I do risk stealing the spotlight when I trip down the aisle! Anyways, her solution, though wonderfully sweet, does not work for me. My solution? Weight loss! I have to fit into a dress anyways and I will be standing with some hot ladies so I will need to look my best! On that note, SIL is going to have a good looking bridal party!

Ok so how do I go about losing the weight I need to? Well the first option that comes to mind is Paleo. I have seen tremendous results doing Paleo however it is very tough to stick to when you work 60+ hours. I want to try something similar with maybe a bit of leeway. I know that when I cut out sugar, dairy, and gluten, I feel wonderful. Maybe that will be my route? I don't want to overwhelm myself, not with work going crazy and the overall insanity that is my life, but I need to do something!

Next, I need to get back to the gym. I currently have a 24hour membership but it is SO BORING! I miss the different workouts that CrossFit had to offer and the community (though I am the shy girl that doesnt talk to anyone so I end up on the side doing my own thing lol) as well as the challenge of beating yourself and getting better at a movement. I would go back but my knee is messed up and I am limited in my movements. I will be that special case that I am sure all trainers hate! My brother disagrees but to that, I am not sure, maybe he has more patience than most or just wants me to get back. Ugh. Regardless, I will need to start with the gym and just get moving. There are so many inspirational people that I am friends with making amazing changes and I want to do it too! Blogging and writing down what I eat and do will help keep me accountable.

I am excited for the changes!
