The D Word

Dating...

Seriously?

What's the deal with dating?

You're happy.

You're sad.

You want them you.

You don't.

I just don't get it.

I didn't sign up to be a life long dater.

They ask you out.

They don't.

They call.

They don't.

It's up.

It's down.

They like you.

You don't like them.

You like them.

They don't like you.

Attractive.

Ugly.

Ambitious.

Lazy.

Sometimes I just want to give up.

Hope.

Hope.

Hope.

We long to have someone to be with.

To love to cherish.

To admire.

To praise.

To snuggle with.

It's our innate desire to be with someone.

To experience the good, the bad and the ugly.

A witness of your life.

Why is complicated?

Why is it hard?

Is it timing?

Is it me?

Hope.

Hope.

Hope.

Believe.

Believe.

Believe.

Pray.

Pray.

Pray.

Sometimes it's easier to be single.

Don't Quit.

Hope. Believe. Pray.

2010 is here, what???

So apparently I don't blog anymore! Oh well, you will all just have to call me for updates, hehe. Lots has happened. My brother got married! Christmas came and went. New Years came and went. Niki and Moly got engaged! Lots of dates. Set some new goals. So there you have have it. My life in a nutshell!

Flirting???

So I went to Wal-mart last night to buy a bunch of candy bars for a bridal shower game. This is what the guy in line behind me had to say:

Guy: "I admire your dedication to nutrition"

Me: "Well, what can I say."

Guy: "You didn't find Mr. Goodbar"

Me: "I looked and looked, but couldn't find him."

Guy: "Why don't they make women candy bars?"

Me: "They have Hot Tamales."

Guy: "It's ok, I like them better in person."

Hahaha!! I'm still laughing! I felt like a big fat fatty fat buying all those candy bars...even thought I had no intention of eating them!

5K Before Turkey Day

So this race was a week or so ago!! Natalie invited me to run and has me all sorts of running motivated now!! My mom raced too, she's a rockstar like that...she may be getting "old" but she can kick my trash in a race, haha! These pics are so flattering, don't ya think... tee hee... what can I say, big, baggie, brown shirts just do a lot for our figures and the bed hair is just plain sexy!! More pics to come from the Thanksgiving race this week!

Damn.

Why is it that we are never happy with our bodies?? I just don't get it...my skinny friends and chubby friends alike, we're just never happy. Now that I've finally kicked my butt back into gear to loose some weight...I'm back to my college weight!! Woot! Woot! I feel so good and so happy and even content. In college I felt, chunky, or as my brother would say it "she's just a little bit chunky." It's funny to be the same weight but to have a completely different mindset about it. It sucks how the weight sneaks up on you.... Needless to say, I think I need to start looking at things from another perspective, instead of thinking "wow, I've got some weight to loose" I should really think, "wow, I'm so glad that I'm not 20 lbs heavier!"

As some of you know, I went 50 days without eating out, hooray. To celebrate making it 50 days, my friend Elissa took me out to dinner at Applebee's where I could still eat some healthy, good food! I ordered the 4 oz steak and salad. They have this amazing low-fat dressing! I want to steal the bottle or their recipe!! Elissa has been one of my biggest cheer leaders, I am so grateful for her!!!

I also treated myself to a pedicure for reaching 40 lbs of weight loss this year! Can you believe it? I'm actually a little embarrassed to post about it, but it's not like you couldn't tell that I had a little junk in my trunk, haha. I still have some work to do, but again, I'm happy at where I am. It feels so good!!! I never want to be ungrateful again!! When I get to my goal weight I am going Ski-diving, so if anyone else wants to join, I'll keep ya posted!!

Here's a pic Niki took just for kicks, we'll call this my "half-way to goal" pic:).
