It's been a while...way too long in fact! Part of the problem is, I haven't much to update in terms of great/funny dating stories. As a matter of fact, I can't even remember the last time I went on a date. Don't get me wrong, I haven't been a hermit. As a matter of fact, I've had some of my most fun nights out in the past couple of weeks. But, that said, I have finally (and I mean FINALLY) came to terms with embracing being single. My profile is officially coming off match.com on January 27 (that's when my subscription runs out). It's not to say I won't go back, but I need to take a break. I need to take some "me" time and not worry about those stupid boys. Yes, I still talk to a few. Wish I was dating a few. But, overall my life is so full right now, I frankly just don't have the time nor the energy to put into dating. I'm really focusing on 'me' for the next 2-3 months.
Speaking of which, I joined a weight loss competition at my new gym. About 2 months ago a friend convinced me to go with her to Title Boxing (for those not local, it's a pure boxing/kickboxing club...membership isn't cheap but holy crap is it worth it). I've gotten addicted and while I struggled in December with consistentcy due to a nagging cold/bronchitis, I've finally been able to find my groove. I've been going 4-5 times a week. It's hard. It's tough. It'll make you sweat out of every pore. Joe, the trainer I go like to go, says you probably burn around 700-800 calories per hour doing his class. I'll take it. Not only am I 'boxing' like mad, for the first time in my life I'm counting calories and really paying attention to everything I put in my mouth. It's eye opening! I refuse to go on some crazy 'diet' but I am trying to keep within a certain calorie range every day and with that, watching my intake of protein, fat and carbs. I'm amazed...given my goal 'weight', I need to stay under 1700 calories a day (pretty easy to do as long as I can stay away from the silver bullets...ie beer). But, now that I am counting, I've realized I was probably putting down 2500 calories a day before!!! I wasn't gaining weight, but I certainly haven't lost any in a long time.
That said, I'm ready to work towards a new goal. I am working towards a new goal and I'm quite pleased so far...except last week....I went out and drank like a fish (literally...I had 12 beers on Thursday night!!!) both Thurs and Sat. This week I'm going to try not to drink...although we all know that's kind of impossible so I'm trying to only drink one night this week and limit it (everything in moderation!). We'll see what happens!!!!
