*Please update your bookmarks to my new website: I don’t know about you guys, but when I’m home I instantly go into vacation-mode! I’ve been eating out, shopping, and being all sorts of lazy… 
I ended up going out to dinner with two of my best friends last night at the Cheesecake Factory and had two glasses of wine– something I almost never do! I rarely drink as it is, but if I do, I almost always keep it to one glass. I woke up this morning with a killer headache, so I skipped my morning run. 
I ended up taking a couple of ibuprofen, then slept-in for another 45 minutes. Lesson learned!!!!
This morning I was NOT in the mood for breakfast. I think my lack of exercise and the heavy dinner I had last night (Roasted Vegetable and Goat Cheese pizza– yum!!) overloaded my digestive system. So I took it easy and decided to just stick to black coffee for a while:
From a cute local coffee shop near my office. 
Can I just say, I love working in my office!! I love being around my co-workers and the all the social interaction that comes with an office setting. I wish I could be in my office all the time, but I’m very lucky that my boss is kind enough to let me work long-distance in Los Angeles. I would miss my husband more than I miss my office.
Lunch today was NOT the healthiest… I waited until 1:30 pm today to eat, and when I finally got to Panera for lunch, they were out of the black bean soup I was craving!! Dang it!!!! I ended up using that as an excuse to get broccoli cheddar soup instead… bad me. Paired with a tuna salad sandwich on whole wheat, it made a very tasty lunch, but I know it was a little heavy on the calories…
This always happens to me when I’m on vacation! I come here with the best of intentions to eat healthy and stay on track with my good habits, but something always happens that gives me an excuse to get off track– and I end up splurging for a whole week! Since I’m here for over a week, I’m determined NOT to fall into that pattern again. I’ve been there too many times, and my pants are already a little tight from Thanksgiving weekend! There’s not much room for more splurging!
So, tomorrow is a new day and I plan on getting it off on the right foot by getting in my morning run! I’m charging my ipod and going to bed early, so I’ll have no excuse for not getting outside!! I might even fall asleep in my running tights! It’s getting chilly here, so if I’m already warm in my running tights, I have a better chance of going.
Now I’m going to sit back and enjoy watching Castle… I have a bit of a crush on Nathan Fillion! 
Yep… that’s me with Nathan Fillion!! I was too big of a wimp to go talk to him all by myself, so I dragged my friend Heidi with me! He’s super-cute in person.
Alright, I’m off to enjoy him on the small-screen now….

Great post!! I know how you feel after a couple glasses of wine, I tend to keep my glasses to a minimal as well. The trick is to drink 2 glasses of water between each glass of wine
What kind of work do you do?? I love it when people have happy and healthy working environments!!
Have a great night doll
XXOO
Good idea with the water– I’m usually better with drinking water, but I guess I got distracted while catching up with my friends!! Ha ha. Lesson learned.
I love, love my job! I illustrate greeting cards for Recycled Paper Greetings. I work for a small company, and I love everyone I work with– a nice change from my college waitress job!!
If you pick up a greeting card at Target, Kinko’s, Whole Foods or World Market– check to see if there’s a Tomato logo on the back! There’s a good chance I did it.
I hear you on being lazy…I finally hope to go for a run in the morning!
