OMG, I dont know what the problem is but the last few days i have been craving sugar & I am most definitely not a sweets kind of person… give me salty & im in heaven but lately I have just needed something sweet… it driving me nuts because im trying to eat right & i just end up having a little something here or there…   Tonight hasnt been a great night, im having a real problem being just here with one friend, i NEEEEEED summer to come so that i can go out & meet new friends because this just isnt working… We had pre boyfriend – Yes lets go out & do the things that we planned to do when we moved here! We now have post boyfriend – No, i dont want to go to that thing we were going to buy tickets to, im going [...]

So, I did say that I was going to drink when I was in NYC but not get to crazy… That was a success.I had a couple of drinks with friends & made sure that it was only a couple of drinks. I know that this isnt the point of HSM but I still feel like it was a success compared to what a night out would normally be. I had the most fantastic time catching up with friends that I havent seen since November & wont see again until December. We went out Friday night for some drinks & dancing after they had been at the Knicks game… OMG, I have NEVER seen girls dance the way that we saw in this club!!! It was crazy, they were fully grinding, skirts almost over their heads… slight exageration… what is not an exageration though is that they started dancing with [...]

What a couple of days! Yesterday I woke up to a my sister’s status being “I miss my big sister” so lovely! And it was a pretty good day after that… I think.. I can barely remember now. One thing that did consume a lot of my thoughts is this weekend…   Can one do the city that never sleeps on just soda water when friends you haven’t seen for 6 months & wont see for 6 months are yelling out SHOTS!!! continuously.. Realistically I don’t think so. I am considering that I might give myself a night of this weekend, yes, I know, its only been a week… BUT I’m just trying to be realistic so that I don’t suffer from self depreciating guilt if I do end up drinking. Also, these are my friends, like my proper friends, who I know wont leave me if we get drunk, [...]

Day 2… And I feel great again! I had the best night sleep last night even though I kept waking up regularly throughout the night but I think that was just because I was sleeping so well, my body thought that we had gotten through the whole night, and I didn’t want to sleep in & be late for work again!   So today I am back to the gym which is super exciting… who would have thought that I would want to go & torture myself on the stair machine… I do though! My friend is doing a marathon in May across the great wall of China & she has found out that she will be facing 5700 stairs during her race… My goal is to try to be able to do that many stairs so that I can feel her pain! well… some of her pain.. she still [...]

The day is finally over & im home… while i should be starting to pack for my weekend in nyc i just want to lay here & do nothing… I have been thinking all day trying to work out why i drank yesterday & to be honest, if i had just had a couple of drinks i wouldnt feel so bad but i didnt, when we got home i was feeling fine other than that niggly little feeling that i should have one more.. hello vodka! So while my intentions are always good my self control is not & today is the result… I have stopped drinking before, when i was about 17 i decided to stop drinking after a big party one night where an older, much larger, guy spat on a friend for some reason & i saw fit to hit him.. i decided then that i didnt [...]
