I haven't written in a while, I've been busy trying to find a place to live. The hunt goes on! I've always thought it would be nice to live in a Craftsman style home, so we looked at a couple in the older part of town. One home had been completely gutted, and tastefully remodeled. I won't say restored, because it is now a modern home inside. I liked some of the changes, like central heat and air, and the very nice kitchen, but I think the home lost much of its character. We looked at another home that has yet to be restored, if we bought it, it would definately be a fixer upper. The home was about 95 years old, and had ORIGINAL fixtures, original stove, tile, etc. It would take a lot of work, but it really was a beautiful home.
My eating hasn't been the best this week. I think I'm letting the stress of the move get to me. Then my mom called me yesterday and said that my Aunt is in the hospital, and she may have lung cancer. :( She and my mom both have really bad lung problems, even though they never smoked, because their parents both smoked. Second hand smoke kills! So we drove to see her in the hospital - about a two hour drive - and I got a chicken burrito from The Green Burrito on the way down. I had it with no Guac, and no cheese, but I know those refried beans are full of fat, and the white rice...white tortilla...not good eating at all!
I'm going to hit the gym on my way home from work today. I didn't get my run in yesterday with all of the commotion, so I'll do it today, and some strength training as well. Hopefully, the workout will help me destress...

The workout should definitely help you destress! Sorry to hear you've been having a stressful time. Stress is an enemy of weight loss so I hope you part with the stress real soon. Trust that everything will work out. Take care and good luck with the workout.

So did you make it to the gym yesterday? I'm sure that's so stressful looking for a house quick. When do you have to be out of your current place?

They auction off the house on Tuesday!!! And they are turning off the water on Tuesday too...I think we are going to move in with Ryan's Parents for a little while, until we find a place we like. That's better than getting stuck in a dump for a year lease, or paying too much because we don't have enough time to look!

Oh, and I didn't make it into the gym, but after church (the talk was on, of all things, how to deal with stress!)I went for a run, and slept like a baby last night. I'm not sure if it was from the bible discussion, or from the run, but it worked!

At least you have the option of living with them, that would be horrible being stuck in a place you can't stand. Well good going on the run. I've been walking my parents' dogs, but nothing terribly aerobic, need to do something.
