I did 30 minutes on the bike last night, and I'll go again tonight and do 40, but then tomorrow I'm going to Skype with Britch after work and then Hike will come over, so no gym, WHICH IS FINE. Laaaiiiiid back.
It'll be good to talk to Britch again. We haven't communicated very much at all since August, when I saw her for her wedding, and it's not like we got to talk a lot then, anyway. She's had a lot going on and I've been trying to be patient, but I though I was losing her for awhile though today we just hashed it out and it seems like she's been a bit reclusive, but it had nothing to do with our friendship. I was really sad and worried about it, but I think things are going to get better again.
Hike and I had some really productive conversations last night, so I'm feeling very optimistic that we'll make progress on our "how to fight" problem. He's also admitting that with all of his stress and multi-tasking with school and work and his home business, he's not been the best boyfriend lately, and he's going to do better, which helps me. I mean, he's not like mean or awful or anything, he's just not been as thoughtful as he used to be and I look forward to that returning a little. I hope it can happen. I've been trying to be very supportive but I have gotten a little impatient, too, and I'm glad he's recognizing that sometimes the focus needs to be on me.
Plus we've got like five dates booked because of Groupon-type deals! This Saturday we'll use a bowling groupon and that should be a fun and different actvity -- something we've never done together. And we have movies, restaurants, etc. He said that he wants me to always have something to look forward to, like some specific plans, and so far that's working out well.
When it's good, it's so good, friends. (And when it's bad, it's awful.) Ah well, today I'm going to bask in the good. Also I have been on a bit of a shopping kick this fall, as I've needed new boots due to the wearing out of my work brown boots and my black ones. I bought these brown ones from Kohl's, these black ones for casual-wearing from Zappos.com:
FUN SHOPPING. And I got some clothes, but those will be more fun once I lose some poundage. And finally, I got a good deal on pots & pans & stuff that I'll need for when we have our own kitchen, since most of the cookware is currently my roommate's. They arrived today, and though the box is probably too big for me to take home, I want to! But I'm going to make myself wait to use them until I have a new apartment. I don't want Roommate getting her mitts on them!
Oh, and I bought these flannel sheets from Overstock.com for the new Queen bed so we'd be cozy this winter. We already put them on when the temperatures dipped recently, and they're sooooft.
I think that's all the purchases I can brag about for now, but I am so ready to nest in a new place. I still look at apartments pretty frequently on Craigslist, though it's difficult for me to look and not act, and I don't think it'll be time to act until the new year. But I do like knowing what's out there and in what price range.
I also need to ramble to you about how I'm contemplating switching from hormonal birth control (aka the Pill) to an IUD. But that'll be another day. Happy Hump Day!
Oh, and I'm going to plan my meals because it helps me to have it written somewhere!
B - apple, cereal, milk - 5
L - Bagel thin with turkey, LT, honey mustard; string cheese; orange; 4 cookies - 10
D - butternut squash ravioli, tomato sauce, veg - 6
S - yogurt with blueberries, homemade granola bar, pumpkin pudding - 8.5
TOTAL - 29.5 (so today I'll be .5 over but I will earn activity points, so it's ok)
