Lodo - Thanks for the nutrition info. I'm working on eating correctly as that, along w/ the exercise, are the most difficult things to do. My problem has been the extra snacking which only makes my struggle worse.

Phoenixdeux - Once again your post was timely to remind me of where my focus and perspective should be. You are correct, she has to win me back - not the other way around. She also hasn't done anything to get me overly optimistic to date, so I need to shift focus on to myself for sure. If I'm moving well, then it won't matter if she comes back or not. Also, if I'm confident w/out her, I'll be more attractive to her. So, that is what I've got to do.

I've still got my dad and D, so I've got to be brief in my recap.

Yesterday was our 8-year wedding anniversary, but I honestly was thinking the 21st was today, so I didn't think too much about it. We took D to Big Surf and played in the wave pool and water slides for 3 1/2 hours. D had a blast and was asleep quickly last night.

D did talk w/ W and then called W's sister as the 21st is W's sister's birthday. Again, I didn't have D call as I thought the date was the 20th, so I'm sure that didn't make W too happy. Oh, well.

W and I did trade texts a few days ago where she mentioned that she really loves my father and would like to see him. She also said that her feelings for him and my step mother have made this D decision very difficult for her. Maybe this will be something that causes her to do a double-take or maybe not. As usual, only time will tell.

As for me, I'm tired and have a headache today. Not sure why, but I've got one. My father and I will drop off D this afternoon and then we may go back downtown for another D-Backs game where we can actually sit and talk this time as opposed to Sunday where I spent most of my time following D around the stadium.

Hey, I've got to run, but I'll be able to catch up w/ everyone's threads either tomorrow night or during the day on Thursday.

Talk to you all soon and I'll update when I can and if there is anything interesting to report.
