Missed workout again!  lol…that’s ok, I’ll forgive me.  How often does one’s long lost daughter come to town? 

Emotionaly; a wonderful and spiritually charged day…like all the worries and fears were lifted and let go.  Who could ask for anything more? 

Missed working out today, but that’s ok…my long lost daughter was in town so we spent time together…food was good…so was water…but we drank!

emotionally:  Had alot of fun with Tenille, took her to the strippers at the back alley, danced alot, had a blast.   Was totally fun.  Went out to dinner with her, my mom and my brother James… also a blast…so today was totally great!!!!  Tomorrow, back to normal.  

Today (well yesterday) was a kinda excellent day!  I missed workout, which sucked…we were going to the fireworks, so I had to cancel with my workout partner because it all started around when we should have been working out!  But then we got to the fireworks and it was cancelled!  ACK!  Rescheduled for tonight.  My long lost daughter is in town tonight so I’m really excited…we just have to find out if she wants to go to dancing still or switch it to fireworks…I’m thinking she cornfested yesterday, she’d be happy with fireworks…it’s globalfest a fireworks competition, absolutely awesome!

Emotionally:  Beyond excellent…guess my crappy housekeeping wasn’t a dealbreaker after all because we saw each other last night.  Woohoo!  I’m so excited.  And he’s still sweet as pie.  He was so funny and cute when we were talking…he called my Mom "Pure".  I imagine his Mom probably is.  I held my laughter until we were off the phone and told my Mom what he said, she laughed too then said, "Do you think he’d still call me that if he knew I referred to him as an Ebony God?"  I was like, "ummmm…Let’s not tell him that….kinda grossly inappropriate!"  lol My Mom’s a great woman, she works with homeless people at one of the Drop in Center in Calgary and does an amazing job.  More importantly, she’s back to acting ‘not her age’ which is to say’ she dates guys 15 years her junior, parties with us girls when we go out, (she’s in charge of the Jello) and just got two tats in the last year, one on her ankle and a tramp stamp.    "Amazing" yes, "pure" ummmm…not so much.  teehee

Take care!

Had a great workout today…tried to up my running to 3/2 and did it for 6 rounds…then 2/2 for 4 more.  only made 56 mins total instead of the whole hour!  lol  I tried, but my left hip flexer (I think that’s what its called) started making popping noises, so I figured maybe it was time to stop!  teehee… Food was good, so was water. 

Emotionally:  I don’t know…getting happier and excited-er about the new guy in my life everyday….which makes me happy.  It is also odd for me, I’m usually so jaded and scared I run away or presume the worst!  I’m not even worried about not hearing from him yet. 

OH!  Also excited because I found the backless bra for big boobed women!  woohoo!  it was on some inventor show last fall, I think it was.  We saw it and thought, OMG! Genus!  MUST HAVE ONE!!!  and the foolish woman judge was like, ‘oh yeah, they have those."  spoken like an A cup…Um Yeah, they have them for A & B cups and ppl with ficticous perk…but not for normal C, D, & DD’s!!  Now Maidenform has them, I’m excited.  Going to the Bay tomorrow to figure out my Maidenform size and order one…just one because with my size changing, two or more would be a waste.  Woohoo!  I too will be able to wear backless things! 

Wow, I’m already 50 days into my journey to bikinidom!  woohoo!  Workout was excellent today…lowerbody, everything ached after.  Food and water were both excellent.

Emotionally:  Saw Eric today…unfortunately he came over to my house!  Yikes..no warning…the place was an absolute disaster!  Guess I’ll find out shortly if that was a deal breaker!  Oh well, what can I say, I’m not a housekeeper. If people give me notice though it’ll be cleaned up for them!  Yikes.   Regardless, it was great seeing him…he’s just one sweet and fine man…Knock on wood…

It’s off workout day to day.  Food was good, perhaps short on carbs.  I love cabbage soup, but no carbs!  Ack!   

So I’m hanging out and doing crafts…making cute little pin-up girl hats.    Do I know how to spend a Sat Night or what? 

Emotionally:  great, Eric called today, so I was happy about that.  He’s french (from Cameroon) and learning English so we stumble through conversations, but, they’re getting better.  From his English getting better and my ability to hear through his accent better as well!  Some french i understand, hmmmm…maybe I should take french next.  Anyway, yes, had a wonderful day and am currently relaxing and making my little hats.  Eric works Fri and Sat nights as a bouncer, so if I want to see him on weekends, I’d have to go to the club where he works!    Oh well, he’s off Sundays, so hopefully I’ll see him tomorrow! 

