Flight booked!

Moving out to the east coast I found out that I have a good handful of female friends out here and they were excited for me to in the area so we could meet up and visit.  Some of these "visits" have fell through for one reason or another.  People have their lives and they get busy, I understand that... 

When I first moved back to Utah in 2010 I had the great opportunity to volunteer with Made By Survivors in India for two weeks.  I flew out to India on my own, not knowing who'd I meet or who my roommate will be while there.  I lucked out and got the best roommate ever, Coleen.  We had a great time together and enjoyed our time in India.  We talked about meeting up but she lives on the east coast and I haven't spent a lot of time out here since 2010 ;)  Well, I shot her a message and this morning I just booked my flight to hang out with her for about 4 days!  I've never been up around Boston so I'm looking forward to being with her and checking out a new place!

Having a struggle...

Not sure what it is...the change of season/temperature, influx of allergy crud in the air, me getting my self in order with acupuncture, over stressed at work... who knows, it's like a perfect storm of stress crap and thus it's an open door for my depression :(  It's been a hard couple of weeks.
In saying that I've done better than usually during this type of time in working out, I believe that has kept me from going off the deep end!  At a minimum I've done my work outs in the mornings prior to work, just the 30 minutes on the treadmill.  This weekend, I've forced myself to work out and it's helped pull me out of my "funk".  My allergies have really kicked in and usually that will bring me down too, making me feel lethargic and tired.  Fortunately, in the latest doTerra magazine it talked about allergies.  It mentioned in a capsule put in a few drops of lavender, peppermint, and lemon.  I've done it the past two days and it WORKS!  Amazing!
Today I did Cardio Extreme of HHAs and it totally kicked my butt but I stuck with it!  I need all those work endorphins I can get at this time.
Depression sucks!  It sucks the life from you, makes you self conscious, withdrawn, paranoid, tired, bitchy....need I go on?  :( ugh It's a perfect storm of crap!  You need to work out, eat well, and be active to keep the depression at bay but once it starts it's the quick sand of blue sludge because you don't want to and don't have the energy to exercise, eat healthy, and be active.
I'm doing better, obviously since I'm blogging ;)  Too bad it's in the middle of a long weekend...in other words I feel like I've wasted have of this long weekend in my funk :( and there is so much to do!  
As I sit here, Shane and I are planning an August vacation to an island :D  Beach, white sands, tropical drinks with umbrellas in them.... it will be lovely!
