I’ve lost 6 lbs so far on the Whole Life Challenge plan. I mostly think it’s because I weighed myself the morning after my pre-challenge binge (I’m guessing added 3 lbs of just pure “bad stuff”), but I’m still going with it. I’ve decided that when I finally lose 8 more lbs I’m going to let myself get naked in front of someone. This will put me back into the zone where I was when I met ex-Fiancé #1 (EXMS). My clothes fit really well and I looked and felt great. I realize that this is a strange way of goal setting, but you have to realize that it’s now been ONE YEAR since I last had sex, so you can see where my mind is, no?

This just in, and it happens to be somewhat related: after not hearing from him in weeks, Bachelor Party Marty just texted me a super naughty gif of a couple in a compromising position, and then he said, “NSFW, but this is how I picture you and me sometimes.” If he can wait eight more pounds, I may have my target already picked out. I wrote back, telling him I was blushing and he asked if maybe we could have some wine and some fun sometime… Uh oh. More breaking news: he, of course, wants sooner than later. How do I lose 8 lbs FAST?!

Did I tell you that Brown Nosey (from work) is doing this challenge with me? It cracks me up because she’s still as passive aggressive and competitive on the challenge as she is in her work life. There’s a place on the tracking app where you can record your score and then write down your reflection of the day. She wrote yesterday, “I can’t believe I’m in first place!” And it made me laugh because I also watched her binge on cookies, cakes and salty snacks at a retirement party here in the office last week. A little healthy competition is good, but this is like Trumpy competition. It’s kind of like she is fake winning or alternative fact-ing in her scoring.

And yes, the challenge is supposed to be about lifestyle changes, including sleep, stretching, adding meditation, focusing your life, etc. and I’m working on all of that. But I’ve also discovered that I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle – or better than most – even with my infrequent binges. I’m not so bad after all! Most of the time I’m getting enough sleep; I know how to eat right; I know I have to exercise to stay in shape…

Not a peep from The Oversleeper. I’m guessing he went right back to sleep after our coffee date. Not sure what happened there – he did tell me that he wanted to see me again and have dinner some evening, but then he also bolted really quickly. I never, ever hold my breath anymore.

In more work updates, UGGGHHHH on the stuff going on here in the office. It makes me REALLY want to consider the fact that I’m being wooed by another company right now. I gotta figure out how to make this work in my favor with regards to the timing of the sale of the company PLUS this potential new gig. Oh, I didn’t tell you, did I? The dinner on Friday with my friend who’s interested in bringing me on board at his company went VERY well. I’m intrigued with what he’s got going and he needs someone (like me) to help him create a line of products. I think this idea miiiigggghhhhttt just be something. Friend wants me to fly out to CA to the company owner’s ranch early next month to have dinner with the guy and discuss the possibilities. Can I get some good juju?

Speaking of juju, I made a vision board for 2017 and hung it on my bedroom wall so that I see it every morning when I wake and look at it every night before bed. I tried to set it up in sections based on feng shui properties (though the images and words didn’t allow to align perfectly – such is life). Anyway – it’s got stuff about finding love, creating a life of my dreams, city life, being inspired by places rather than things, an image of a woman dressed in gold shimmer with movement all around her, and the word “SPARKLE” draped across the whole board. If that ain’t some vision, I don’t know what is. Ha.

Eight. Eight. I’m going to have to stop at eight bullet points because I gotta get a bunch of stuff done – NOW! Onward…
xox,
