The fog is not slowing anyone down today in Beantown!
Work is very busy lots to do and meetings to go to. I am getting a new phone today too so I hope it is super cute/functional since Verizon is paying for my FREE UPGRADE! Dave Matthews Band (not my fav. but apparently I am alone in this one) is performing at Fenway Friday and Sat. night so I will be sure to walk/stumble by and hear some tunes for free outside the stadium (suckersss who paid $100 plus!).
Also my boy is coming up to visit me! I have not discussed much about him; that is kinda my style. We have been dating for almost 6 years (gasp!). I don't really do commitement or long term dating... at my core I am a girl that likes to relax have a good time and go with the flow... which normally results in singledom. But my boy (I will think of a good nickname for him soon) has always known this about me and had made my life incredibly easy by being the most thoughtful boyfriend/best friend a girl could want and not stressing me out (most of the time) with future talk and "our kids" (WHAT KIDS?!?). The boy lives an hour away, but he does 99% of the commuting so its not difficult at all for me :-)
ICK of enough relationship stuff. Yesterday I ran my 3 miles on a treadmill which I hate, but I do not think Boston has gotten the "summer" memo... anyway so I ran it in 25 min and 47 sec which is a 8 min 49 sec mile pace?!?! I also felt like cr@p and got a little dizzy after (I have not been drinking my water). I am wokring on builing 2 perfect total body toning routines so that I can do one a week (2 total strength workouts a week). Once I perfect them (without proper trainig so forgive me if my research does not end well) I will share them! Have a GREAT weekend everybody! Hopfully somebody is enjoying sun and warmth because I definetly am not...

Water, Water Everywhere
Happy Hump Day! Halfway through the week is quite a milestone. But on a more serious note:
I have been dehydrated since forever. I hate water. About a month ago my body lashed out on me because I never hydrate it. This has been the third incident in my life that has resulted from dehydration. My body was dry, zero water and only drinking coffee will do that to a person. My digestive system stopped working and I gained significant weight. I began feeling nauseous whenever I ate.
SO anyway, this began to get in the way of my daily activities. I also felt gross because my body was looking more balloon like each day. When I went to the doctor's a month ago they put that scope thing they listen to your heart with on my stomach. They could hear nothing. My body had quit on me. I had to take they next day off of work after x-rays showed that my situation was much worse than expected. Treatments made me feel sick, but now a month later I am beginning to do better. Or so I thought.
I go to run my silly 2 miles yesterday (which I did in 17 min 30 sec) but I went slower than last week and it felt harder. At first I thought it was that my legs were tired from wearing my extra tall extra fab. heels over the weekend, but then I realized that weird feeling was thirst. All the alcohol on the weekends dehydrates me and I dont sleep because I go out. Then I am tired and chug large amounts of coffee (dehydrating more). ENDLESS CYCLE. FAIL.
So between 6 and 11 PM I drank 5 water bottles. Still do not feel hydrated, but I just need to make sure I am conciously drinking at least 5-6 bottles a day. Good luck to me...
On a more positive note, I am going to try swimming today (bathing suit is packed and everything). I hear 20 laps is good so I am thinking I will do the pool intervals 4-5 times and then hopefully tread some water. But first I will be going to the thrifty T.J. Maxx to continue my never ending quest for style without bankruptcy.
