• Happy Friday: Day 12 is Here!

  Another Day of Sobriety - Day 11 down - Today is Day 12

  Last night I taught my spin class - it was so nice to be back.  My girls at my local gym all chipped in and gave me a dunkin donuts gift card for $20 for volunteering to open the studio and teach an hour and a half class on Monday morning when the gym was closed.  I was so touched.  They all came up to me and hugged me and told me how much they appreciate all that I do.  It was very moving.

  After that - I figured out why I was so run down, crabby and a wild beast yesterday...not to mention the slight weight gain...you got it:

  I got my period!

  I was so happy because I realized what I was feeling was completely normal.  Everything was fine.  I feel better today.  And my weight is back down:

  177.4!

  Only 1 pound down from last week, but I am still retaining some period bloat - I can feel it.  I'm just happy I have a loss!  I am losing slow but and steady.  Sure I would love to see some big numbers...but in due time...in due time.

  I went grocery shopping where I bought meat.  I had this urge for beef.  I bought chicken breasts, turkey tenderloins and different kinds of cut lean(er) beef.  I had about 2 oz of beef last night and 2 oz of the turkey ternderloin along with a small baked potato and broccoli.

  On my way back from the grocery store I was listening to some chill out music on my iPhone.  It reminded me of when I was a little girl.  I used to play this computer game that my father introduced me to.  I was kinda awkward and the kids at school really picked on me so I had this game to build my own fantasy-like life.  I got that feeling back and it made me feel young, innocent and really anticipated the future.  It was an incredible feeling - one that I would never feel drunk - only sober.

  I have a new favorite cocktail.  I call it my fizzy lifting drink (yeah - like Willy Wonka's).  It's 2 parts lime flavored seltzer water and 1 part Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Grape Juice (5 cals a serving).  It is sooooo good and sooooo refreshing!

  Today I am really busy at work.  My buddy is out doing his last day of treatment.  I have a ton of analysis and tickets open for applications that I support.  Tonight I teach Friday Spin.  I think I will go an hour tonight :)  Perhaps I will do something different/special.  My mom will be there tonight.  My mom and sister have been pressuring me about what I want for my birthday/what I want to do for my birthday.  What a pain in the ass.

  Niko caught another bird this morning.  I hear BF downstairs working out and he starts yelling "NOOOOO!  NIKO NO!  LET HIM GO!"  I ran downstairs and there is Niko squashed on the ground...bf is holding him down by his neck and spanking his rear end.  Niko had a bird in his jaw and refused to let go.  I ran over and put my thumb and index finger around his snout to open his jaw.  I said "DROP IT!"  He did.  Poor bird was stunned.  It was a female sparrow.  She kept chirping while I held her.  Good thing I am experienced at bird handling - I've owned birds for about 10 years now.  You cup them and just make sure you hold down thier wings and they are folded against thier body so they are comfortable and you don't hurt thier wings.  When I brought her outside...She had a small puncture in her neck :(  Some of her blood got on my hand.  But she flew away okay.  She wasn't bleeding that much - I just hope she makes it.

  Tomorrow my BF is taking me to the Boston Aquarium.  I'm so excited!  I love animals and I especially love water creatures.  I am going to take an early class and then we are going to leave around 10am wander around until they close - then he is taking me for a nice dinner in Boston.  I'll try to get some pictures taken.  I am going to pack mad snacks, my iPhone and some new magazines for the trip tomorrow.  He'll do all the driving.  The only time he has let me drive his Jeep (while he's in it) is when we went to Cape Cod and the ride there was getting confusing.  I know the area like the back of my hand so I drove to be easier.  He'll let me take his Jeep if my car is having trouble and I need to teach a class, go to the store, etc.  But he likes to drive his woman everywhere...opens the car door and everything.

  He's so cute because he's a little old-fashioned like that - for my mom's birthday he took the both of us out for dinner on a Friday night.  He picked us up at my mom's house and opened & closesd the door for the both us in his Jeep.  It was really gentleman like of him.  My mom was so charmed.

  Maybe we can fool around before we leave for Boston tomorrow :) :) :)
