March has been insane. Still working out all the time, back isn't getting better, but not getting worse. Not finished unpacking, and sadly still have boxes in my car!
Work is CRAZY and I doubt it will ever not be crazy. But I always survive.
Just lots of stuff that causes me stress. I think overall I'm happy in my life, but sometimes I just can't do it when my stress level gets too high. What are the biggest stressors? Changes in job, moving, baby, death and marriage or divorce. Hmm... at the same company, but my job keeps changing. I moved around new years. and I have had 2 deaths in my family since Christmas. Yeah, little stressed! Just a little.

Busy Week
This past week was CRAZY! Our new project at work (or re-do for the 4th time of an old project) was ready for us. SO me and my wonderful crew worked until 7pm on Friday. On Saturday we came in 9:30-4:30 too. Made HUGE progress in what we had to do and it looks like we are going to get there... more than half way through at this point. Then next week I have 3 more HUGE projects ready for my department too.
I've still been working out lots, but had to skip belly dancing last night. This time change thing it a bit much and it takes me almost the whole week to catch up! I don't deal well with it!
And the weather in the northeast has been nuts too.. it rained for almost 4 days, well POURED! We got about 10 inches of rain. Funny when the highway is has 2 lanes closed and they have pumps to get out the water!
So with all of that, and my back being sore, I've been very cranky. I am doing my best to not be nasty, but when people are stupid, it can be hard. I have realized that I hate drama, but for some reason, I have been attracting it into my life. I don't know why or what is causing it. I'm doing my best to keep it at bay, but when some of that is at work... it makes it hard to deal.
I think I just need a vacation! That would be nice. Not happening anytime soon, but still, it would be nice! :)

Strip Fit
Tonight was a blast. I walked 4 miles at the beach in 1 hour and 15 minutes and it FLEW by! Then we left the beach and went to the dance studio for our class. Tonight I tried Strip Fit... think the info-mercials for "flirty girl fitness". It was SO much fun. I can't wait to take the class again. I asked the teacher if I can post the class on the fitness calendar as an event. I'm going to do it again on March 24th, I'm just waiting for her description of the class so I can post it. I can't wait! :)
Tomorrow night is my arms and abs class. That'll be good, but I need to watch how much I do on my shoulders. They were killing me after Sunday morning's class! My massage therapist couldn't believe how bad they were on Tuesday. I figure if I take it easy on my shoulders for the week, I'll be better by the weekend.
SO by taking the strip fit class, I did something fitness related that I've never done before... so I marked one thing off of March. When I see Maya Angelou the end of this month, that's my 2nd thing. So March is done. I won't need to worry about it until April, so that makes me feel SO much better!
I'm so glad that I'm still doing new things. It really has made a HUGE a difference in my life. I am so happy to expand my life with all of this. It will be interested in seeing what I do next. :)

I just looked through the whole blog. My first time writing was March 9th of last year. I can't believe it really has been an entire year! How crazy is that? Talk about going fast.
Funny to look back and see everything that happened and what has gone on in my life over the past year. I'm made lots of changes and I'm really happy with the way things have gone. I have made some choices and put myself in a good positions to succeed. This is great!
And this is my 100th post too! Funny!
I'm still working out all the time and I love it. I went to my bootcamp classes on Saturday and Sunday morning, then Monday night I went for a 4 mile walk along the beach then to my belly dancing class for 1 1/2 hours. Tonight I went to my favorite class of the week... my legs and abs class. Tomorrow night my friend Crystal and I are going to do the 4 mile walk along the beach then we are going to an exercise class called "strip fit". Not sure what to expect with it, but it'll be interesting! I'm looking forward to it.
I know that my body has changed, and I know that I have lost inches and I am stronger than I have ever been, but WHY isn't the scale changing??? I have been within 2 pounds for the past 3 months! It isn't going down at all. I'm bummed since we are still doing the skinny bitch club at work. It is so frustrating when I am working out 5 to 6 times a week and I am not seeing the scale go down. But I KNOW that I am gaining muscle. I can not only feel it, but I can see it. And my clothes are fitting SO much better and things are loose on my too. I'm sure the scale will start dropping soon.
I'm really looking forward to starting the running again. I just hope the doctor gives me the ok to do it. I think doing all that extra cardio will really help with the weight loss, especially since I have built up so much more muscle. I had so much fun last year with it and I can't wait to start it up again. I can't believe that it is now up to 14 people for April 26th! WOW. A month and a half away and 14 people want to attend! This will be REALLY exciting.
I guess the only negative things in my life right now are people who bring drama. I have worked really hard to eliminate drama from my life, but something in me is attracting it to me! I have several people around me who are creating it. I am doing all I can to not be put down or dragged into it. It can be challenging. In the past 2 days I have had to address things with 2 different people. One person I basically told her that I need distance between us because something in her personality brings out something in me that I don't like about myself. Basically, she drives me crazy and makes me crazy. I just can't deal with it. Then another person put me in the middle of a situation I didn't need to be in. I just pulled myself right out of it. I refuse to be part of that drama. That is one thing I am doing for myself right now... stepping away from the drama and refusing to be part of it.
