Keep in touch!

Tonight I spent some time with a friend of mine that I haven't seen since Christmas. We used to work together, and we've gone from seeing each other on a daily basis to seeing each other once every few months. I wish we could hang out more often, but we both have such busy schedules that it's hard to co-ordinate a time when we're both free.

It makes me feel like a lousy friend, though. I mean, if I could, I'd see her (and the other friends with whom I used to work) every week. E-mail is great, but nothing beats seeing someone in person.

I think I just need to try harder. I may lead a relatively busy life, but nothing is so important that I can't make a bit of time to see a friend. Sometimes I think I need to be reminded of that.

A weighty problem

I'm not sure how I feel about the way I look right now. People warned me when I started Boot Camp that I would probably gain weight, rather than lose it. I figured I would gain muscle, but didn't really think about gaining weight.

Unfortunately, after stepping on the scale this morning, I've realized that it's happened, and (even more unfortunately) I don't believe any of it is muscle. I seem to be expanding, and I'm not sure why! I don't think I'm eating any more, and I'm definitely exercising more. How is this fair?!
