Alright, so I haven't written in a few days. I went back to Erie for Thanksgiving. The 10hr trip up went pretty well, really there was no traffic. When I first got there I actually felt weird, 3 months away from home for the first time. It really seemed small. Roads, traffic, people. I was surprised that an area of 79 was finally finished after 4 years of road work! Only took me leaving PA (Ha-Ha)
The 4 days I was home really made me see I left a mix of things behind, but for a completely better life (atleast I still think so). One it was cold (lol) really not a reason to leave. I love my family, they are my backbone of life, always loving and caring. Though I definatly saw how fake my dad can be to my family, but guienune to his wife's side. I don't know why, I think it's because of her because she doesn't like loud or food that has flavor! They spend more often than not with her family and barely anytime with my side, hence less face time with el padre. Then when we're home he complains about my family, and I don't see anything wrong with them, they are good open people.
Thanksgiving night I went and spent time at my old bar to visit my old boss, also a dark life. If Ididn't leave I would still be drinking everyday just to get through my days. Also realized I do not consume alcohol like I used to, I don't know how much I had but lets just say the next day I had lost my jacket and my cell phone!!!!
I see how much people drink in erie, and how much of a problem I actually had. So saturday when I went to dinner with subway ppl I had barely 2 beers!! then at one "club" i could barely finish a budlite lime, I just wasn't feeling it. Met up w/ an old best friend and they all drank while I just talked. It was interesting how I felt, like outside, but also didn't care to drink. I told my friend that next time I come home lets do coffee instead lol WOW CHANGE
In my life it seems change has always been for the best.
Busy week this week for me, Trainer tonight, vet for rain tomorrow, lunch with the women in my lab, someone visiting this weekend(idk what to think about this last one).
Rain needs to get in to puppy school or i'm going to lose all of my carpeting in my apt!!!!
***I have no clue what happened to spell check so if some words are badddd I am sorry****

Trainer/Nutrition
So yesterday I went to the gym to talk to my trainer about what we'll be doing and about nutrition. I'm doing all of this just to learn all the better ways to take care of myself (though I'm doing fairly well as long as I stay on track) and to understand what certain excercises do for me.
I'll be doing full body workouts using pretty much cardio and resistence (no sit-ups). When I did the workout last week I was completely sore the next day from using muscles I haven't used in a long time, Its not that i'm over weight or never done a workout in my life. I am just out of shape, since I have not comitted 6days a week to the gym like I did for years. I have been very excited every time I head to the gym.
Every 2-3 weeks or so my diet plan changes, right now I am working with a "cleaning up" meal plan. This is were I'm surprised it really wont change, just more structured.
7:00 1 egg (or 3 egg whites) + 1/2 cup oats not sweetend
9:00 2 rice cakes with 1-2 tbs peanut butter or fruit
11:30 3-5oz fish (since i don't eat land animals i guess) + 1/2 brown rice + 1/2 broccoli + 16 no sodium almonds (which actually i've always hated their texture
2:00 2 rice cakes with 1-2 tbs peanute butter or fruit (today fruit)
5:00 3-5 oz fish, +1/2 black beans + small salad with 1-2 tbs vinegerrate
9:00 power bar
***2 cheat meals a week
***1/2 to 1 gallon water a day = 64-128oz water
only rice cakes i've ever enjoyed were the cheddarones which aren't really that great for you. but I'll give this a whorl since I don't eat "meat" but i do eat fish and tofu. I love carbs I guess since I'm Italian I love love love love pasta. Yet there are no carbs like that in my meal plan :(
I also have no clue how Thanksgiving will go since I am traveling home and will not have access to a gym, though I'll still probably attempt to go runninging the cold. Though the vacation will include copeous amounts of food and alcohol, I mean come on it's Erie, PA lol. That's all that they do there.
Today I meet again with her to go through my workout then tell me my homework until we meet next week. I'm actually worried that there will not be running like I enjoy, I love a good 4-5 mile run it makes me feel great and the runners "high" is just awesome once you reach it :) I do still want to run in races here.....when? We will see I guess.... Untill next time (probably later today since this counts for yesterday missing a blog)
