Changed Perspective

The past 2 weeks have been kind of a bitch. As mentioned in my last post, the plan to move back to Georgia isn't looking good. We're trying to sell the house - as much as I love it, we know we're not staying in it forever anyway. So on the offchance that we do move back, we'd just find another house in the area. My husband and I have been talking. He brought up the point that job security is alot better here... and posed the question - what if we could find an area in Maryland that feels more like home to us? Maybe we just need to get out of Columbia and find a house we like? Now I have traveled around the state more than he has and it is nice once you get away from all the congestion. He said he wouldn't mind a longer commute because he loves to drive. So we're looking around at places up to an hour from here. I could drive 45 minutes to work and be ok, I did that in Augusta every day. My gym might still be down here unless I find a Crossfit or functional fitness gym closer by. But other than that... I think we could live someplace more remote and find a halfway decent house, and then still be within driving distance for movies/food/the mall/etc. I am trying to keep an open mind about it at least. And since we've had this conversation I feel much better about the prospect of staying here. We just needed to shift to a more positive outlook.

#100 Lat pulldowns felt great

I ran a couple miles this morning, and obliterated my back and shoulders in the gym yesterday. It feels good. With all this life stuff happening I didn't get much exercise last week so this was much needed. I realized though, I definitely have to be that person who brings a little towel to the gym. It's hot now and my gym doesn't have great AC. And for some reason none of the ceiling fans are over the weight area. They had the garage doors open yesterday and it was really humid. By the time I warmed up and deadlifted I was already drenched. The sweat is to the point where it's distracting me. Lol I'm so gross. I ate pretty bad over the weekend but so far this week I'm off to a good start. I have a soft goal of losing 5-10 lbs and I can accomplish that just by not eating so much crap and cooking meals at home more.

This weekend we have open house at my gym again and I'll be there representing my store. It should be alot of fun, but I'll also be totally jealous of everyone working out around me.

I'm also really excited because we booked a hotel in Outer Banks NC and it'll just be the two of us for a few days. His mom is gonna come down for a day maybe but that's it. I really need to get away and relax at the beach.
