! Today... day 1 i decided to rest, no exercise, weights or biking and give my back and muscles a break!!!!  Tomorrow i hope to do some biking, and of course this weekend Saturday will be seeing Rick, i need to get some quality time going in this relationship!

I feel Rick and i need more quality time together, sometimes we are not opening up enough to each other, i think it takes more then 3 or 4 hours to gether for me to do that, open up my feelings and depth of my soul......We need to talk more and that takes more then just a couple hours that we have been together lately, running errands, shopping but not enough heart felt conversations for me!!  Need substance!! A good old fashioned sit down and really talk.....................!!!!!  So this is what i told him we need quality time not just time, not just golfing or errands but real talking, i need this, we don't know each other that well yet and in since we met July 2008 we have only seen each other maybe 10-15 times, clearly this is a slowwwwwww developing relationship....we'll see what happens Saturday!

Just when you think you are doing all the right things, something new comes along to point out the errors in your ways....in my determination to lose weight, or to shake up the pavurbial stuck scale i forgot one of the most important things in my yo-yoing of cals. to eat enough protein so i am not losing MUSCLE MASS, oops....!!  I know that is exactly what i have been doing, my biking has been affected, what i thought was being tired was being 'weaker' , can't climb the hills without feeling it, even dialing lower #'s on my stationary lately until i have been riding it for several minutes, also i am not driving the golf balls as far...muscle mass deterioration...so hopefully as a am an avid 'analysis watcher' with a little advice from my CC buddies they can guide me to a good 'protein supplement' that can rebuild, retain muscle strength and mass, and hopefully a shake that tastes great to boot!!  Something Kyle and I both can drink in a good chocolate and/or strawberry flavour??, let's hope someone reads this and can offer advice in any case?

Beautiful weather today, got to do some gardening after out frost threat is over, another week or so i expect.....will be seeing more of Rick soon too, this is his last weekend with the boys club...yeah!

My house smells like lilacs picked some yesterday, the lilacs are in bloom now, just love that aroma all through the house!!!!!!!!!!!!..ummmmm

Well it has been along time since i posted as i find it has been to time consuming and it was getting me down, i love talking with the girls on our over the 50 gang thread and that sustains me....quite nicely..great bunch of girls..friends!

Been doing a lot of biking now that the good weather is here!, and all the high deficit counting i should indeed get to losing this last 20lbs.  Yippee

Been going out with Rick more often now the the nice weather is here, and we really seem to be get along well, our only trouble before was not knowing each other well enough and jumping to conclusions talking on the IM (instant messaging) and not in person but now we are getting along nicely, so this is great, i won't be alone all summer this year!...lol...of course i was seeing Rick last year but it was later in the season, when we met.  It will be a year in July but we have not seen each other to often, between the weatherm his shift and the 42 miles between us has made it harder but now that summer is coming i am sure that will change and he has planned his holidays to be with me...yeah!He always calls me to check with me on things i like that, i am finally starting to feel like i am part of his life.....

So hopefully get some golfing in this weekend up here it is the Victoria Day long weekend...in the States you celebrate memorial Day long weekend right? next weekend though the May 22nd weekend for you yankees...lol

Well Kyle is doing better....no problems for my 17 year old son lately...good and his medication "concerta" 54mg SR is now finaly covered by my drug plan..phew...he's been behaving so that is great for me.!..no stress...as long as he doesn't get into trouble around here everything will be fine!  That's all for now....off to eat some strawberries and dream whip...after 1700 cals burned just riding my bike 18.3 miles today i guess i am entitled to eat some..hehehe

I sure love this site......and all my great friends!!

I really care about Rick but his lack of attentiveness is starting to really hurt me!  He was home the other day just puttering around the yard he could of picked me up and we could have gone back and spent the day together but.....I don't think i am being unfair all i want is quality time with him, he says he enjoys my company and wants to do things with me fishing, golfing biking, and events from and then on the other hand these constant lapses i don't hear from or see him, he is only 42 miles away....i know he is honest and says he isn't seeing anyone else, i believe that, i do, i do trust him and when we first met wasn't really over his wife, i knew this, he didn't though, and when he didn't want to get together over xmas, he was having a rough time of it, but that's when i wanted to be there for him, but he was having none of it!  so i gave him his space but now i would think since moving on is his intentions in his life  i just wonder if i still fit into his plans so i wrote him an email expressing my concerns, even a flower dies if it doesn't receive watering, i need to feel that he cares for and desires me i wouldn't want to be wasting my time while he gets his act together he is so afraid of being hurt again this is what he keeps saying. 