Food.  I’m redoing my 5 day assessment for the dietician and wow, what a difference in my before eating habits.  I’m sure I still need tweaking to get all my nutrients in, but an average before day and after day are so far apart it’s ridiculous!  I can’t even imagine greese a few days in a row now..it’s just icky…once in a while ok, even then I get ‘hang overs’  & my veggie and fruit intake have changed 100 fold!  From like once a week to several times a day and I don’t even think about it anymore.  I still have work to do, but I can really see the difference.  I’m excited.

Emotionally:  Update  (In case you’re wondering why I’m tracking my emotional state its because I think it will help me curb emotional eating…if I can have a bad day and stay away from the chocolate, good for me! woohoo! and this seems to help)

Anyway, I spoke to my Mom about the whole Eric/Job thing upsetting me…and she pointed out that his criticisim probably stems from a place where a stable job, land ownership and good income are a priority…considering where he’s from and how much and how hard he works.  So he may have zero concept of why I would ‘throw it all away’ and try something new.  And his perception/nagging is totally from a different place than the other ones was.  

So emotionally, I’m back to giddy land.  I also love that Eric supports my weight training/running endevors.  He used to play volleyball for his country and did quite well.  He’s athletic.  His job is very labour intensive and he still works out and is talking about joining the gym for winter…he want’s to build back muscles he’s lost because he hasn’t been eating.  I nag him to eat!  He still has a mighty fine body, even if he doesn’t think so.  So, so far, he’s been nothing but encouraging on that front…he even offered to give me massages when my muscles hurt after a hard workout and doesn’t seem at all concerned that my body is going to change.  I think he might even be looking forward to it.  (I always worry about such things when I start dating a guy because there’s usually a reason they’re attracted and your body’s usually a part of it!)  So his support on this front is a great plus!  I think I love that.  

Ok…ciao for now!   

Excellent run day today!  I did an hour and 5 mins including 5 mins warmup and cooldown.  I managed to do the rest of the time at the full 2/2…14 rounds.  I just keep getting better at the running thing.  woohoo!  Food was great, so far.  I made a big pot of my cabbage soup…..mmmmmmmmm…..cabbage soup (and not the ‘cabbage soup’ diet kind) this is meatie and vegetablie and yummy, yummy, yummy.  I’ll be eating this for the next week!  lol

Emotionally…fighting a bit of a headache right now, spent most of the day outside, such a wonderful and sunny day.  I’m a bit sad that Eric had to work a double, but oh well, what can you do.  I am a bit concerned, upset that he’s into the nagging already…not sure that’s a good sign.  I should elaborate;  last year, I quit my job, yes it was steady and paid really well, but I was miserable and caught in a boring corporate loop.  IMHO, not a healthy place to be.  Anyway, I became a Realtor…Yes, I don’t make as much (yet) & no, I’m not busy 24/7 (yet) lol.  But you know, it’s what I decided to try, and it’s good…and you have to build up to everything, which I’m doing…I could be doing more and I will be shortly (re-working my marketing plan).  So it really pi$$es me off when someone like my last boyfriend, Ray and now the potentially new one starts nagging me about it!  Telling me to quit trying and go back to where I was?  Gawd, I met Eric a week ago!  I’m not sure where he gets off with the criticisms…bah…Have to get my head in a better place before I blow up at him and tell him to mind his own freaking business…if he starts again, I think I’ll say.  "Yeah, the nagging isn’t cute anymore."  gurrrr. 

Today’s workout was excellent, I finally did all my hammer curls in a row without having to stop!  woohoo!  Food was good and waters were good too….

bought some much needed shelving…I’m hoping to get this place at least marginally organized!  lol  Eric said he’d pop by tomorrow am…yikes…my house is a disaster!!!  So hopefully he forgets!  teehee

Emotionally:  a good day, accomplished a bit.  Just a basic, good day.  Not to much to tell otherwise.

Today was a wonderful workout!  I did an 55 mins on the tredmill plus 5 mins warmup and 5 mins cool down.  I did a 2/2 split as long as I could (9 rounds) then I switched to 1/2 split for the rest of the set (9 rounds)…I was just sweating to death!  Unfortunatly I couldn’t hide in the girls area because the tredmills weren’t working properly!  I’m absolutely exhausted and could go to sleep right now!  woohoo!  Food’s been good and I’ll finish my water by tonight.

I discovered a new muscle today…right on the front of my calf, beside the bone, I flexed and my hand happened to be there…I’m always excited when new muscles show up out of no where! 

Emotionally:  great, still feeling happy from seeing Eric last night…sad because he must be working a double and I haven’t heard from him yet…so I won’t be seeing him tonight.  hehehe guess 3 times in 4 days is probably to much to start out with anyway!

Thought I’d take care of my blog before I accidently fell asleep for the night!

Take care everyone.
