I think the bigger question is what&#8217;s the deal with me hanging out with my friends and their coworkers??? As a general rule, I don&#8217;t go out with the people I work with. At least not since my manager&#8217;s drunken birthday disaster of 2008. Yikes. Anyway, with only six weeks left till Chel&#8217;s wedding, I&#8217;ve been eating bird portions and hitting the gym every night in a late attempt to fit into the bridesmaid dress I purposely (and over ambitiously) ordered three sizes too small. Apparently, losing 25 pounds wasn&#8217;t enough. It would&#8217;ve been, had I lost it all in my chest. As I always say, these ladies are a blessing and a curse. This sudden spike in turbo kickboxing classes has also left me with some seriously sore stems. I have to admit, walking around like I&#8217;ve just been butt-raped has been very humbling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m all about good food and good drinks with good friends, and this diet is just ruining my life.
