That - I cant sleep, life is stressing me out and my belly hurts because of the stress - feeling.
I woke up at 4am this morning. Fooey. The first thought that popped into my head as I was tossing and turning was: I need to get on my bike...I will feel better once I beat the shit out of myself for a few hours on the road.
So I'm up just waiting for the sun to come up and watching country music videos...a new habit of mine...was never really a fan of the country music but now am slightly digging it.
I'm scared to get on the scale...I don't feel huge..but I've been living on shit food, so there's that.
My biz partner got me the best gift ever - a frikkin VITAMIX! seriously! I am in blender heaven!
Thanks for the love of my dress from the post yesterday...Banana Rep. maxi dress + spanx makes for a nice look.
Cat had a great post about letting go - I'm going to put all my drama on an island and move on.

oh hi....Its me ... the blogger who can never complete a challenge..
I suck...
Blogging every day fell apart after my birthday extravaganza. What else has fallen apart? Just about everything.
I've not been working out much, junk food has been my main method of nourishing my body and I'm fighting with friends. It feels like I needed to do some editing of people in my life.
So I've been sleeping 11 hours a night to deal with all of it.
So looking forward to visiting Cat and Robyn next week! I need to get away.
My actual birthday was awesome - spent the day at the beach then went to Shelter Island for drinks and dinner.. with some new friends. It was awesome - I do think my band is too tight though...I get stuck on most everything that is not ice cream these days.
I have an appt with dr in August and will have some fluid taken out.

Blogging Every Day ~ Day 21 ~a Rant
Today's Topic ~ Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel (a pet peeve, a current event, a controversial topic, something someone does that really ticks you off)
Wow - finally permission get out my soap box and rant away!
Is this thing on? Ok here goes:
1. Buying dogs and pets....WTF! There are millions of loving rescues that need homes. Its madness that in this day and age people are still purchasing dogs from puppy mills, I mean pet stores.
Nothing is as cute as a mutt! Seriously it is beyond me.
2. Legalizing Ganja, the weed, herb, marijuana - Why is this a huge deal? I personally do not partake in the hippy lettuce but I have few people in my life who use it to curb anxiety and some other ailments - including cancer. I know that its legal in some states - go Colorado and Washington! But not here in NY. If it were legal the state could collect taxes and save money legal fees.
3. Legalizing gay marriage...- Ok its finally legal here in NY...so I've got less rant power behind that one... but love is love and its not a decision....if it were a decision, can you recall the day you decided you wanted to be straight? yeah..me either.
4. Skinny people that can eat french fries and have only on girl scout cookie and let the box sit for weeks only have one cookie a day...not sure that is rant worthy but its annoying.
5. Close talkers and standers....Not sure if its a NYC thing but it seems like when its summer time all the visitors are all on top of each other - and me when I'm waiting on line...WTF man - back up off my personal space bubble
6. Verizon Wireless...seriously I can't handle them...I just got a random bill for 300 bucks for canceling something..that I never did...Man, you are a big company - get your SH together - I would dump you but AT&T is worse.
7. Enough ranting ..its putting me in a bad mood.
Happy Monday and focus on the goodness. Happiness is a choice!
I leave you with photos of the best rescue mutts on the planet!

Sunday ~
These prompts for blogging every day have gotten a bit boring so I'll tell you whats been going on with me:
I'm currently stuck on a piece of egg...bummer - I couldn't decide between eggs or a kale shake....booo made the wrong choice.
Weight has been in the high 160s...not thrilled but I do what I do.
Last night we had the fireworks in harbor right around the corner from our house - I love the sounds of summer - sitting in the dunes, drinking lemonchello and hanging with friends...pretty perfect.
I've been on the bike 3 days in a row - 2 days on the road and yesterday in the woods...it was hot as balls but I got it done and had fun doing it.
Mo has been working out with the trainer..he is getting really buff....swoon.
The week ahead is my birthday week ~ Here are the events and activities:
Monday ~ Early morning road ride and then work
Tuesday ~ Half day work and get ready for huge 80s party - last minute shopping
Wednesday ~ 1-9 and beyond - epic 80s party - we have kegs, cooks on the grill, a DJ and ping pong and much more fun and games...I can't wait!
Thursday ~ Beach day
Friday ~ work
Saturday ~ Work
Sunday ~ My Actual Birthday ~Early morning 70 mile road ride out to the Montauk Lighthouse and back. Then going to Shelter Island for drinks on the water and dinner at an Amazing Restaurant - vine street cafe....yummm

TTT - Friday edition
Blogging every day is taking a back seat right now - This heat wave is redic...
1. Yesterday up at 4:45 to meet a friend in Montauk for a ride. Yes, thats why I don't stay up past 9...no regrets missing out on drinking with buddies into the wee hours - its all about the ride...besides day drinking in the summer is the way to go.
2. Up at 5 to ride this morning with another friend. She is going to crush me..but I'm looking forward to that feeling of being drenched in sweat and turned inside out - sick, I know
3. Still haven't used the amazing new blender but plan on it after my ride - fridge is overflowing with Kale!
4. I have been spending most of my days this week working from the ocean - when I commit to something I go all out...and being a beach bum is a commitment ~ and I can email from the beach so no one needs to know I'm not sitting in the office..viva la iphone!
5. The dogs have been holding down the couch all week next to the a/c as they should
6. I'll be working in the office all weekend - beaches are way too crowded here on the weekend anyway...
7. Its been too hot to eat bad...or really eat at all
8. Made watermelon, arugula, feta salad with balsamic last night...yum.
9. I love swimming in the ocean as the sun is setting
10. Did I mention my friend and I are throwing a huge 80s party on Wednesday for our birthdays? DJ, kegs, BBQ, Ping Pong and lawn games...its out of hand..
Its going to be epic...

Blogging Every Day ~ Day 17
Forgot to hit publish on this....oops
Post a favorite photo of yourself and why.....
The story behind this photo is:
The temp was 28 degrees and about 30 mountain bikers went for a 18 mile ride and we partied in the parking lot after - I'm holding two cookies in my hands...(I weighed about 156 here too - I was so happy)
It sums up all my favorite things - bikes, friends and cookies
