LC Day 78

Back at work after a lovely weekend. Weather was fabulous...too bad I stayed inside almost the whole time.

I went in for my "personal training" on saturday, only to have my trainer not show up. Wow...that was annoying. I put in 20 minutes on a treadmill and then left to return to the torn up house I left behind. I've reconfigured a couple of rooms...gotten rid of some stuff (well...moved to the garage for now, anyway) and am gearing up to do some painting in my next time off days (which may be next week). I'm not entirely sure what my next steps are as far as selling. I guess I can try for a roommate first...try to get by with that and hope the market comes back around. The only problem is that I feel like my home is an anchor when it comes to finding a new job. Everything that earns any kind of money is going to be 50+ miles north of where I live...in horrendous traffic, which is just not my idea of living a good life. I don't know what to do...but no matter what my decision, I'm taking the right steps by cleaning/painting/prepping now.

Food went great this weekend...but I'm up 2 pounds. I started a new water pill that doesn't work QUITE as well as the old...so hopefully this 2 pound upper is my "new baseline" and I won't go up any further from there...we'll see. The new pill is supposed to resolve the massive potassium issues I've been having...but clearly it's coming at a cost of not working as well. I think it also made me have "tummy troubles" yesterday...I felt like crud! I walked around Costco and Best Buy and then when I got home just felt like I needed a nap. What an exhausting day. Poor tummy...had some pretty bad "issues".

I've been burning ketones....which is really good. Seeing my pee stick turn purple actually saved me from a binge the other day...just feeling like crud, wanting comfort food, wanting an escape and not feeling like the eating was going well caught me in a bad spiral that actually stopped with seeing the ketones. Thank goodness I spend money on those stupid little sticks. LOL My Costco shopping trip could have gone in a completely different direction! Really....what does a single woman need with a sheet cake and a vat of cookies? Instead I now own a lifetime supply of romaine lettuce and alfredo sauce...

I'm feeling the "urge" to look for love again...because I've been "oh so successful" with this in the past (please note the sarcasm)...so....I need some tips. I'm getting too old for the bar scene. Yahoo personals was a complete waste of money last time...guys don't hit on me in the grocery store or the gym (I'm fairly certain my crutch is kryptonite) and I don't go to church...so what other options are there to find someone? I truly believe I make a great girlfriend...but chemistry is very important to me...and for some reason it doesn't matter as much to others so I usually end up on the dumping end of things. I hate dating...but I want someone special in my life...I feel like it's time. What to do???
