I haven't felt this exhausted in my bones for a while - I had a client meeting the next day, and they remarked on how tired I looked. 

It started off with seeing my sister in NYC, then headed up to Boston to see a (former) San Diego friend who moved there with his girlfriend... then ended with a wonderful wedding in NC. 

I have to say - I loved being back on the East Coast. While the weather didn't agree with me, it was a nice reminder of who I am in my bones - I'm culturally Southern. I was asked many times on this trip how much longer I planned on living in SD. The short answer is I don't know. Nothing ties me down here, except the feeling that this is *home* for me now. 

There's a short list of cities I could see myself living in after San Diego: Barcelona, New York, and Boston. When I settle down, I want to move somewhere in the South or Midwest - I don't think SD is the best for raising a family. But we'll see.

I've decided to start a soft diet after talking to a friend about the paleo diet. My willpower when it comes to food is non-existent, so this will be a gradual process. This month, I plan on avoiding sodas, Jamba Juice, and fast food. If I can accomplish those three, that'll be a big achievement for me (especially JJ - I LOVE that stuff). 

I realized it's such a shame that I work out, and then eat junk food to basically cancel that out. So let's see what happens this month...
