Date

Well, yesterday I went on my first “date” in six years (they aren’t “dates” when you are in a long term relationship)… Of course, despite my relationship skills I had when I was younger, I was scared… For one thing she was a Gator as recently as last April, and I have had a particular horrible experience with a Gator in the past… Of course, nobody probably agrees with me on that, but I don’t care… Anyways, it went a lot better then I expected and I actually didn’t scare her off and it looks like we are going to the movies this Saturday… We seem to have a ton in common… Some of the exciting things are that we’re both allergic to shell fish and hate all other fish with a passion, we both have lived in Europe, etc… I don’t know if anything is going to come out of this, but it is a definite morale booster getting voluntary attention from a female… Also, last weekend at a Chinese New Year party another female was all over me… he he… anyways, I am finally below 175, which had been my plateau for about a year… I hit 169.5 last night in fact… pretty sweet… During Christmas and Thanksgiving I had started to gain some weight back… I was back up to 189… so I’ve lost 20 lbs since New Years… I only eat out twice a week, I work out MUCH more often then I ever have, and when I eat at home I eat mainly fruits and veggies… Anyways, my whole point is that I’m finally feeling a lot better about myself, even if it doesn’t work out, my perspective on things is definitely improving…
