You know it was a good party when several days go by and you are still thinking about the good times you had. You feel fulfilled and are completely content staying home for the rest of the week. You look at pictures and share stories with friends. And after a few days or weeks, you start planning for the next crazy night out. At least that's how it's always been for me.
So that should explain to you why I haven't blogged for many months. I was still recovering from the wedding! Planning a wedding is a full-time job, and for a year, the event was constantly in the back of my mind. And when the big day finally came around, it did not disappoint. In fact, it was the greatest night of my life! Hence my need to detox and recuperate.
I didn't realize just how much time I've spent being a bum, until I was telling a friend the other day that I hadn't worked out since before the wedding. I am just giving myself a little break, I said. But what began as a well-earned treat to myself (a break from the gym, from writing, from organizing the gifts and photos) is now nothing but a way of life. I've read that one in ten brides experience the post-wedding blues, a natural outcome to spending so much time planning for one day. My situation is more like the post-wedding retreat. I am using 2010 to relax and enjoy the married life! Which brings me to statistic number 2- studies show that people who get married are twice as likely to become obese than those who are just dating.
So in an effort to not "let myself go", I'm writing again, and I've created a little group called Blog Watchers to help me stay on track. Shout out to my friend Jamie who just started her Island Girl-Concrete Jungle blog, and to Nitasha and Kat who have recently started writing in their blogs again too. Together, we can do this!
Note: In case you're wondering, I will start my gym schedule in a couple weeks, after I have successfully reinstituted my writing schedule. Don't want to take on too much and risk a relapse!
