Good morning and happy hump day! Yesterday was a good productive day even with a 4 hour training. Even though it was 78 degrees out yesterday and I over-dressed w/long sleeves+heavy sweater, that meeting room was so cold it was hard to stay focused. Next time I will bring a blanket - seriously! I have a lot of work to do still, so making a dent is the plan. I'm meeting my SIL for yoga tonight, should be fun. I love hanging out with her, she is so positive and sweet.

QOTD - I'm reading nothing significant right now - just the internet, magazines, catalogs and works stuff.

Accountability - I had a few small squares of 85% dark chocolate. It was too rich for my tummy, one would have been enough.

22mo+ out - 154.6

b-coffee x 3, L&F yogurt

l-tuna w/Skinnygirl balsamic dressing

d-leftover chicken breast or eggbeaters w/salsa

You will get there!!

G'morning all!

Last night I went to our monthly WL support meeting. Our speaker talked about depression and anxiety. I was a little frustrated because the way she was talking actually made me depressed and anxious. The situations she was presenting to us seemed so out of the norm that I thought 1)there is no way this can happen 2)here's how I can fix it...I guess I'm an optimist at heart. It was the first time I didn't enjoy the speaker at these support meetings. I also got a compliment from a woman I see there all the time, she said as long as I'm at the meeting she knows I'll bring a smile to her face! I thought that was so sweet.

QOTD: I'm reading "Lethal White" by Robert Galbraith who is actually JK Rowling. I never thought she would top anything after HP, but this series (this is the fourth book) is really good. It's a detective mystery but it has a lot of levels and I'm really enjoying it.

I would also recommend "Small great things" by Jodi Picault...talk about racial disparity!

Accountability: after the Mon fiasco yesterday was very on point.

B: protein coffee

L: turkey meatballs

S: parm cheese

D: chili lime burger

Have a great hump day!

I love this series too! They did a mini series adaption on Cinemax over the summer - not as good as the books but I enjoyed it. The casting was really good!

good morning friends,

I am in the beginnings of a cold I think and I felt pretty yucky last night and fell asleep at 8:15 haha. I obviously needed the sleep but I am still tired today and hoping that either my body fights this thing off before it gets worse or it will just hurry up and progress so I can get over it!

I have a strange situation that I haven't really talked to anyone about because I guess I feel guilty about it--an old friend who I used to have a massive crush on called me the other night. I haven't really talked to him in years, and he is also married...but he has been texting me and flirting ever since, and it is really really hard for me to not feel flattered and stir up old feelings. We used to talk every day for hours back in my 20's but my feelings were unrequited. I don't really know what to do about it. I haven't told my DH and I know it would make him upset if he knew because he knows how I felt about this person back then. (way before i met my DH)...Like I said, we are both married and committed to our spouses but seriously this is the weirdest feeling and I am not sure how to handle it. I really don't want to stop talking to him even though I know that's probably the best option, and he lives in another state so it's not like we're seeing eachother...but ugh. I am twisted up about it all! I don't really expect any truely useful advice, but I needed to get that off my chest.

QOTD: I just finished "strange the dreamer" and am almost finished with the sequel "Muse of Nightmares" by Laini Taylor and I have to be honest, these are the best books I've read (well listened to- Audible) in a really long time...they are going to completely ruin me for another book for a while. I feel the emotions in my guts! SOOOO GOOD!!!! if you like magic and fantasy you NEED to read these.

B: coffee w/sf creamer, L&F greek yogurt
L: leftover turkey meatballs w/sf BBQ and Broccoli salad
S: string cheese
D: salmon burgers w/mixed veg

Amber, I'm gonna tell you this as an older sister. This is a slippery slope. I know somebody who started this whole thing with innocent texts and slowly it got worse. If I can play devil's advocate, ask yourself why you wouldn't tell your husband if these texts were so innocent? I know you like the compliment and attention but think about it...what does he get out of this a state away? And why all the attention now? Is it because you have lost weight (so you weren't good enough for him before?) or is it because he is bored with his marriage (so are you a distraction?). Either case it's for HIS benefit not yours. I know this is very sexists to say but men who do this are not emotionally involved they are just playing, but women get emotionally involved and things go bad from there.

In short, if I were you I would step away from these innocent flirtations. They will slowly become not so innocent.

Hugs
