Still Plugging Away ...

Resorting to blogging on my iPhone because my cricket got squashed like a bug and I now have to buy a new one. I've been plugging along with my workouts - exercised four days last week and just did my third workout of the week tonight.

In addition to doing at least 30 minutes on the treadmill three times a week I have added a daily regimen of drinking 64oz of H2O and food journaling. The LoseIt! app on the iPhone makes it super easy to log foods because all entries can be recalled later if you eat the same food again which I think most of us tend to do. It also automatically determines how many calories per day to have to lose two pounds a week. Convenience is a big key to unlock becoming fit. The less I have to think the better.

As for dating, January was the best of times and the worst of times. I had more dates last month than any other single month I can recall in a long, long time. The bad news is that two guys stood me up. The guy I made beef stew for on Sunday night not only didn't bother to show he has yet to call, text or email an apology. This would have been our fourth date and the other three were pleasant and polite so I definitely didn't see that one coming. The other guy who flaked did so more than once, but at least I found out before he was supposed to pick me
up. Today he asked me out again for this weekend, but I'm not prepared to give him a second
chance - yet.

On the bright side I've "met" three other guys online just this week so we'll see if anything develops. I've met one of them in person. He was nice and I enjoyed watching a movie with him,
but even his Tom Cruise smile didn't cause the sparks to fly. Still, it does the heart good
to spend time with another person who cared enough to want to spend time with me. That is
always a warm fuzzy.

No matter what, I vow to enjoy my weekend date or no date and continue to remain optimistic that one day I will meet a heart and soul that speaks to mine. After all, I was raised in Louisiana and this Sunday the New Orleans Saints are playing in the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history. How could I not believe in miracles?
