This weekend felt very.. very.. long. I was housesitting for Andrea's - I love her place! Pool table, hot tub, trampoline, and tons and tons of movies.
Friday evening I went and looked at that place where I would be able to keep Isabella if I wanted. It seemed really nice.. I liked the guy there and the rooms were huge and airy. Our dogs got along fantastically. However.. it was 10 to 15 minutes of a drive from any sort of town. I was stressed out after I came home from the place, didn't know what to do. What decision to make. Finally after a lot of thought this weekend, I decided not to take the place. I figured, I'm 25, single.. and I need to have some sort of social interaction.. whether it be my friends from the barn or being able to go out into downtown Walnut Creek without it being a huge deal. So I cruised the craigslist ads again, wrote a few people.. and I think I may have found another 25 year old chickie to find a place with.
Sharon came over after that to watch a movie with me.. we spent about 30 minutes trying to get the DVD player to work (Andrea has about 4 remote controls for their entertainment system) and then we sat and watched "The Green Mile". It was an amazing movie.. it touched my heart.. last night I was telling Bob about the movie and tears came to my eyes as I told him the ending.. I recommend everyone out there to see this movie. Simply amazing.
After I dropped off Sharon at home, I went online and chatted for a while with random folks. I was bored outta my ass and I finally went to bed around 2:30am. I had to get up at 8 to weigh in at the nutritionist office. So I get to the office at 9am and I find out my appt is at 9:30am! Argh, how annoying. Anyways, when my appt comes around I tell the woman that I don't think I lost any weight. I had my period the week before and the whole time I felt bloated and gross. Well, it turns out I lost 4 pounds! I couldn't believe it. I'm only 12 pounds away from my original goal weight that they had given me in the beginning.. however, I don't think the goal weight they gave me is what I want to weigh ultimately.. I want to lose more to be happy. I still have about 3 more months on the plan then 2 months of maintenance.
When I got back to Andrea's, I donned my new bathing suit and laid out most of the day. I got a little burnt.. not bad. I read a whole novel, watched about 6 movies, and basically had no human contact with anyone!! It was a little unusual. So I hopped online for a while.. then I did something that I thought I would never, EVER do. I'll leave it at that for now. :) Let's just say I had the whole house to myself and I was up until 4:30am.
In the morning I had to get up early to clean up and be out before Andrea got back.. so I got little sleep like the night before. I got home and slept for another 3 hours. I did a few things, and by the time I got around to eating again, it had been about 22 hours since I last ate. I had some Trader Joe's chicken curry with rice which went RIGHT through me. yay for spicey food!! I went to the barn afterwards, gave my girl a kiss and rode her around for a little bit.
It was a long, fun weekend. :)
