Here Comes the Weekend!

WOW, I am so glad that the weekend is here! It seems like every week I'm looking forward to it more...and this has definitely been one crazy week!

It can be really puzzling and difficult at times to be in the sort of in-between space of leaving student status behind and officially entering the "real world". Most of my closest friends (including my hunky hunny!) are still in school, so they've been partying it up Mon-Sun, kickin it summer style with the 5 AM bedtime (if that) and the days that don't start til 2. On the one hand, I'm freakin ecstatic that I don't have to think about registering for classes next semester...but on the other hand, I totally feel like an old fart! I'm leaving the house when everyone else is going to bed; I'm going to bed when everyone else is just getting the night started. It's definitely frustrating at times. I think C-Red and I only really got to spend time together two days this week--most of the time our schedules are just so off that we see each other mostly in passing. And being the super-affectionate, super-cariñosa girlfriend that I am, that just ain't working for me.

I know that eventually I'll settle into my new lifestyle, but it's taking some getting used to 4 sho. If you would have told me a couple months back that I'd be waking my ass up at 6 AM every day to hit the gym before working for 8 hours, I would've straight laughed in your face. 6 AM??! I haven't gotten up so early since high school. And as a matter of fact, I didn't even consider working out early morning as a possibility when I first started working at Bulldog--I just didn't think I'd ever be able to drag my ass out of bed that early. I remember admiring Kate (my jefa) for having the discipline to do it when I first heard her talking about it, but scoffing at the idea that I'd do the same. Now look at me.

And by look at me, I mean don't. Not yet at least. I'm on a die-hard mission to be as cut up as some stir fry veggies by the end of the summer. And according to the flaky trainer I met with this week (who really seemed like he didn't know WTF he was talking about) I'm at a whopping 26.5% body fat. Yuck. It honestly seems a little high to me...but I guess the only place to go is down!!

More on my fitness escapades....and my alter-ego FiTGiRL.......next time.

I'm off to enjoy my summer weekend :)
