First, congrats to Tiffany on her engagement! I am thrilled to tears for her! She rocks!
Second, yes, I am still alive. Seems I am liking the living my life thing. I have been happily busy with stuff, from work to family and everything in between. Been playing a lot of tennis lately which has been fun. I actually joined a team (gasp) and our season starts in a couple of weeks so we've been practicing. It feels good to say I play a sport. Who would've thunk it!
Yesterday I bought a size medium unisex t-shirt. How freakin' crazy is that? It is a little snug, but that may just be me being self conscious about it. Incredible. I also bought some size XL unisex athletic pants. Boggles the mind. I'm having to retire my 2XL's which had been baggy, but comfortable, now they are a little too baggy. I'm consistently in 12/14's on top and 16's on the bottom. I can see those 16's slowly transitioning into 14's at some point.
Weight has been steady in the 230's although I think I may tone down the carbs and such and may try to trim down a bit. I've been getting a little frustrated playing tennis when I can't move as fast as I want to. It's funny how tennis is the only thing that makes me want to lose more weight even though I'm pretty content where I am. My motivation is to be a good tennis player and if it means dropping pounds, so be it. I don't have a set weight in mind, I just want to feel agile and lighter on my feet. Not surprisingly, I feel better when I eat better.
My ex-business partner has gone into full on crazy mode. She'd been emailing me regularly since I left and I finally had enough so I basically had to, quite bluntly, shut her down. She did not like it and sent me a crazy email, but I am ignoring her. I can't out manipulate her so my best bet is to ignore at all costs. I next expect her to start trying to get to me through other people, it's just a matter of time. I almost pity her, she's a sad, sad woman. Oh, and get this! She had the nerve to tell me that to truly have nothing to do with her (which I stated emphatically, numerous times) that I should return to her all my shares in the company! Uh....no.
Anyway, besides her, life is pretty awesome. The DS has been a blessing and I just continue to try to find my way through the world.
Tia, are you on Facebook, by any chance? I've taken down my blog but I'd love to stay in touch with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm still reading *your* blog, of course, and you've got my email address (alm1961@gmail.com). Uf you're on Facebook, I'll email you my name and you can look for me.
I just don't want to lose touch with DSers as we all move forward in our lives and experience the DS at X, Y, or Z years out, you know?

Tell BP she can buy you out and set a high price. Maybe she will do it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kimmer! :) I am sorry that you are having to deal with that.
ReplyDeleteA size medium...that is AWESOME!!! I am so proud of you for finding a sport and sticking with it. I know you will reach the level that you want to with the sport.
Thanks for the congrats on the engagement. Part of it is still sinking in with me.

Hey Tia,
ReplyDeleteAfter going into self imposed exile for 9 months I just wanted to pop by and say ...wow... you continue to be an inspiration.
I am back to basics and loving... nah... liking it...lol. Like you, finding my way in the world.
Take care
