Extra 30.

I cannot believe it is already march! I have had a crazy few weeks, having flown back to Boston last weekend for my dad's birthday, and finally some down time in DC this weekend. While in Boston, I was able to do a fun girls night with Carling, who is moving to Nashville, TN this week. Very sad to think more friends will be all over the country, especially Carling. We have been together since preschool. I already need to start planning a quick getaway to Nashville (never been). We stayed in the Marriott in Copley for the night and went out with some of her college friends. Quite a night which may or may not have involved driving around Beantown in some guys Limo. That's a whole other story. All in all, it was a fun night and so glad I got to be there for her last weekend in Massachusetts. Downside to being home was that little bro was sick with a 104 temp all 4 days. Pretty sad considering it was his own school vacation. I was just hoping I wouldn't catch it the entire time.

This weekend was a pretty lazy one, the first I have had in awhile. Did laundry, ordered Chinese, tried to relax, watched copious amounts of TV. I don't have much food in the fridge, so was thinking of making a favorite: breakfast for dinner. How good do these look?

If I try them, I will definitely post about the turnout. Speaking of the fact that I may want to cook such an ungodly unhealthy meal... I am thinking of trying a concept of running every morning. Now, I am not a morning person so this may be somewhat of a challenge. I want to try going to bed an extra 30 minutes early and waking up 30 minutes before the usual time, dragging myself out of bed, and tread milling in the fitness center for 30 minutes. It might be a good way to wake myself up and feel healthier. I have been struggling with stress from work and long hours, therefore my fitness level has not been the best. Being in shape is something I really care about and I am hoping this may be a good fresh start.

Also want to do some last minute fitness before heading on vacation to Los Angeles in 10 days!
