It's been quiet around these parts.

And when I say "these parts," I mean "this blog," which really means life has been hectic and busy and stealing me away from our special time together.

But for what it's worth, I think about you often.

Work has been, for lack of a better word, intense.

One of the girls in my department got promoted which means I have been taking on this new workload, which also means I've been working 9-91/2 hour days. I work through lunch and I stay late. Working. Non. Stop.

I don't know about you, but I, for one, have never had a job that required so much mental strength from me. Not only am I just 2 months into this new job and still learning, but I am just literally trying to make sense of how I have so much to do! I mean, really, working through my lunch break?

But, I will say, it's possible some good things are coming of this hectic situation. Although I guess it's possible there aren't. Let's just say I have mixed emotions about it and until I sort it out in my own brain, I'll save you from my ramblings.

In other life happenings, as of today, I am down 4.6 pounds! I only have 1.5 pounds left to lose in the next 20 days if I want to win this DietBet game. Easy Peasy.

Hold please. I have to go take the lid off my frozen lasagna I got cookin' in the oven.

Okay back.

You see what my life has come to? Frozen lasagna. Because I'm just too tired and lazy to do anything else. I'm sure this will do wonders in my weight loss journey. #not

So yeah. I've been doing pretty well with my exercising and eating.
In fact, I've been doing SO well with my exercising that after 3 straight days of running a total of 10 miles and attending a Zumba class, my body decided to gift me with a cankle!

Pretty neat huh?

So yeah. No more running for me since last week's shenanigans.

However, I did attempt a Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown YouTube video last night. Two words: Butt kicker. It was only 30 minutes and I felt like jello after! Today, my arms are sore. But, you know, that good sore where you know you've done something beneficial?

Anyway. I've got to go! The Dizzle's going to be home soon and I've got to get that frozen lasagna cooked and then disguised like I made it from scratch before he gets here! Ha. Jay kay. He knows I'm not that talented in the kitchen.

But I wanted to end with this.

Sometimes, when I'm feeling way too overwhelmed for anybody's good, and I just want to curl up in a ball and cry it out because I don't know what I'm doing with my life or where I'm headed or who I want to be when I grow up, and oh wait, I'm already grown up so I should know this information and why can't I just be traveling the world again, and yadda yadda yadda, you know, those overwhelming feelings? I just want to say that I think about this little blog of mine and I think about all of those special and thoughtful comments you guys leave me and how they make my day a little brighter.

And then of course, I drink a bunch of wine to numb the pain as well. (Kiiiidding. Okay fine, I'm not.)

Anyway. I'm calling this time in my life an "adjustment period." I don't know when this period ends, but I'm hoping that soon I will stop making faces like this:

And instead make more faces like this:

Stay tuned. I think it's just around the corner.
