my friend krysta is coming to stay for a while. she moved to halifax a few years ago, and has hated it since pretty much the moment she arrived. several times she has said that she'd like to come home, but has changed her mind for one reason or another. most of what has tethered her there the last year or two has been her boyfriend, with whom she's had an up and down relationship, to say the least. thursday was the last straw. they broke up, and she's desperate to come home. i've offered to lend her airfare, and said she can crash here for a few weeks or a month, until she gets her shit together and has her feet under her here. she's from the gta, and while her family isn't very supportive of her, her friends here cannot wait to have her back. i'm afraid things might be a little awkward while she's living here, just because i haven't had a roommate in 4 years or so, and josh and i are used to being on our own. i know she's grateful for a place to stay tho, and there was never any doubt that i'd help her get back to toronto. her tentative return date is may 13th, so she's got a couple of weeks to tie up loose ends out there and start looking for jobs and apartments here, and i've got a couple of weeks to clean my apartment, re-arrange the spare bedroom, and enjoy walking around nekkid on a whim.
speaking of not wearing clothes, tonight i stumbled upon some nudie pics on my computer that i'd forgotten about. i have to say, damn! i look good. they're about 2 years old, but are totally motivating me to get my sexy back. spray tan is looking more appealing by the moment. plus of course, the diet, which is continuing.
today was official weigh-in #2, and i'm down another pound, for a 2 week total of 10.2 lbs lost. i'm feeling really good. we started phase 2 today, and all i wanted to add back was fruit. raspberries with my breakfast were like candy, and the granny smith apple i had for snack was delicious. dinnertime was when things went down hill... sort of. i have been craaaving sushi, so even tho i knew it was dangerous, josh and i decided to go out for dinner. i had miso soup, and stuck mostly to sashimi, tho i did have a piece of tempura shrimp, and some sushi [yes, white rice]. so, good things, and bad things. the worst part was that i left feeling stuffed. i haven't felt stuffed, or overly full, or had that heavy feeling after a meal since we started this diet. it may not have been the greatest meal in terms of the way we've been trying to eat, but it really did show me that what i've been doing has been on the right track, and i know not to do that again any time soon. i'm not beating myself up over it, and i know that with this diet, i can get back on the horse, so to speak, and just keep going. one meal isn't going to derail my progress.
on that note, i'm actually really looking forward to packing my lunch for tomorrow, and getting back into my routine. i'll go grocery shopping after work tomorrow, and stock our fridge with tons of veggies. i even get to eat dinner with joshua a few nights this week, and i'm really looking forward to making us some delicious, healthy meals. wednesday night will rosted pork tenderloin with roasted broccoli, zucchini, and cauliflower. i'm excited already. |
