Life Goes On

Sep 06, 2011

I truly appreciate everyone's cyber hugs and well wishes I received after my last post.  It truly means a lot to me.  I am still sad about losing my relationship with my boyfriend, but each day does get easier.  A lot of songs, places around town and other various items remind me of him and better times.  I guess we do tend to remember the good things and ignore the bad when it comes to our past. 

There is a 3 day Wine Festival held each Labor Day weekend a few miles outside of Albuquerque.  It's a big event and for years I had been saying I wanted to go, just never made it.  I remember almost begging my boyfriend to go with me last year, but he didn't want to.  I decided to go this year, and I went alone.  I thought about how he would never go anywhere unless HE wanted to attend.....he wasn't the type to go somewhere just to please me.  So, no more waiting on anyone to do what I want......I just went.  It was a cool event, but honestly, not much fun by myself.  I am glad that I went though, just a needed reminder that things weren't always so good with him.

I have been on a few dates in the past three weeks.  One guy, I have seen twice.  There is some interest there with him on my part.  He is a REAL gentleman and we talked for hours about things that really interest me.  I am a political junkie, and most people yawn at the thought of talking policy and other details....not this guy, he is as in to it as I am.  Very good.  So, we'll see what happens.  Meanwhile, I have to keep concentrating on making Melanie the best person she can be. 

I slacked a bit in the workout and runnding department last week.  I was crazy busy at work and got out late most days. I think I ended up running on the treadmill twice last week.   I didn't eat much though. so I lost weight!  This morning I was down to 181.6!!!  Wooo Hooo!!  So happy to see the scale finally moving!!!!  I am getting excited about looking at clothes and trying them on again.....I haven't felt that way in a very long time! 

My goal this week is to run at least 3 times and do my abs and arms at the gym.  Hope you guys have a great week!!
