Taking Back Sunday
Aside from all the stress and confusion that is going on... perpetually (because really, you rid yourself of one worry and another takes its place)... there are a lot of positive notes to be touched upon.
Chris is really sticking to being healthier. He even makes his own lunch and worked out today in Jefferson County on his own. He's lost about 5 lbs. this week and that has motivated him to not give up. I've been cooking healthier (crazy, right?). Sometimes it's hard and sometimes I say well... this may not be the absolute healthiest thing but we can just eat it in moderation. I'm not trying to lose weight (so don't worry Kristen, I'm not going to go overboard like I did before freshman year of college). I've already lost five and Chris asked me to not go any further than that. I do cardio for health and weight training to become more tone. I've been at it since about March or April. I've been doing specific exercises to make my waist curvier and I can really see a heck of a difference! We're going to give ourselves a break day once a week (because really, there's no point in living if you can't eat pizza and coldstone icecream once in a while).
This week we chose to have a break day while Danny visited. It's always good to see old friends from Miami. It definitely made Chris very happy and he also did a few things that made my jaw drop... from being impressed. He really impressed me with the kind of friend he is. It reminded me of Kristen.
Also, I've exchanged some emails with someone was that very special to me in high school. We drifted apart... I think because of miscommunication and misunderstanding... but no misunderestimating ;). None of us ever once thought that we wanted to stop being friends with her. I'm really glad to have the opportunity to know that life is going good for her. It's really depressing to wonder whatever happened to so-and-so? She's getting married also! She's marrying someone who really seems to be a good match for her on every level. I'd like to email her some old pictures of herself from high school. Maybe she can use them for a collage board or something.
Today is alllll mine. I've already got the apartment scrubbed down for the week. I'm going to work on my own projects and enjoy this time. As much as I miss Chris, I know I'd never sit down and do these things if he were here.
