Dizzy Angel

I am so so so tired right now- but my body is so out of whack that I cannot sleep.  Where do I begin?  I have been HORRIBLE to my body the last few days.  Seriously HORRIBLE.  I know I shouldn't have been, but it happens.  I've just been playing with my friends so hard that I haven't properly taken care of myself.  Friday night I went to an Angel's game with some of my friends, and then Saturday night we went dancing.  Well, Friday night we decided to take a girls trip to Vegas which meant that a serious rampage would have to ensue immediately following this decision, so at the Angel's game we pigged out- that being the "last night" before the rampage began.  Ha.  Saturday I worked out pretty hard (because of my new rampage) so I drank a Rockstar Sat night at 11pm because we were going dancing and i needed "energy".  MISTAKE.  Couldn't go to sleep until 5:30 am.  That crap is so bad for your body.  Seriously- don't ever drink it- it's liquid meth I think.  Well, today I had a straight hangover (no alcohol was involved last night), I was NOT hungry, but in true hangover fashion, proceeded to eat large quantities of food in attempts to give my body something normal.  Tonight I proceeded to go to a dessert party where several of my other friends and I started doing this "sampling" of all of the desserts, and 2 hours later i am so full of sugar that it's 12:02 am and my neck is killing me and I cannot go to sleep.  I feel so jacked up.

The good news is, I've been laying here in bed plotting my plan for the new rampage as it continues tomorrow.  I realized as I'm planning, that basically my workouts for the month of July were pretty horrible.  I ran a lot a lot, but I didn't do anything else and I ate horribly, so I really didn't accomplish much.  This month I am going to step it up and add weights back in, and possibly more yoga too.  I'm also seriously considering sugar restriction.  I know it's tough, but seriously my body needs a detox or something right now.  I've had several friends tell me some of the benefits they are getting from yoga and I know when I was doing hot yoga more consistently before, my body was in better shape to run.  So I'm hoping to make yoga a part of my routine at least 3 days a week this month.  I feel like my goals are pretty lofty right now though.  But then again, I have a lot of work to do before this Vegas trip I'm going on.  AND I just want to feel normal again.  I remember when I didn't feel 85 years old, and I wasn't hobbling around in pain all the time.

In other news, again, I was laying in my bed trying to make myself go to sleep, and I was also thinking back over my weekend and my friends, and I just want to mention that I am so incredibly happy right now.  I have the best friends in the whole world.  3 of my closest and dearest girlfriends and I spent the whole weekend together and I just prayed tonight a little prayer of gratitude for such amazing girlfriends in my life that love me, support me, and keep me laughing and smiling at all times.  Here is a cute picture of 3 of my best girlfriends and I at the Angel's game on Friday night.  I have a few other close girlfriends that I love too, but these three are special to me because they are the ones I'm with the most- as they are all single and live right here in CA with me.  We had so much fun this whole weekend and I seriously cannot stop raving about how much I love these girls:

They just understand me.  I love my social life right now- I am out meeting people almost every night and laughing hysterically with these girls at all times and I just love love love my friends and am so thankful for them and the joy they bring in my life.  We seriously do not stop laughing, and I love it so much.  Here are just a few more fun ones from this same night (I can't help it!):

My life right now is amazing.  I'm so grateful.  And I think things are only going to get better from here!!!!

xoxoxoxo my loves!!
