So as much as it sucked, I dragged my tired little butt out of bed this morning and went to work. I was lucky that my buddy Diane drove me into the city so that I didn’t have to take the PATH train in. I don’t know about you guys, but for me, Saturday is the day that eases me into the weekend. It’s the day that I run my errands, get things done around the house and well, just do busy work that needs to get done. Sunday is the day I like to sleep in a bit, have a nice cup of coffee and just enjoy the day. So, as you might expect, my entire weekend was thrown by having to work. But that’s ok. I had an amazing Saturday with friends and caught up like no time had passed. We laughed and chatted as if we hadn’t been apart for months. Those are the truest of friends. The ones that stick by you no matter what and eventually you stop looking at them as friends but rather family. Its funny how we just fell back into our normal routine and the jokes and zingers just kept coming.
We had an amazing dinner last night so I packed a lunch of left over kale salad and added some grilled chicken, some fruit for a snack and into the office I went.
After a full day of casting extras for my three shows, I packed up and headed home. I made it a point to cook myself a nice dinner that included pork chops, sautéed broccoli with garlic and sprouted almonds and a spinach salad. Nothing feels more grown up than sitting at the dinner table with a home cooked meal as you watch the news. Oh how proud my parents would be. I made sure to make enough so that there would be leftovers for lunches and dinners for the week. I also have some fresh fruit and salads for the week, not to mention some healthy snacks. I have made it a point, that even at my busiest, that I continue to eat healthy and workout. I want this to not just be a challenge, but a lifestyle. Its funny how it was the industry that I work in that made me want to get into shape. For years, I knew that I needed to get healthy. I ate crap and didn’t work out. I watched my father deal with health issues and I lost my uncle at the age of forty. Only ten years older than I am right now. But it was a television show that prides itself in its hot young talent that opened my eyes. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am enjoying the updated 90210 and the messages that they are telling our young generation are messages that need to be told. But how is it that my industry is what made me wake up and realize that I needed to get healthy and fit and not my genetics?
Well, I need to call it a night. Early morning tomorrow with JC at the gym and I am sure he will be kicking my ass as usual. Till tomorrow.