 He is now talking about redoing his deck in the backyard, that's great but i know this means having his brother and friends over, and not me, I suggested just me hanging out there in the yard while he does it and play with his dog Baron, or listen to music, i can find things to do or just relax and watch the boys build or i could build that firepit he said i could install in the yard.  I am starting to feel neglected, i mean a new relationship needs growth, putting one foot in front of the other and as i said to Rick after knowing him for almost a year but we haven't seen each other much in a year, more IMesseging and the weekly phone call, even a flower wil die if it isn't watered, i don't want to be hurt either, anyway i wrote him a letter well see how that goes.  When we first met we had alot of misunderstandings online, and the emails i received did break me into major tears (one of them), so we have managed to get past all that, the misunderstandings, things taken out of context etc.. and moved on, clearly we both really do care, about each other or it wouldn't have survived this long, i know sometimes i am way to sensitive (i used to believe this was a good thing)?? but maybe i am better off alone then to take the chance of having my heart broken again!!

 How Rick makes me feel though is worth hanging onto, when he looks at me my heart races, when he touches me goosebumps go right up my back and i can actually feel my adrenelin rising, this is worth the effort i feel!  We enjoy each others company, are competitive, we laugh together, talk all the things you want in a relationship, but i just get so frustrated when he doesn't include me.... in any of his plans!  When he was doing his gargage didn't want me there, when he goes hunting (that is understandable) time with his male bonding friends, but everytime he does work around his house, right down to just raking the leaves he never wants me there....well i wrote am email like i said i guess i will know soon whether i was just filling in time or not?  I should stay single, then i won't suffer that kind of heart ripped out, enormously upsetting, tear jerking feeling again!

Edit: Rick just called and he says he does care, he does take things for granted and that he was sorry for making me feel neglected, there is light at the end of the tunnel, my letter helped open his eyes!

Do i hear music....or the pitter pater of little bunny feet??

I am soft spoken, so giving Kyle heck the other day for his speech, and class skipping got me laughing so hard to myself i almost forgot why i was mad.  He looks at me a certain way and it it so hard to be mad at him, honestly.  You see i don't yell at Kyle often, i speak mostly from the heart, so not that it is difficult to scold him, it's just i have practiced being the silent but deadly attitude works better!

I can see i am going to have to block Brian Kyles dad from emailing me, he is sending me abusive emails now...grrrr if there was anyone i ever wishing was NOT born he would be my choice, sorry if that sounds mean i don't mean to be, but i wish a bus would run over his fat head!  , after all these years he still pushes my buttons..grri have informed him if he sends me anymore emails i will block him from doing so!  This is the man i will trust my son to in the summer, thankgod his Aunt and Uncle wil be there! and his grandparents or i might change my mind.  This guy is such a loser, can't get or hold a job, hasn' t changed in 9 years that we have been separated, i have to plan a divorce, and as soon as i can afford it, i want to desolve any connection to this monster!  What i ever saw in him i will never know, i suppose subconciously i wanted a baby, and baby comes first.. Kyle always has!  He has alot of Brians mouthy traits but i am working on that, the heart though and great looks..thankgod he gets from this side of the family!  We are a generous, kind, loving and caring crowd ususally! lol

Well i am not going to let Brian get to me or give me any reason to binge.

Today is warming up and i think i may go out for a mp3 walk, do a little wogging...not warm enough yet for biking, it would be a cool wind on my face? Not to mention there is a faint trace of snow still lingering in the shady areas.

Sticking firm on no chocolate, i am one of these people who cannot stop at 1 or 2...well i was but lately have been weak, so until i can control that no chocolate in the house, except for Kyles easter stash which i would never touch!....will work on that.  Strange isn't it i am such a strong woman in so many respects, i cannot let this battle of the buldge defeat me!  Mind over matter!
