Weight the same this AM.
Good morning friends! Today I had a talk with myself. I need to stop focusing on my happiness being reliant on my relationships with others (or rather - my unhappiness because of having NO relationships with others) and love myself and figure out some fun things to do MYSELF. So, I joined a meetup group (I LOVE meetup, it is just awesome) for Hudson Valley Hikers. Yay! Now I don’t have to go alone, I can meet other people, etc. It will be a little weird at first … especially since a lot of them are like super duper experienced hikers and I am not, but I didn’t claim to be and asked for some help getting started. The next scheduled hike is Apr 4th, and I prob will have the kids that weekend anyway … but that one is a 8 mile one and I don’t know if I can do 8 miles! The most I ever did was 5. So I am looking for a smaller one to start off.
Of course I manage to find an excuse to shop for hiking shoes now :) So I might go scout some out this weekend.
Things with ‘Bob’ aren’t looking very good, lol. It’s a little depressing, I don’t really want to talk about it. So back to the drawing board. I have a few weeks left on Match (I only did 3 mos) and I am not going to renew right away … I am going to take a break. I think I need some time to myself. I have a lunch date Sunday with someone else, but I don’t really want to go. I will see how I feel this weekend.
Funny, now when I talk to SBFF (we get 15 min/day) she is like my therapist! Telling me what “tools” to be using, etc. :) She is going home tomorrow.
Food yesterday was right on plan! Exercise was the Firm Bootcamp, got nice and sweaty. Drank all my water. It was a good day!
Today’s Food:
B: Strawberry mini wheats, sliced strawberries, coffee
S: 100 cal yogurt?
L: Chicken Salad sandwich (I made with leftover roast chicken)
S: Almonds or Banana
D: Soup or red. fat hot dogs, not sure
Exercise: Jillian Cardio Kickbox, Treadmill
My boss invited me out to lunch with some coworkers to Red Robin. Funny … I’ve been craving a juicy burger for weeks, and just last night I made them for dinner and now this?! I didn’t want a burger, perused the menu nutritionals and decided there is just nothing I really want that is worth the calories there today. So Chicken Salad it is!
Okay ladies, well I guess I better publish and get to work. Everyone have a great day!

I signed up at meetup and get notifications for the weirdest meetups all the time. I haven’t gone to any yet. I hope this works out for you!
You and I are oppsite ends of this dating spectrum. You date to validate yourself, I don’t date to avoid getting hurt. Boy, we are both a mess! Nunnery?

Taking a break and concentrating on what you want to do not only sounds like a great idea but it sounds fun. So glad to hear SBFF is doing better.

You know the old proverb about when you’re not looking is when you find what you’re looking for. Match sounds fun, but I think the old fashioned way of just meeting someone is far more romantic and lasting. If you join groups and go out and live the life you want and meet people who are doing the things you love to do, then you are going to meet someone who is just right for you. Plus, think of all the connections–you may be hiking with married couples, but they may have a brother, cousin, etc. Relax; plus, you have to worry about getting new hiking shoes–a much bigger concern!
