Happiness In My Ears

****

Now is the only time over which we have dominion.

Leo Tolstoy

Today was a different Saturdays than I normally have. Why
you may ask? Because I actually left the house! I went to
the bank to deposit my check and I went to the Family
Friendly Fitness Center (because Annie has been badgering
me to go for weeks and I'm back on track with my weight
loss). I got in a good little workout and I feel great.
Mentally, I'm feeling a little down today (I'm lonely),
but physically I'm feeling stronger and lighter.

Even though I kicked my own ass yesterday between the gym
and dancing, I didn't wake up as sore as I'd expected.
Surprisingly enough I'm not in as bad a shape as I thought
I was. It hasn't been that long since I was gung ho. I
just put on some weight. Now I'm taking it off. Snookums
called me tonight and he said words that will forever
resonate happiness in my ears. He said that when he gets
home, he'll go to the gym with me because he wants to
MAINTAIN the weight he's lost out at sea. I've always
gotten on him about his weight. He eats and eats and eats
right up until a month before PRT (physical readiness
training), then he eats nothing (gets grumpy and bites
everyone's head off) and then just barely meets standards.
Only to start the cycle all over again that very night.
I'll be so happy for him if he's able to break out of
that. Although, I'm not one to talk. I gained back 20
pounds. But, may I add, I've kept myself within a healthy
weight range for the past two years. It'll be exactly two
years August 24. There's improvement right there. For me.
I'm not obese anymore and I never will be again.

So, once the girls and I got home this afternoon. There
wasn't much going on. Kiki took her nap, Annie watched
cartoons and colored. I cleaned. I'm in the process of
washing all of Kiki's sheets, blankets and stuffed animals
because this morning she decided to take off her diaper
and pee in her crib. So, needless to say the laundry
didn't get done today because it's animal washing day at
the Allen residence. I'm almost done now, though.

I need to go eat something. I've had a total of 470
calories today and I think I need a little more than that.
I probably burned that much at the gym. Ciao until
tomorrow.
