Writing to keep my sanity.. =P
Hmm.. let’s see. What has been going on with me lately?
Last Friday Drew and I went to the city for the day to see eachother. We had a great time. We went to the cute cafe called Andrews that we dubbed “our” cafe. Went to get a bottle of water and ended up purchasing a 32 oz Coors Lite. We enjoyed the cool beverage at noon on a park bench in Central Park. Perfect. We laughed a lot and took a bunch of pictures of the two of us. We lounged on the rocks by the Central Park playground for about an hour. Watched a baseball game being had by a bunch of older guys. We went on a carousel which was amazing. I haven’t been on one of those in YEARS. We had lunch/dinner at this cute italian place that we went to the first time we “met” eachother. We did a ton of walking the whole day. With all these NYC trips I had better shed some weight.. haha =)
Work has been okay. Been kinda busy cause of Fathers Day. I’m glad I have off today though. Yay!
Food has been great lately. I’m bringing my lunch and snack everyday for work. I went food shopping last night and spent 43 dollars. Got LOTS of healthy, good-for-me things. I’m really happy with the amount I spent too. I did really well with looking for the sale items and not getting the expensive brands when the store brand tastes exactly the same and is like.. half the price!
I haven’t been getting to the gym yet but I’ve actually started a new fatbet and this time it’s with Drew! He’s been complaining about wanting to drop some poundage and I definitely need to drop the weight I’ve gained so I suggested a fat bet. The loser has to take the other out for a congratulatory dinner.. oh.. and lots of kisses lol =) I’m really excited about it. I’m a HUGE gambler and very competitive, especially when it comes to weight loss. Our start date is today and our end date is July 20th. I’m really excited. I’ve bet that I can lose six pounds by that date. That would put me at 156 pounds. It’s going to be good for the both of us, I think. All the walking in the city is definitely helpful.
Now I just have to get my tushy in gear and get my body in motion at least 30 minutes every day. That’s not asking a lot. I don’t have to go crazy and work out for an hour and a half to two hours every day like I used to. I can start slowly. Maybe incorporate more movement in what I’m doing everyday. Go bowling more. Even something as simple as miniature golf that will get me out and in the sunshine. There hasn’t been much of that though. Been very rainy. I’m waiting for the warm weather and sunshine =(
This week I’m going to set a few goals for my self. One of which being ten miles. I want to walk/jog a total of ten miles in the next five days. I don’t care how I do it. I can even it out and do two miles each day or I can do six miles one day and one the rest of the week. However I do it, it has to be ten miles.. 
Food will be written down and every morsel put in my mouth will be accounted for!
I’m feeling pretty good today. I had a conversation with Drew this morning. He’s so sweet. We took lots of pictures and I told him I’m seeing more fat in my face and that really scares me. I told him his opinion matters to me and he said “But I’ve already formed an opnion of you and it has very little to do with your weight, dear. I’m crazy about you, and that’s because your personality is a great match for mine. I mean, I find you physically attractive too. But the personality is definitely more important.” That’s verbatim because it was a text message. He’s so sweet. He calls me dear all the time. Says he’s crazy about me. Ahhh! We’ve had the conversation about being an official couple. I know he wants to be. And I want to be too. I am SO scared to cross that boundary, girls. I don’t know what to do. He would be my first boyfriend. It’s scary. Not only because of that but because it’s long distance. I mean, I can tell you for a fact that I don’t want to be with anyone else. I’m cutting every other guy I had in my life out because I’m so serious about him. I like the way he makes me feel. He makes me feel stable in my life but at the same time completely spontaneous. I can’t explain it. It feels right. Sigh. I know it’s up to me when to make our status official. I need to make sure this is what I want. I need to feel this out a little bit more. Meet his folks. The best way to really get to know a person is when they are in their own surroundings and with the people who see them every single day. I’ll be going there July 2nd through the 5th so I think it’ll be a great way for me to get to know him even more then I already do.
Anywho! Plan today is just to relax. Watching TV, reading and doing a load of wash. Tonight I’m heading over to Ashleys house. I’m sleeping over because her and I have work at the same time tomorrow. It’s going to be so weird to do that. That’s what we used to do when we were still together so.. it’ll be a major blast from the past. There is a track by her house so I’m hoping to get there tonight after dinner but before True Blood starts. If I wake up early enough I can head out on the track at 6am or so. That’d be great. Probably won’t happen so I’ll just have to get some milage in at night after work. Either way.. I’m going to get my body moving.
Welp, I guess that’s all for today. I’m watching Tremors right now. Think I may settle down with my book and then fix lunch in a little while. Had a DELICIOUS omelet this morning. I used one whole egg, two egg whites, 2 turkey sausages, tri-colored peppers and 2% cheese. MMmm! I also had some whole wheat toast on the side. So good! Not sure what lunch will be. Maybe a turkey wrap, pretzels and an apple. Snack later could be a granola bar. Got the new Kashi Pumpkin Pie one! I hope it’s yummy. Certaintly looked real good. Alright.. I’m babbling away now haha.. I’m signing off now =) Enjoy your day, all.

I LOVE YOU!!!
First off, I have to look for the Kashi Pumpkin Pie granola bar. It sounds awesome. I love all that pumpkin flavored crap out there. Like, the coffee drinks at Caribou/Starbucks.
Your date in Central Park sounds fun. Did you post pics on FB at all? I’ll have to log in there and look.
Way to set up your goals for walking 10Mi. and writing food again. I know you’ve wanted to do that for a while. Everything will fall into place. Follow your heart with Drew–this is such an exciting time for you two. …even the anxiousness! Hahaha…
Yeah, 3fc just isn’t the same without you, my friend. Life brings us to many different places. At times we will be able to write more often or never, like in my case. lol…I have made it a promise to myself to never leave again though.
I’m so impressed with how often you’re writing considering that you’re falling in love. I am in awe. (…and thankful!! hahaha)
