Holy Moly, it's been a month...

After moving to my new job (I got promoted to management in mid-May), there has been no time for anything anymore! 60 to 70-hr work weeks leave less time for family and friends, and even less time for working out. It's been a month since my last run... a month!!! When work is busy and stress is high, usually the weight comes off on its own (albeit in a very unhealthy way), but lately I've been feeling as though I've let myself go because in the short spurts of leisure time that I can find to spend with family and friends, I try to compact in there as much merriment and relaxation as possible; this includes food, drink, and plenty of unburnt calories. As a result, I'm soft and and flabby! (.... Oh, but that juicy ribeye, fries, garlic bread sopping with butter, and cold beer I had at Mitchell's dad's house was so good...) I need to get my flabby bootie into gear!
