WOO HOO I HAVE HIT A LOSS OF..................you'll have to read to find out

We cannot choose our external circumstances,
but we can always choose how to respond to them.

So, today has been an incredibly interesting day. We got ready real quick today because we had eye appointments so I had a cup of coffee, showered and we ran out the door. It was an interesting exam.
One of the guys that works at the eye place, & is the manager, hit on me the entire time and gave me his number. I didn't not give him mine, although he has access to it. It was very flattering and I may even go out with him eventually. I have to see. I told my friend Joe to tell him I had a lot on my plate right now but I would think about it and let him know if I would when my glasses came in during the week. Ugh.... dating, I thought I would not have to do this anymore. I honestly thought I would spend the rest of my life with the last guy I was dating. Not really sure if we are broken up or not,, but things are different. I still love him with all my heart, but there are some things that would have to change before we moved forward, so I have to keep myself open to the fact that dating is really and probably going to be the best thing for me right now. I guess time will tell.... Oh n let's not forget that, getting older is so sucky sometimes. I had to get progressive lenses. UGH thank GOD it is not bad, but it's easier to get it, and my eyes have changed because of the pressure from my Chiari 1. So, that's not fun. I have always had great eye sight. So, hopefully we will be able to get me all fixed up and then my eye sight won't get worse.

So, after my eye appointment, I ran to my Dr's and picked up my blood pressure medicine, and well, I had my blood pressure done, it was 124/78 and I had dropped another 3 lbs this week, putting me at a 29.5 lb weight loss in less than 2 months! I am actually astounded! I can't even believe it! I am of course so proud of myself, but I have so much more to go! I actually want to lose another 70 lbs.  I would really like to lose 100 lbs but I am doing it a little at a time. But I am so incredibly proud of how far I have come in such a short time.

After that Lexi & I went to lunch, I got asparagus wrapped with turkey & bacon! OMG NEW favorite of mine! Healthy & delicious!!!
We then had a girls afternoon and got our nails done & pedicures! So nice to be pampered! I NEVER DO THAT!!!
Well I have so much to do! I needed to write this early, since my evening is booked solid.
Oh my friend & lifestyle change buddy did her  half marathon at Disney this morning. I am sure she did awesome. Can't wait to hear from her!  I will be doing that with her next year!!! SO excited!

Hope you all have an awesome evening.

Godspeed..
