New Update

Well, hey, it's been a while. Hello handsome!

Things are good here. Busy with work - I've been doing better at managing stress but I still work to get in my cardio workouts during the week. I think I'm spending too much time at work - damn job is getting in the way of my waistline. Speaking of which, the personal training combined with 100 DoH has really started to show some results. My body fat percentage is down to 18, I've lost 3 inches on my waist since December, and about an inch everywhere else. I'm two pounds from my weight goal. The only thing that's really not going well is the cardio - it's just tough for me to get in 30-45 minutes each day. The real problem is that I have trouble sleeping, so I usually take a sleeping pill, but then I sleep too late the next morning and I have to rush off to wherever and I never make it the gym. I'm trying to get myself off the sleeping pills, but then I'll be tossing and turning until 4 am and that's REALLY frustrating. I've had sleeping problems for years and you know I do all the wrong things, have too much caffeine in my diet, eat too late in the day, read in bed, etc. And instead of changing all those things, I just pop a Tylenol PM, which is effective but also has its drawbacks.

Wedding planning seems to be in the final stages. I picked up my dress last week and I think it looks great. I'm really happy with it. I'm just sad I have no one to show it off to yet. I came home and begged eBoy to let me show it to him, but he refused (now he gets all traditional on me). So it sits in the closet. If he goes away next weekend, maybe I'll put it on and clean the house and then sit around and drink a glass of (dealcoholized) white wine. Anyway, we picked out our wedding announcements, which we'll hopefully be ordering this week. And I turned the rest of the planning over to eBoy, I just didn't have the bandwidth.

Work is better. It's still a totally evil pit of vipers, but I'm coping better. I really hope the interview with the PsyD program next week goes well though. I need to get back into school.
