So the weight loss is not really coming along as planned. The Thanksgiving holiday interrupted my workouts. I was told it takes 21 days to form a habit.. so, I'm STILL just trying to get into it again. I'm just so heavy. This is the heaviest I've been since I've moved to San Antonio and I just don't find it acceptable anymore. Sigh. 21 days. The Nike Challenge is 50 miles by the end of the year. I think I'm around 7 miles into it. Just need to keep up the 3 miles per workout thing. Hopefully I'll attain it.
On top of that, just trying to push along... keep the house in order and get things straightened up in my life. I am going back to the feelings I had when I first came here: I need more friends, specifically girlfriends. I mean, I have friends here... and don't get me wrong, I do love being around them and they are great people. But the bottom line is that they were friends with my husband before they were friends with me. So they are more *his* interests vs. mine. Not saying we don't have common ground, but, that theme holds true for just about all my friends - friends with husband before friends with me. Honestly, there are days I want just a night out with the ladies and I want to go dancing - to a club, not a shitkicker bar. I want someone to go shoe shopping with. Or someone to go take a Saturday cooking class with. Hell, even something crafty that Michael's has going. Or a group of friends that say, "Hey we're going on a Saturday run/walk/bike - come join." Maybe I need to be around people significantly younger than me because we don't have kids and neither do they. I don't know. I also feel like I am really missing my asian element. And the one Korean store we have here is a good 20 miles and 35 minute ride away. When I lived in Lubbock at least my mom would go with... and she had friends to go places with her.
I also feel gipped. I think it would have been fun to go to a Christmas party, but my company can't pull off anything without charging its employees money and hubs company wasn't any better. In fact, they didn't hold anything off-site and the one time we did go to his company event, we paid $50 for crappy ass food and a white elephant gift exchange. (We ended up with ugly ass paintings that we threw away.)
Ugh. Dunno. This probably doesn't make sense. Not sure why I feel like I am in a funk, just do. Maybe San Antonio isn't the place for me. Too bad we just bought a house and I'm committed to school.

Is it pathetic that I just now read this - like, a month after you wrote it almost???
Anyway, I am right there with you with needing girlfriends to go out dancing/baking/whatever with. I don't have ANY anymore here in Tally - and, well, sorry, but sometimes I do get tired/bored with hanging out with the hubs 24/7. And, I could go by myself, but, really, who wants to watch the lonely drunk girl alone in the corner? hahahhaa...j/k
Anyway, I think you need to come visit, or, me vise versa, and we'd paint both our towns red! And then some!
Haha... oh well. I haven't blogged in ages, anyway.
I know, sometimes I miss the estrogen element. I mean, I do like hanging out with hubs and his friends, but I need a healthy "night out with the ladies."
So I was thinking of trying to make it for your 30th bday. All the plane tickets I've seen are around $320. Not sure if they'll get any cheaper, so maybe I should hop on it. And maybe it will keep my motivation high for weight loss. Not sure what I'll be doing in school, so hopefully it won't fall near any big dates (like a final or project or anything... but even if it did, I bet I could work something out.)
