Day 64i've had some good times in the past couple of days. last night i went to see Cirque Du Soleil and if any of you have not seen it, go see it! i've never gone cuz i'm too cheap to pay $100 for a ticket but i won tickets and was so excited. those people can do the craziest things you have no idea. it was such an amazing show and i cant wait until i get to go see another one!one of the best parts about the show was who i invited to take my second ticket. i brought a friend of mine from college who also lives in LA that i havent seen in a little over 3 years! it was so fun and nice to catch up with her. i'm sure i'll be seeing her often now that i've made contact with her. then tonight, i went to a bar/club to meet up with a friend of mine that was visiting from new york...and i hadnt seen him in 2 1/2 years! he is staying with a friend of his who i didnt know until tonight who lives about 40 mins south of me so tonight was my only chance to see him. once again, it was awesome to see him and i only wish i could have spent more time with him rather than just a few hours....but it was still a treat. i love meeting up with random old friends.so i knew i was going to go out to a bar tonight for a couple of days. i was preparing myself by making sure i wasnt going over 2000 cals any day close so i wouldnt feel bad drinking tonight.  so luckily i havent gone over 2000 in over 2 weeks and even after tonight i still havent! i only had 2 glasses of wine at the bar for two reasons - i was driving and i was having a good time without drinking more. since i'm just getting past the "i need to go out and get shitfaced to have a good time at a bar" phase, (which i consider early 20's really), its quite an accomplishment to go to a bar and only have 2 drinks. its even better when i dont ruin my calorie intake for the day because of it. i still ended the day a little over 1900cals. i'm very happy with that and my self-control. i feel good. i swam this evening and i feel like i'm getting stronger and its getting easier. and even though my weigh in that never happened didnt go so well, because of my period i'm sure, i'm not worried because i feel like i'm still on the right track. i've been eating well and working out often. also, as i put my hands on my waist i feel like its smaller and just looking in the mirror when i'm naked i feel like i look better. its nice to be in a good, healthy place in life.

I bet it is your period. I once actually proved that I gain SIX POUNDS of water before my period! Sounds like you had a great time and the circus sounds really magical. I admire people whose bodies are all bendy becuase I am not supple at all, even when I am fit and slim. Also at Yoga I make this really wierd creaking sound in my bones! I wish I could see you dance. Here\'s to an equally good week!
