Okay, this week looks to be a good week. He called on Monday night to "touch base". I bubbled him back 24 hours later with an upbeat text. Next day I needed to spend some money on bras, just texted , giving him a heads up. No phone contact from me. Had a fun dinner with daughter #2 and bought three pairs of pants 'cuz I'm down a couple sizes. We worked out last night and I slept all the way through the night...YAY! Today I got to work and everyone was SO complimentary, and it just boosted my mood. While working , I got a call from my WAS. Listened to message and he was " updating" me. I waited a couple of hours before returning call. Got voice mail, and left a " just callin' ya back" message. He immediately phoned me back. He was chatty and upbeat, job offer going well, more money than he expected and this is good. His stress is diminishing. He wanted to chat about my job, how it went last week, and asked me how my day went. I was in a great mood so it was definitely coming across. He proceeded to mention the girls and their things, he mentioned my weight loss again. I was pretty upbeat about it, feels real good to get it off and go forward. I cut off the conversation after about five minutes because I had to get back on the road, so I told him I had to go. He told me to drive carefully, and I said thanks. Light, confident, loving, and brief! Decided to go eat something fun today...not what I've been typically eating a Wendy's hamburger and some B&R . When I walked into B&R the owner couldn't stop complimenting me on my weight loss and how great I looked! I probably won't have a day like this again for awhile, so I'm going to relish it and take a nap with a smile on my face! Husband did say he would come over early on Sunday to do some yard work prior to taking daughter car shopping. I won't hold my breath, besides I won't be here, have class! I need to set another goal, just don't know where to begin. I had set a detach and GAF, while it would be nice if he reached out to me. I can't control what he does, so when I got two calls in less than a week, it has thrown me. I would like another lunch or dinner, but that I can't control. I am going to take a dance class...SWING! Hoot! Monday night, I can't wait to do this, always wanted to do it. Now I can!
