Well, luckily from start to finish the date was just around 2 hours. And at least I got some left over Chinese food and a Godiva chocolate bar out of it.

Update:

I spontaneously met someone I just contacted online on Saturday. We met up on Sunday to watch a football game at a sports bar. He joked and said watching the game was "insurance" in case the date sucked then there would at least be something to do/occupy the silence. Hahahaa. Needless to say it went very well and we barely watched the game (which I didn't care but I felt bad for him). At the end of the game he said he was having a great time and wanted to know if I wanted to do something afterwards. So we went to a bar near his part of town and talked for hours. In all my date lasted 7 hours and ended with a fabulous kiss. He's funny, intelligent, sweet...no serious red flags as of yet...not even close to red flags. He wants to see me again "soon" - his words.

I am rather confident that I will lose to reach my goal weight by the end of this year. I would be so enthused, but I already feel so content with where I'm at. I really don't want my boobs to shrink any more!!!! I still have them, but they're droopier and getting droopier as the pounds come off. Ugh. At least they still look ample in a bra.

I'm going to try out the new gym tonight that I may join...I get two weeks free from my friend signing up. I'm excited to go. But, my dog has been sick and I'm concerned and don't want to go and come home with her having shit everywhere...it's very sporadic. It's very on and off again with diarrhea. Last week she was also puking. But she keeps getting better so I don't take her to the vet, but it's not going away so I'm taking her on Thursday...the first date I could get.

Jenn, you haven't posted your stats. How much have you lost and how close are you to your goal? As far as the boobs go: I thought I was blessed to have not lost them. But alas, I swear they disintegrated when I lost the last 10 pounds. Thank designers for padded bras! I used to get ticked when I'd see them in the stores and couldn't wear them because I was too big. Now I love them.

I hope all works out well with the new guy. Keep us informed. You look sensational.

Victoria's Secret has a new bra out. Supposed to add 2 cup sizes. Push up, plunging and padded all in one are the only type i use now. Or else, i'd look like the president of the itty bitty titty committee.
