3 Day Weekends & 360s

Hope you're enjoying your weekend as much as I am right now.  The past week has passed in a blur but I'm getting by and having some fun in what little spare time I can find.  Me having these 3 days off has mostly meant finishing projects and getting some things that I've put off in order and also working on a few new ideas that have popped up.
 
Yesterday afternoon Dad and I bummed around after he got off of work and I was able to spend a little time visiting with him.  Over the next couple of weeks, I'm looking to make some fairly big decisions and I needed some help deciphering through everything. (Don't worry, I'm not quitting my job and moving to the Bahamas! I love this job and my group too much to leave now.)  But, it was great being able to get his opinions and see his excitement when I told him my thoughts.  And last night I was able to catch the Cards-Phillies game from amazing seats (free food and drinks, why yes I will!) with B. Dill and a few others from our company.  A great way to celebrate my first two months at the new place and ironically the tickets were given to us by the CFO of one of the companies I handle so I thought it was that much cooler that we got to go to the game.  (Yes, I am a bit dorky!)

In the meantime, I'm also trying to get back into my hardcore workout routine and diet.  I haven't slacked off a whole lot considering I still workout every single day but my diet and exercise routine hasn't been nearly controlled as it was a year ago so I'm working hard to stay on top of it so that swimsuit season will be a pretty one again this year. (It's amazing what a difference a job and friends can make on your lifestyle.  No more 15 hours a week in the gym taking out all of my stress and aggression like last year along with actually getting to be more social with my new peeps.)  So this morning, I kicked it into high gear once again as I did yesterday morning and switched up my workout a bit.  I fell in love with this new toy and it kicked my butt harder than I thought it would!

Obviously, I'm not the most graceful girl as is, but maintaining my balance while doing squats was quite a challenge.  Then I came home and found out there are DVD workouts with this too!  I may invest in one of these in the near future just so when I fall flat on my face testing out more moves, I don't create laughter among the entire gym.  I would be cheap entertainment though!

In any case, have a wonderful Memorial Day.  Thanks to all those who have fought for our freedom!
