Hey, it’s me again!

Yeah, I’ve been totally distracted lately, which is really a good thing.  I mean at least I’m actually hanging out with my boyfriend now and doing stuff instead of just hanging out and home and playing on the computer all the time, right?  It’s funny though, even when I spent most of my time on the computer, it’s not like I up-dated that much anyway! 

Ok, so my boyfriend Jake, who I met on line a whole two and a half months ago is now living with me (or rather, he and I are staying with my mom until we find a place of our own. 🙂  My best friend who lives about 5 hours away was asking when she was going to meet him, and made me promise that the first time she met him wouldn’t be when she came into town to be my maid of honor!  ~L~  I told her not to worry, Jake and I have talked about marriage, and we both agree that we want to wait awhile.  I mean we haven’t even been around each other for more than a week at a time yet, even though we’ve talked on the phone all but one night since we first met.  I’m a little nervous about actually living with a guy, but in an excited kind of way. 

On the diet front, he’s very supportive of my weight loss efforts, (without being the food police!) And he’s great to walk with!  A while back, I pulled some muscle in my arm while weight lifting, which I didn’t notice at the time, but a couple days after I couldn’t move my arm too much.  It’s a lot better now though.  On the down side, I haven’t been to kickboxing in about a month!  🙁  I’ve been walking at least, so that’s better than nothing.  I say that like walking is nothing… and I don’t mean it like that, cause I know it’s a good workout, I guess I just hate missing that much kickboxing.  And I really hate that I’d been doing pretty well doing my weight lifting, and now I’m gonna have to take it really easy.  Which is fine, I mean I’d rather do wimpy sets than not be able to do it at all.  

Last Saturday, Jake and I ended up going for a three hour walk!  It would have been more if he hadn’t had his cell phone, cause I called my mom to come get us!!  See, we started out on the trail by the river that mom and I usually walk on, which is an entire loop, but mom and I just do one little part of it and turn around.   I’d never been over the bridge to the other side, so he and I walked over there, then we just kept going, and I was thinking it would be quicker to go all the way around… well, it wasn’t!  (Actually, I don’t know for sure.  The entire loop is between 10.5 and 12 miles long, I’m not sure exactly!)  So yeah, lots of walking!  Oh, we also had goen for a walk that morning too, up a few hills even!
