My Newest Obsession

So after a disastrous return to the dating world, I am heading back into retirement. Having sworn off men, I needed a new focus. George Strait wasn't a good one because he is afterall...a man. Then there was the whole cleaning/cooking thing, but that lasted about...ummm...30 seconds. After that it was work, which lasted the longest, however burn out was inevitable.

I should pause here and say that I have learned two very valuable life lessons in recent weeks:

1. Don't date your car salesman, because when he turns out to be a jerk you will resist the urge to take a sledge hammer to your car every time you get in it. And let's face it, you spent waaaay too much money just to demolish it with an over-sized hammer.

2.Don't date your health coach because when he doesn't call you back and disappears for weeks on end only to resurface like nothing happened and no time has elapsed, you will be fighting the urge to binge eat on Ben & Jerrys and cookie dough at 3 a.m. The worst part is that your health coach is supposed to be the one you can call in those moments, but you can't because he happens to be the same emotionally stunted degenerate you are dating!!

The only thing possibly worse than dating your car salesman and your health coach is when one person embodies both of those roles in your life. Yes I am just that dumb!

So anyway...I digress.

The single good thing about being dating challenged is that I was introduced to a new diet that actually seems to be working for me. And in the light of this new found success, a new obsession was born. I am completely obsessed with weight loss. I count calories, workout, and resist National Doughnut Day at work (stupid Krispy Kreme doughnts were everywhere!)

My success has been minor over the past two weeks but I have lost 4lbs and my grandma is now frantically taking 4 inches off of a bridesmade dress that I have to wear in less than two weeks. That feels amazing. The first two weeks of the diet were a little rough due to the aforementionted dating disaster, however I have a new health coach and am finally on the right track.

I am thinking once I get to my goal weight I will have to buy a little black dress to wear when I go trade my car in...here we go again!!
