Wow, where did the time go?

Aug 17, 2009

Yeah, has been a loooooong time since I've blogged. Probably because I live my life on Twitter and Facebook. And that life is insanely busy.

Not a whole lot has changed for me. Well... working insane hours at times. Was at a plateau for about 3 months and now am at a crawl. Not too worried though, I guess. In the past month I've dropped about a size and a half. Most of my 1X clothes are baggy now. Wore some capris yesterday that seriously needed the drawstring to hold them up. Even w/ shrinkage my Bahamas shirts are big on me. Went out on a limb and ordered two awesome t-shirts last week. One is a regular guy's shirt in M-- and it's a perfect fit! The other is a babydoll t in L. It looks too snug so I haven't even tried it on yet, but I hope to get into it in the next month. Maybe.

Am eating more things as time progresses. Have stopped denying myself little treats now and then. If getting my protein in for the day means having a lite/sf caramel w/ protein from Starbucks, so be it! Course it helps that the 'Bucks employee that recommended them to my sis also had a gastric bypass. Eating occasional fruit now, which was one of my no-no's before. Doing much better w/ eating all my protein though I keep protein drinks for the times I just don't feel like eating or don't quite get enough in. Yesterday I even bought some fat-free whip cream (1g sugar/carb per serving) to put on top of my protein cocoa. 

Confession time: I am such a bum. I'm ashamed and embarrassed to say that I have hardly worked out at all of late. Yeah, I'm a slacker. I know I would probably lose faster if I got off my hindparts, but there you have it. Which is not to say that I've been sitting and doing nothing. Am definitely far more active than in the past. I do go for walks and run around acting silly, but the actual structured exercise is still lacking.

In other news, still single. Ha. Yeah... weird things happening there. Generally have wretched luck w/ the opposite sex, so it's hardly surprising. Have been spending way too much time w/ one of my co-workers and his friends. Part of it is work-related, the rest is pure gaming/hanging out. He's sweet and makes me laugh but is way too immature. He knows about my surgery and everything, too. So when all of us go out he tries to look out for me as far as making sure there's something on the menu I can eat, etc. Regretfully, Duck and another friend from work are convinced that he has a thing for me-- and his behavior makes me wonder at times. Not gonna worry about it though. He hasn't actually asked me out or anything like that, so it's all good. Though he did kiss me on the forehead the other night and  the last time he hugged me (cuz I'd been particularly nice during a gaming session and had been sick) it kinda lasted a bit too long. He smelled good though, so can't complain.

Not sure if I wrote about this, but a few months back a guy walked up and handed me a disgusting and disturbing note at work. Yeah, not cool. Creepy-stalker-icky uncool. Handed it off to our director who played the role of mama lion and threatened to ban him if he had any further contact w/ me. Last week I had to report him for speaking to me. Don't even know what he said, but he'd been watching me. Told a co-worker I felt like I needed a scalding shower... and she said he needed scalded water applied to certain parts of his anatomy. Bless her, she made me feel a bit better... in an evil sort of way.

Another patron went out of his way to tell me how beautiful I am and eventually wrote me a (surprisingly polite and well-written) letter. Though I don't find him attractive, I was so impressed by his approach and obvious intelligence that I would have gone out with him-- if he didn't have FOUR kids. So I wrote an equally polite and kind response gently explaining that I would be happy to pursue a friendship, but nothing more because becoming attached to someone else's family = heartbreak. Not my precise reason, but diplomacy is best when feelings could get hurt. Right... next!

Other guys... not much there either. Pretty sure I posted something about online dating a while back. Well, haven't gotten around to meeting anyone and deleted my accounts... but do still talk to a couple of guys from there. One is just amusing to me. No way I'd ever think about meeting him because he's too pushy, but he does entertain me. The other one-- if he is all he seems to be-- has potential. We've talked on the phone once, albeit briefly since he was calling internationally. Absolutely smexi accent. Sweet guy, might be fun to actually meet him. Still when it comes to meeting... I get a bit antsy about the whole WLS deal-- when/if to tell and all that. Long way off though, so no point stressing.
