Holly Sue - Moving is fun

So I moved yesterday. I own basically nothing, so the whole process, including cleaning took only about 14 hours. I kept losing track of time, though, and forgetting to eat. Arg! The worst thing I could do right now is lose by body's trust that I will feed it regularly.

I'm assuming, now, that there will be some adjustments to my lifestyle slightly because of my new living situation. Previously, I was living with my boyfriend in a condo. Now, I'm renting a room from a friend of mine in her GIGANTIC house. LOL. Sharing a kitchen with her may be a little weird at first. But I'm always up for a challenge, right?

My work schedule is changing a little this month too. I'm working more hours, and I've taken on several new responsibilities. Time to REV it all up I suppose.

But I'm feeling great, eating is great. Pretty much everyone in my life has begun commenting on how I'm looking thinner. I haven't weighed in 2 weeks, but probably will tomorrow.

I'm also getting really creative and efficient with my cooking. I used to manage an Asian restaurant, so I know the recipe for lettuce wraps by heart. Well, by making a few alterations here and there in the recipe, I have a fat-free, meat-free, carb-free version of the wraps that everyone loves. All veggies and tofu. Yum yum yum. Even my Dad liked them, and that's comparable to saying that Paul Bunyon liked them. Ha ha - just kidding.

Oh, and I have some sad news. I went to register for the Jordanelle triathlon too late - it was full. I have some friends that are signed up that may not want to do it, so I'm considering sneaking and doing it under their names. It's against the rules. But don't worry, I don't cheat with my eating like I do with my racing. Ha ha ha ha. Just kidding. So Yuba tri is only like 2 weeks after and I'll probably do that instead.

I owe Rick lettuce wraps probably.

So I'm off to bed. My workout buddy has been out of town for a few days and she got back tonight, so I'll probably get to start working out with her again. Yahoo. (She now lives next door to me). Oh, and for the record, her husband, my brother-in-law JAMES LAWRENCE, just rocked his first full Ironman in California. He completed in 11 hours, 10 minutes. YEEEEHAW!

Ironman.

Iron.

Man.
