2 year anniversary
Yesterday was Pat and my's 2 year anniversary. He has complained before that I always ask for what I want and he never gets to surprise me. The only stuff I want is big stuff I know he doesn't want to spend money on so I just told him to surprise me. He got me a digital frame that I had mentioned quite awhile back that I wanted. I never picked out a specific one but it appears he got the one that has everything I want. He did really good. He also bought me some flowers and hot sauce LOL. Said he couldn't go wrong with me with flowers and hot sauce. It was nice.
We had dinner at Shogun. Lord, I love that place. I would eat there all the time if it wasn't so expensive. Their steak is the best you will ever put in your mouth and no one makes fried rice like they do. I had two drinks called Japanese Sex that had all my favorites in it...amaretto, melon liqueur, malibu rum, and sweet and sour. They were good. I ate the leftovers for breakfast :P
Totally blew my diet but I figured I deserved it. I have been on it for almost 4 weeks and when I weighed on Monday I have lost 11 lbs! I hope I haven't gained any back!
I still haven't lost my craving for Dr. Pepper but it could be that I haven't totally kicked the habit. When I first started I went almost cold turkey. I would allow myself a few sips a day and that was it. A lot of times it would be caffeine free because I was also wanting to be completely off caffeine. At one point I would go several days without any and then I would allow myself a few sips again, and then go a few more days and so on. Then with working, studying and day and night school, I was really tired one night and didn't know if I would make it through the 3 hour class. So I got a caffeinated Diet Dr. Pepper and drank part of it. I don't want to drink diet drinks either though because I think they are worse than the regular health wise. Then the other night I splurged and drank a whole can of it and thus my downward decline. I still keep craving it more and more. UGH.
But all in all I have been eating very healthy. My body is probably in shock. It's not used to real food :)
Woke up this morning to the heater not working. I have been freezing all day. It's still warm enough for the animals in the house so I didn't feel like having to get dressed and ready for a repairman so I am going to try to hold off until Monday. My house keeps heat in pretty well and it's 59 today and my thermostat says it's 68 in the house. As long as the animals are ok I can bear it myself. I have lots of clothes on. It's weird because 68 in the winter is cold. In the summer though 68 is hot because it's hard to cool my house off. I can keep heat in but it can't cool very good or stay cool without the air constantly running. Weird.
