Well, I am safe and sound in New Hampshire. The drive was pretty straightforward - it was a beautiful day yesterday, sunny and unseasonably warm. (Though maybe not. It is March after all.) Too warm, in fact - there were several stretches of slow traffic on I-95 during which I felt like I might faint from the stuffy warmth in my car. I hesitate to turn the air on anymore because I think the dust from my ventilation system directly contributes to my eye irritation. And we all know how sensitive my eyes are. Bleh.

Anyway, I got in around 5:00pm and had the pleasure of accompanying Brian and his mother to bowling night. They bowl in a league that plays every Thursday and apparently Brian is one of the best bowlers in town. Naturally, as that kid is good at everything that requires physical activity - except dancing. Oh well. I can't ask for everything.

Today Brian's working so I woke up at around 8:30 and was out the door by 9:15 to get some studying done. I've spent both breakfast and lunch at Panera, which is where I am now. Given the choice I would have gone somewhere else for lunch but after thinking long and hard about the options around here that I know how to get to, and my Weight Watchers program, I ended up just going with a silly overpriced salad here. Sigh.

And yes I have done some studying... I did take a break to go to Target (oh come on! It's so close by and big and CLEAN) but refrained from buying anything in the anticipation that I would probably have to spend money on a silly overpriced salad.

Speaking of Weight Watchers, it is going swimmingly. I'm trying not to freak out about points as much as the last time around, mostly because I started at a lower weight, but also because I'm not sure what my end goal is. The first goal in the program if you don't already have a set target (whether self- or doctor-ordained) is 10% of your body weight. I achieved that and more last time, but also gained about 12 pounds back after I stopped. (Thanksgiving, holidays, and the month of January at work did me in) I think I would be happy with 10% of my weight this time around too and I'm already halfway there so I'm relaxing a little.

Also I can't afford a new wardrobe at this point so I need to not shrink to the point of needing a whole new set of pants.

This is kind of a boring post. But honestly, it's hard to follow 'worst daters 101,' don't you think?
