Half full

People are starting to notice the changes in me. It feels good to hear the compliments and such, but at the same time kind of weird. I know it is because I see myself everyday, but it doesn't really look any different to me. I know the numbers on my clothes are different now but the image in the mirror...not so much. I should have kept an extremely unflattering before photo of myself (which you wouldn't dare catch me in front of a camera candidly - strategically placed perhaps - but no way was someone going to snap that shutter while I wasn't looking, then.) at least I could compare and understand. I have read about people who have issues with losing weight, and then looking so different they have a hard time accepting the new "you" so to speak. I, myself, am kind of torn. And truly, I am not so sure I want to see the way I was. I would say I am only at 65% of my goal. But, apparently, it makes some difference.

Anyway...

The "Man" is coming for dinner tonight. Yeah...I (nay We) are to the point of cooking for each other. He made me dinner this last weekend, so I said it was my turn. And, since I am gone for a 3 day weekend with my daughter, I invited him over tonight. I am hoping my enchiladas don't come out too spicy. I have a habit of letting them runneth over with diced jalapeno, but I am going to do my best. :P

My posts are pretty..um..humm drum lately. I am thinking that maybe I have worked out the angst I had been feeling for so long. I no longer feel that emotion welling inside when I see certain people around town. And it tickles me to know that I have truly moved on. It, of course, helps to have your attention and focus withdrawn from yourself for a bit too. I am thinking the beach this weekend is going to draw a bit of thought out of me. There is no place I feel more relaxed and open than I do at the coast. I am hoping to come up with motivation to start what I have been wanting to for some time. Perhaps a business plan or at least an outline of how I need to be in the position to even begin a business plan or be in the position to get the equipment I need/want. I think I could do it with a minimalist attitude, yet provide good quality. Doesn't everyone want the best...for less?
