It's almost Friday!

Thank god it's almost friday, it seems like it's been a long week, when really it hasn't!

Last night went really well. The concert was awesome, and my girlfriend and I had a great time. Tim and Faith are awesome, I think it's the 3rd time I've seen them in concert, and I would totally go again! I also stayed completely OP, I ate before we left and then finished my points when I got home (which was not by my 9p cutoff time, but what the heck, you can't win them all!).

As far as the challenge goes, I did good for my first day, although I didn't get in any Activity Points, but thats because I just didn't have time. I did get in 3 servings of fruit and 2 servings of veggies, and I drank 110 ounces of water. So Day One went well.

Tonight I'm going to stop by my garden to water and pick anything that might be ripening, and then come home, eat dinner and hopefully get out for either a rollerblade or a dog-walk. Depending on whether the dog is up for a walk, we'll see, he has a hard life you know! Then after that I'm going to enjoy my quiet-ness :)

Cooler around here again today...only a high of 78 (breathes a sigh of relief). I hate the hot weather, even with being cold all the time. If I could live somewhere where it was 60-70 all year round, I would be doing great! I don't mind the winter's either though!

Alright, back to work for me, but I hope everyone has a fit and fabulous day, weigh in tomorrow !

And a New Week Begins!

I have yet to decide what my new activity for this week is going to be, but I better start thinking! A guy I was out with on Saturday, "R", said he'd teach me to play disc golf, and I think it would be fun. I don't necessarily know that I would like him to teach me though. perhaps I can get one of my brothers to go look like an idiot with me, being they don't know how to play either! It will be so gorgeous out I know I won't want to go to any fitness classes, I can just go out walking.

Speaking of which, I think tonight when I get home I'm going to take Duke (my 4 year old golden retriever) out for a nice long walk. It's 70 and there isn't a cloud in the sky. Plus being out of the house like that, keeps me out of the food, lol. We are having tuna salad sandwiches for dinner tonight, and should be good, and low in points.

Alright promised an update on the dating situation. I haven't had anymore crazies who've yelled at me for telling them I'm not interested, which is always good. You know they saying "When It Rains it Pours?" My love life is kinda like that. I will go months without anyone interested, or a date, and then I'll have like 4 guys at once interested. Then I have to pick cause I'm totally incapable of juggling 4 men, and then the one I pick dumps me, and then I'm back to square one, it's fun, really it is. Can you tell how much I love dating?

So right now I have three potential prospects, who have no advanced to talking on the phone. I might as well just use names, because there are starting to be initial overlaps, and well that will just get confusing. Currently, I have three left. I went out with another one this weekend, Rick, and he was a nice guy, just not my type, so I don't foresee it going anywhere.

So the ones left are Nic, Chad and Ryan. All great guys. Chad already asked me out for next weekend, although I'm not sure which day we're going to go out. But he's 34, and from a small city about 35-40 minutes away. He has a good job, education, family, ect. Just seems like a good all-around guy, he wasn't very good on the phone though, kinda boring. I honestly didn't think he was that interested, so I was surprised when he asked me out.

Then there is Nic. Nic is 26 and also seems like a great guy, he's from another small town about 30-40 minutes away. Has a great job, what seems to be a big, close knit family. Loves the outdoorsy stuff like I do. Just seems like he'd be the type of guy who is always up for challenge. I like those types. Plus, I'm a challenge, so it's nice to have someone who can put up with that ;) He hasn't asked me out yet, but I can see it coming soon.

Lastly, right now there is Ryan. He's definitely not the last on the list or anything. He's 32 and He's from Ohio, a town about 45 minutes south of me. He also seems like a great guy with a good family, good education, hard working, has a good job, and a company he runs on the side during the summer. This one really impressed me. We talked on the phone for like 40 minutes last night, and I'm not a phone person. We actually got into some political discussions (an interesting thing to chat about the first time you talk nonetheless). He seemed like a great guy. No date yet with this one.

So, I've got my plate full. Three great guys! I just hope one out of the three is as good of a package in person as they seem through email/phone conversations. Because anyone who has dated online knows this isn't always the case!

Other than that, I have no excitement in my life. I'm predicting a rather lazy night after my walk. I will post a menu, but until then, take care!

Oh yah I almost forgot!

I'm bored today, can you tell?

So my a new personal goal last week was to try something new every week. Whether it was going to a new place to eat, a new fitness class, do something I've never done, it just had to be new.

So, this week, is kind of an extension of my last weeks "new". I'm trying Yoga tomorrow again, a new place called Continuity Yoga. I'm going for a session in the morning called Healthy Backs. I'm hoping that this will relieve some of the tension in my back, as that is where I get tight from stress. So I didn't like Yoga the first time, but I'm giving it another shot. I'll keep ya posted.
