Today's my birthday. I'm officially the big 2-4. Old as dirt, I know. :)
I've been on a diet and blogging break. As much as I'm loving law school and all the new friends I've made (We went out to dinner on Thursday to celebrate. Over 20 people came. I felt so loved!!), law school wears me out! I constantly ride an emotional roller coaster, but overall I know I'm on the right path.
I've been trying to go to the gym a few times a week, and I'll admit that I miss going and running 3-5 miles 4-5 times a week. I miss spending hours in the gym. I just don't have the time for it now, and I'm mostly using my workouts as a way to relax. I still work hard and leave drenched in sweat, but working out has become more than just a calorie burner. And in a lot of ways, I think that's good for me.
So today I'm thankful to have everything I need and to be 80 pounds lighter than I was on my birthday 2 years ago. The sun is shining, I'm getting ready to head to North Carolina for a few days, and I'm off from school for the next week.

Happy Birthday, Ms. Slackey! Hope you have a wonderful day - btw, I like your gratitude list!
Happy Birthday! I just turned 24 a couple months ago, kind of a weird inbetween age.. but promising! I also completely understand the work getting in the way of work outs etc, but that's how graduate school works. You can do it!
Happy B-lated Birthday!
Happy belated birthday! :) :)
I think that your approach to dieting is pretty healthy and I'm so happy that you're concentrating on the bigger picture (which is a fantastic reminder for myself too!)
