First post!

Welcome to Friends Let Friends Kick Each Others Asses!

I thought the green colors were quite fitting considering it's finally spring, even in Minnesota. There are thunderstorms in tonight's forecast! Woot!

Sorry for the delay in getting this up and running. I got sucked into March Madness/Badger weekend in Rochester. Long story short...the women's hockey team won their third national championship (in four years!) and the men's bball team lost in an ugly second round game to Xavier. Bittersweet really and I was super crabby for the drive home...I did it in record time!

Thinking back over the weekend it occurs to me I didn't always make the best food and drink choices though I firmly contend that bloody marys might actually be good for you. Alas, bad food + booze + not much sleep = unhealthy all around. So, much as I wanted to nap (or watch more basketball) when I got home, I wanted to be able to post here about doing something good.

I did 20 minutes of Yoga Booty Ballet and 10 minutes of general yoga. The former was my first time trying the dvd workout. It was...interesting. The other 10 minutes were from a workout on my digital cable (I heart OnDemand!)...mostly moving through plank, cobra, downward dog. I really just wanted to get an even 30 minutes in. :) I might do some stability ball and/or kettlebell stuff later. If I do, I'll report on it tomorrow. I might actually get on the scale tomorrow too. I want to mark a starting point, if you will. Right now, I'm looking ahead to summer so Memorial Day/beginning of June is my unofficial goal for visible progress. Okay, total honesty, I've reinstated the "bikini" goal and figure that since I have all this time on my hands there really isn't much of an excuse!

Speaking of free time...I did an intense 45 minute job search last Thursday night but I didn't find anything else to apply for. It's on tomorrow's 'to-do' list to look more before I have spin class at 6pm. I'm starting to get a bit freaked out about the no job thing...my funds are dwindling and the future is looking a little bleak. I'm sure Gwen can relate to this!

Not much else to share! My apartment is clean (surprise) and I just started a new book. I'm cleaning at my parents' house on Wednesday and possibly Nick's this week too. In general this week, I'm going to work on living more normal hours--getting up in the a.m. and going to bed before midnight. I think the nocturnal lifestyle as a big negative impact on my energy level and I don't get much accomplished when I am awake.

Anyway, I look forward to reading your posts!
