Another rainy day! Can you say TWO days in a row cancelled? I can't believe I would get that lucky!
I walked another three miles today w/ankle weights! Yahoo! Therapeutic, too! My friend is a smiley, no-nonsense gal. Love her!
Lunch w/another friend... I am going to be good. No overeating!
And, tonight my BFF is having a CABI party at our favorite restaurant. My friends have ordered this stuff before, and it was ok, but I wasn't motivated enough to go to one of those dumb house partied... However, when BFF is having it at our restaurant, not THAT is a different story!
I'm in!

Gosh, if only I marriage restoration was this easy!
Sh*T!
Fun lunch w/friend. H called while I was with her, as he had some logistics stuff to follow-up with me about... Friend answered my phone, and had some fun conversation with him, then handed over to me. He told me to find some time to have dinner with she and her H. Haven't in a long time! (Peekin' out of the fog...)
Asked me to txt him some phone numbers I had that he needed, and to remind him to call my parents. I had told him about them asking out him last week, missing him, as he's had to travel a lot.
I txt'd him later, and he replied that he had already called my Dad, and told him to find out what to do for my Mom's birthday on Sunday. (Another peek outside...)
Leavin' in a bit to go out w/girlfriends. Yea!
Oh, yea... had a little retail therapy today, as well!

Rainy, yes, but I was inside in meetings all day, so it didn't really matter. I would've been mad if it was nice, and I was stuck inside all day with ADULTS!! Can't handle it -- waiting for my littles to return.
Staff meeting, blah, number one topic - test scores. Gee, that topic is SO relative to my professional area of expertise, thank you so much for making me sit through two hours of totally irrelevant information.
Afternoon meeting was better, it was only pre-school, so the information actually pertained to me.
Next week, I could have lunch Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Since my littles don't start until Thursday, I'll be helping transition in the ECK rooms, but I can do that in the morning, instead of the afternoon. Let me know.
Off to a fundraiser -- have fun with your friends.
I agree completely with what Stormrider (I think) said:
Don't assume the worst, unless you have hard evidence.
Your mind will cause you to automatically assume the worst, but that's not necessarily the truth. Also, I think it's probably a good idea to not snoop if you have gotten some progress. I have actually gotten some progress in the right direction also in the last week, but I am trying not to let that cause me to lose my detachedness that I worked hard for.
MB GOALS --- Dinner and homework with my boys after practice every night in the kitchen - Sounds odd, but we've been so busy, and our schedules started out the school year chaotic again, that I feel like we're all living next to each other, not along with each other. Last Thursday, and last night we've come home from football/soccer training, and they did their homework at the table, while I cooked them (their third) a real dinner. Fun times! We were in there from about 7:30-9, but we got it done, and they had a healthy dinner. NOTE: We were never unhealthy, just grabbing something quick, everyone do their own thing, retreat to rooms... TOO MUCH BUSYNESS
DOING GOOD. We were able to do this the nights they had sports in the evening.
--- 1500 calories a day, MAX
DOING GOOD, EXCEPT for yesterday... Good b-fast and okay lunch, but the party last night was a killer... Mostly healthy stuff, though, and I did not drink big glasses of wine, or a martini... I had those 64 calorie light beers. They're actually not bad if you have them super cold!
--- An exercise class @ least 4 times/week
DOING REALLY GOOD! Two exercise classes, couldn't get more in as the boys soccer training was cancelled due to rain. However, I've walked three miles w/ankle weights on three mornings this week. Takes about 45 minutes each time. And, it's a good time w/a friend.
--- One salon treatment per week (:)) Next week it's micro-derm!
DOING GOOD! Mani, Pedi and eyebrow wax this week. (FUNNY STORY... Last night my newly divorced friend was at the party -- who is BEAUTIFUL inside and out -- is at the party, and she, the BFF and the other BFF and I are all at table drinking/eating/laughing... Showed them my nails, new eyebrow wax, and told them about the exercising and losing three pounds this week. BFF says, "MB/MF --- WHO AM I? LOL --- Do you have a new boyfriend or something?" LOL)
--- Reading on the hammock 2x/week
DOING BAD - It's rained every day since I published this goal. BLAH
GOALS re: MARRIAGE --- Continue the sllllloooooooow process of detaching.
DOING BAD... Cried/Sobbed last night all the way home from the party, as one of my BFF's was telling a funny story about H - and a comment about something intimate he had said once - perfectly ok. It made me so sad, though, to think that he couldn't/wouldn't make a joke like that now.
--- Show appreciation of the good in what we have.
DOING GOOD - When sons had practices cancelled on Wednesday, took the time to make a great dinner, w/favorites of everyone... spent a long time eating, laughing, cleaning up together.
--- Rock the new figure as it re-appears!
WHEN IT APPEARS I WILL!
--- Have this weight off by mid-Sept, so I can see what kind of confidence unfolds. Then, f'n use it!
ON THE RIGHT PATH! DOWN 3!

Plus, some really nice black trousers, their black Grab and Go Coat, the Flatter Me tee in Cherry, and I think I got this awesome brown belt.
I could have gotten about 10 more things. The catalog does NOT do these pieces any justice. They are truly beautiful, and I thought the prices were fair.
STILL RAINING HERE! GOD!
Next week sucks for lunch. Monday, car is finally getting fixed. Tuesday, I'm in Bloomington, and Wednesday my boss is coming to interview my candidates! GOD!
Glad to hear only a few days left before your kids come back!!! I hate Meetings, too. I don't focus well, and feel like a caged animal!

It sounds to me like you are really going to work on taking care of yourself, and the kids. You are sounding so much better, and you can post without even mentioning that other guy! I think you are inching towards detachment!
I don't think I am going to abbreviate your new name to two letters, just sayin'!
