Oh...where has the motivation gone......just kidding! I'm still motvated. It dropped a little in the middle of the month. I was working a lot of hours and only getting to the Y on days I had to go for aerobics class.

This week has been super for exercise and the eating hasn't been half bad either. My lowest calories was 1320 and the highest was 1644. Subtract all the calories I burnt with exercise, I should be sitting pretty this week. I need it because I stayed the same for our first weigh-in for the biggest loser.

Exercise this week has been a little bit of everything. Tuesday was our exercise class. It's a mixture of cardio and weights. It will kick your ass. I also did 2 miles on the crosstrainer after class. Wednesday, I took the day off. So, I was able to go to the y before they closed due to the bad weather. In our county, if the roads get to bad to travel they issue a travel advisory and you could be arrested if you're caught on the roads. Well, it was bad. I have 4 wheel drive and was hitting drifts that were a couple feet high. Weee...that was fun. Luckily, I was able to keep it on the road. And tonight, our class was cancelled so I did 2.2 miles on the crosstrainer and then did half an hour of spin class.

Ah...I forgot....I put the Jeep in the ditch 3 weeks ago and just got it back. I hit a fence post and knocked the taillight out and damaged the bumper. It was about $2,000 worth of damage. I hit some black ice on a bridge. Actually, I was very lucky. I'm not at all worriied about the money because I wasn't hurt and I didn't hurt anyone else. It was early in the morning so there wasn't much traffic.

In other news, I don't think things are going very far with Mark. He's not coming back from Florida till March. We've still been e-mailing about once a week but things are just fizzling. I don't feel a connection. But that doesn't mean there isn't another possiblity......:)

A dear dear friend of mine just popped up in my life again. He was my best bud for a lot of years and then he got a girlfriend that isolated him. He wasn't able to talk to me and she didn't even like him seeing his guy friends. I'm sure at first he was happy that she want to spend so much time with him but it got old after a while but he had a hard time getting away from her. I guess he's been split up from her for over a year. Anyway, my friend's mother died on the 6th and I went to the funeral. The funeral was at my church and I stayed to help with the dinner. We ended up talking for a long time and have talked on the phone for hours since then. We always had this underlined tension/attraction between us. We can talk about anything with each other. The good and bad thing is we know so much about each other. He knows everything about my former relationships including intimate things. He actually reminded me of some things I had forgotten. I'm not sure where it will lead. I'm afraid I'll ruin friendship if things go bad. I've missed him so much over the years. so...we'll see.
