the words don't mean enough

It has been crazy CRAZY here at work, because it's the end of the fiscal year so everyone is scrambling to get shit stuff done before the 30th. I am taking  amoment to breathe, because after lunch I feel like all hell is going to break loose and there will be people physically running invoices around. We're obviously super prepared for this! Hah.

Nate and I went to the gym last night to have our free personal training sessions for the month. He was training with a guy named Charles, but since he got a new 8-5 desk job (which he is increasingly more excited about every day he goes) and Charles only works until 4:30, he was in need of a new trainer. So we decided to do a buddy session with my trainer, Dawn. I was a little skeptical, but it turned out to be awesome! We worked mostly arms, legs and cardio, with a little core (which is fine by me.) We also did measurements, and discovered that -- despite my week in Boston eating every type of barfood imaginable and not working out for a week and a half -- what I have been doing is paying off. I haven't lost a whole lot of fat (see: copious amounts of nachos/ice cream/rich wedding food,) but I have gained 1.5% muscle, which is awesome. My arms are now even (apparently before one was 9.5" and one was 10.5"...so I gained .5" in one and lost it in the other. Hoorah for symmetry?) Unfortunately everything else is the same or a little higher, but I'm not surprised by that fact. Now that we're back in the swing of things, that should (hopefully) change.

Ok, back to numbers and numbers and numbers. Have I mentioned I'm not really a numbers person? Oh well.
