"Climb every Mountaindew"

I drank diet Mountain Dew around 10 o'clock this evening. I am full of the brightest ideas. It is however, a three day work week, so I suppose I can power through. My only serious problem with lack of sleep days?....

Voracious appetite. Scary. Tired = hungry. Not good.

So, like every will-be bride, I am looking to lose weight. Nearly the entirety of the internet knows I lost 12lbs this summer (insert Rocky training montage here). Most of this was due to a strict diet change. Between the application process at Bank Street (which I assure you, is epic. Like 12 written pages epic) work, and the non-matriculated graduate level course work I'm doing, I've been getting a little stressed. Put the monetary woes of FAFSA, a handfasting, and this loan hopeful woman is leaning towards the bread products. And ice cream. 

So between September and now I've put on around 5 lbs, take it or leave it. This only, ironically adds to my stress.

But, I have a plan of action (insert dramatic, sweeping cape moment here).

Starting next Sunday, I am back on my nutrition program (similar to what I did this summer). I already do kettlebell class twice a week, and some weight training. I'm adding back in the running, because I'm going to run this half marathon in Queens this March . I haven't signed up yet (I'll cough up the money next month) but I did sign up for this 10K next month!  I ran 6 miles today, and it was rough, but I have confidence that it will get easier. I'm going to start training for the half marathon this week as well.

And I'm also going to fiddle more.

How does Cat de-stress, you ask? Why, by scheduling EVERY MOMENT so the choices are clear!

We'll see how far my ambitions can take me.
