I suppose the occasion is Mardi Gras weekend, but I think we are just using that as an excuse to get away for a couple of days. Anthony and I are going to head out of Lawrence tomorrow after I get off work and we will hopefully be in St. Louis by dinner time.
It's been almost a month and half since I've been home which doesn't seem like a long time, but it feels like it's been forever! Unfortunately, Craig will not be around because he's visiting Ryan & Becky in LA. Good news is that his dog, Johann, is staying at my house so it will be cuddle central! I will hopefully get to see Bret, if he isn't too busy for me. So that is also good news! Of course my parents will be there and I am stoked to see them as always, and there is bonus fun because Ady and Steph will be in town, too! WOO!
It's also Valentine's weekend, which is cool because I love holidays. I am not too excited about the whole spending 4.5 hours in the car thing on Valentine's, but I guess I will be with Anthony and isn't that what V-Day is all about?
I can already tell that Mardi Gras AND Valentine's is a recipe for disaster for my health... especially being in St. Louis because there are so many local restaurants that I just can't pass up. I suppose the key here will be portion control... hmmm... not my strong suit.
This time last year, I was bingeing on pizza and queso because I was giving them up for lent. I guess that starts next wednesday, huh? I don't know what I will be giving up this year, or if I will be giving up anything, really. It seems like dieting and exercise is already one big giving-up of sinful things.
Anywhoselbees, wish me luck this weekend! I would love not to completely throw my hard work down the drain, but then again... weekends are for fun! I am still struggling to find that perfect balance.
I LOVE STL! (that's me hugging the arch.)
Ask Anthony's dad about a song that can be modified to "portion control," it's very motivational
