HELLO GORGEOUS! I saw you on my activity and I was like VAL! I haven't talked to you in a while - miss you :) I hope all is well with you!

HELLO DOLL! 😘 So nice to see a message from you at the end of a long workday. I miss you and I hope you’ve been doing well. I swear I’ll be back here more often as we head into warmer weather! No more hibernating for Val.

Wondering if you might chance have a quick link to THE SCENE from Sunday? Trying to show my lovely friend how amazing it was and I can't find a link anywhere :(

Sorry, I don’t have one at hand. Anyone?

Hey beautiful! It's been so long since I have seen you on my dash -- which is more likely due to my insane work schedule, but still :) HAPPY TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACE!

Hey sweetheart!! It was so nice to see this message this morning.

It’s definitely not you and your crazy schedule, although I can only imagine how busy you’ve been! I’ve been really distant from this community and my blog for some while now. I poke my head in from time to time but for the most part, I’ve been silent.

I think I’m ready to slooowly come back and start posting things again – my husband and I are looking forward to making March a big month of changes and it’ll be different, certainly in a good way, having him make positive healthy changes along with me.

I hope you’ve been well, my dear. I see you’re counting down to the honeymoon! So exciting! Thanks again for checking in on me and I swear, you’ll see my face around here more often pretty soon! 😘

I’m working from home today... which means....

I’m back to my good habits!! I’ve worked out twice - which is totally unlike me, but I almost feel like I have to make up for being bad Sat-Mon, GOD who can RELATE TO THAT FEELING?!

So in total, I’ve got 60 mins of treadmill incline variation walk. I’ve also gotten two loads of laundry done, folded all the laundry that’s been sitting in the sad laundry room unfolded, and now I’m about to get all of that away before hopping into my next remote meeting.

God, if I could literally just do what I do remotely and provide kind of like an ad hoc instant service for clients, I would absolutely start my own business. I feel like I need a break from the madness and hostility of my current company - but I feel trapped because I ALSO want to have a baby next year. And you know, god bless it, I can’t have both ;) 

HAPPY TUESDAY Y’ALL!

Daily Recap - Friday 07.08.16

Friday was a really good, really fun day (I say, reflecting on the day while sipping some green tea on this fine Saturday morning). The only thing that wasn’t great was dinner / drinks. But we’ll get to that.

I got up and out early and headed to the gym as usual. My train was delayed getting there, so I had less time than I normally would have, but it worked out alright because my back was a little sore / tight. So I did 35 minutes of really relaxed cardio - very light.. I think I hit 2.1 miles - followed by lots of stretching.

Fridays are bagel days at the office, but I wanted something that would keep me fuller, longer.. get more out of my caloric buck, if you will. So I opted to buy a veggie egg white flatbread. Solid breakfast choice. Lunch was easy, because I packed it -- a turkey sandwich, same thing I’ve had all week. I love turkey.

After work... well. My company, every year, plans a big event at Citi Field. We all buy tickets at a reduced rate, bring our family and friends, and go to a Mets game together. The ticket package includes seats of course, plus a choice of hot dog & fries or burger & fries, and unlimited beer for three hours. I bought the package tickets months ago. I knew last night would be a bit of a splurge, so to speak. So I had a burger - it was delish - and enjoyed my fair share of cold beer, good conversation, laughter... we got rained on, which I have to admit felt amazing after the stiflingly hot weather we’ve been having. I had a lot of fun, and so did B. I tracked everything that went into my mouth honestly, adding up to about 2900 in all. That would typically make me freak out a bit, because that is waaaay over what I would consider my ‘calorie budget,’ but this event had been planned for so long and I really don’t go to more than one baseball game a year, so. I’m not freaking out. It’s all good.

Daily Recap: Wednesday 6.22.16 A "get back on track" kinda day. Not the most active day step-wise, but a pretty good day mentally. I woke up frustrated with myself for being so lax about my goals and my habits throughout the beginning of the week. So it was a day to refocus and reenergize. I made Skinnytaste baked chicken parm for dinner, although somehow mine doesn't look nearly as pretty as hers. Either way, B said to me as I was cooking, "I'm so excited for a home cooked meal." It's been too hectic with going out and whatnot lately, so that's another thing I'll work on. Cooking at home makes it so much easier to stay within my calorie goal. Thanks for hangin in there with me, accountability buddies! I hope you are all starting off your day well. Let's get it! @mybigfatfitlife @thassrightputinwork @madisonrobingetsfit
