Had one good point today. W called and left me a voicemail while I was at work. She's taking yoga and I was to watch the girls tonight - she was calling with dinner suggestions. She mentioned "I noticed you've been trying to eat healthier, so..." and suggested a couple of healthier options. I never really mentioned that eating healthier was one of my goals, I think because it's been a forced goal, somewhat - ever since d-day, my appetite has gone to crap, and all I can seem to eat is what is more healthy and/or just less quantity. One funny thing I've been doing as an experiment is sucking in my gut. I've lost a little bit of gut because of my changed eating habits (not quite like my 30 lbs I lost after my last gf breakup), and it's been easier to just suck it in these past few weeks. I've had a bit of a gut growing over the past few years, and I look completely different if I suck it in, particularly when shirtless. Not one word from W - not that I expected it, again just an experiment.
One funny thing happened, too. Today was a friend's birthday, and a bunch of folks were meeting at a local bar that's a bit of a drive from our house. W called me and said she was going to drop by there before yoga - I had been thinking "man, it would be nice to drop by and see everyone, but W is going to yoga and I have to watch the girls". After W told me she was going, I got PISSED. I checked on a couple of the friends that had kids and they said they were going to bring them - the bar has a fenced-off outside patio we could take over. So, I said "screw it, I'm going, and I'm taking the girls with me." Called W and let her know, so she wouldn't hear about us going from someone else - she thought it was a great idea. We went, had a great time seeing everyone, and left around 8:30. I knew W's yoga class ended about that time, and she'd probably beat me home. Sure enough, around 9pm, W calls me from the driveway, on her cell phone (ie. didn't even wait until getting inside to use the house phone) asking me where I was, in a voice that was bordering on irritation/anger. I just kind of laughed interally and told her I'd be home in about 20 min.
