new week and fresh starts
i'm going to try to type super fast and get this all out before i have to leave for work.
so ignore typos and poor spelling.
thanks.
this weekend was a magnificent blur of alcohol, smoking, punk rock music and friendship.
like so many other weekends.
what made this one different?
well... like last weekend, it featured out of town friends that aren't often in my house drinking.
and it also featured the first ever "show" for my friend's new punk rock band; you big idiot.
it was a friends & family show, so invite only, limited amount of people, blah blah.
basically, it was a house party with a show.
it's been a long time since i was at a proper house party in the suburbs.
and a while since i hung out with this crew.
fun times. lots of hugs and beers.
the show was wicked. and i am not just saying that out of friendship.
my jaw dropped. this band is good.
like really good, melt your face off punk rock.
i felt like a proud mother watching them play.
i can't wait until march... i'm doing a show at the cellar in vancouver on a friday night for them...
details/tickets coming soon.
you should be there.
this new band gives me good tingling feelings. big things could happen.
also awesome about this weekend was a 5 hour turbo mission to america with the bff.
it was great just to spend some time alone.
whenever we hang, there's always at least one or two other people around... which is good, because we're both those people that are like "hey, invite everyone over, let's all play together!"...
but the downside of doing that is that we never have a ton of quality one on one time.
so on saturday we had a great time... shopping (both found some wicked scores!) lunch at my fav, the olive garden (or as g would say; obesity garden) and then home for some hockey.
here's the kicker though... these awesome weekends are starting to really get to me.
while i always have wicked fun and try to have no regrets...
it's really not playing well with my healthy living resolution.
every week, i do so well monday-friday afternoon... and then friday night comes, and the alcohol flows... and i totally derail all my progress for 48 hours straight.
and yes, you absolutely can undo 5 days of work in 48 hours. trust me, i've been on this train for 8 weeks now.
so, once again... here is my lofty promise.
it's a new month and i'm coming at it with new determination.
today is my first day at the office, and starting tomorrow morning, i get up early for the gym.
and february is the month that i make a comeback.
so please... if we're twitter pals... harass me.
if we're friends in real life, send me texts.
make me answer to someone, because apparently answering to myself and this blog isn't working yet, lol.
i mean... it worked... and then i fell off.
and i need a kick in the ass to get restarted.
and i know there's a line up of people that wanna kick my ass, lol.
so here's your chance.

You can find the balance you're looking for. As a seasoned partier and fan of punk rock & other music shows, I know what you are talking about. I used to joke that exercise can give you "self-abuse" points - i.e. if you have a healthy body, you can bounce back more easily & hangovers aren't as bad. So... I will gladly encourage you & offer some good influence via Twitter! It's all about the balance rockgirl!

You know that as long as you go to bed early, working out in the morning will set your whole day in motion positively and make you feel fucking fabulous. You know that, it'll just take one day.
And anyway, you're like, the original health and fitness inspiration, I have no doubt that you'll find your groove.
