Kenny Chesney baby!!

Last night I went to see Kenny Chesney with my sister and a friend of mine from work. It was a last minute thing. Well, not too last minute. My friend asked me a few weeks ago if I wanted to go because she knew I liked country music and she didn't know anyone else that did. So course I said "Yes!". But I told her the only way I can go is if I bring my sister. See, the day after is her Birthday. And I can't not ask her. And also, it's what we do. We go to country music concerts together. Of course my friend said "Of course, I know your sister ask her" and when my sister said yes (Duh, Kenny) we were all excited.

It was awesome! Uncle Kracker and Billy Currington opened. I never thought I would see Uncle Kracker. Haha. He is okay. I like his "cross over" songs. Billy Currington was great. I love his songs. I forgot he sang so many hits. But Kenny? Ah, Kenny was fantastic. I was supposed to see him in 2009, but didn't. I'm not going to get into that. But I am glad I finally got to see him.

I hadn't been there in awhile. I was trying to remember last night the last time I went to Mohegan Sun. For those that do not know Connecticut, it's a casino. And they have a lot of concerts there. I think the last night I was there was July of 2009 for Stone Temple Pilots. So back in 2009 I was around 250 pounds or so. And the more I thought about it, the more I remember how much those seats were not so comfortable for me back then. Last night? No problems at all. I could even cross my legs (don't tell my Chiropractor that). Actually, in May of 2008, I remember seeing Stone Temple Pilots there and nearly DYING after we left. The line to the elevators were so long, we decided to take the stairs. Um.... bad idea. I had to stop half way up because my lungs were ON FIRE! I thought I was going to die. I went back to weight watchers the next day and weighed in at 260.8 pounds. That wasn't even when everything "clicked" again for me though. It took almost 2 years for me to get back on track. But it did happen.

So a lot has changed since my concerts at Mohegan Sun. This is my first one where I was under 200 pounds. And I enjoyed every single minute of it. I didn't even drink. I had water. I know. I'm boring like that.

And I got home at 1:00am. Went to bed at almost 2am and got up at 9am and ran 7 miles this morning.

It does look like I am going to see Brad Paisley in June. I'm most excited about the fact that Blake Shelton is opening. My sister and her boyfriend are going. But you know what she told him? Oh, my sister Sarah has to go. It's what we do. We go to country music concerts.

Ha!!
