What do I do now that my boo is gone? Before he left for training, my goals were straight forward, like: lose a pound before he gets home from Alabama, or chisle those arms before his send off party. So mission accomplished- I wasn’t perfect, but I was feeling myself for his farewell weekend. I mean did you see that blue dress? And then we drank Moet, Baileys, Buttery Nipples and Vodka, and ate hotel food, chips & dip, pizza, sashimi, donuts…and I haven’t been back to the gym in 5 days.
He left two days ago and I have been in a fog. I gotta get my mojo back. Now I won’t see my baby til June graduation. He may have been a great motivator for me and June will likely mark a new deadline for new goals. But I need to determine some personal short term motivation…before tomorrow so I can get back to business.
