Day 348: This Charming Man

Update: none... until next friday... or maybe even the end of the month

Alright, this post is long overdue. My week of temptation and bad decisions is finally over and tomorrow I will finally eat within my calories again - I want to do it (finally). I didn't make it to the gym this weekend but that is partly because my left knee is paining me and I have a crapload of studying to do for this week. Methinks the knee thing came about after I pushed myself on the treadmill last week. I am quite upset with it because this particular knee has never hurt me before, and it's never lasted this long. I think it may eventually result in a trip to a doctor. Shit. So for now I will stick with walking and ellipticalling (and praying mr. knee will heal itself).

As for the date... it went well. He has a really cute face, tall and is nice... don't feel that 'spark' but I am not sure if that is because it's too soon, or if we just aren't meant to be. He kissed me during the date and walked me to my door (presumably just to kiss me again) and I was very disappointed... he is NOT a good kisser... (haha... with all my extensive experience). I am the type to never talk to a guy again if I didn't feel anything during the date... I am thinking this is the year to leave that particular habit behind. What will it hurt to go on a second date? It will be my first second date ever and I have to keep telling myself that it doesn't mean I have to marry the guy. He called me on Friday for a date on Saturday but I said I was busy studying (which is mostly true), so we'll see if we do something later this week - and NOT on Valentine's day (I think that would be way too much pressure for a second date).

Question: Did you guys feel on the first date that spark for your significant other?

I'm feeling guilty with my eating for today, so maybe I will make the effort to do a half hour (+) on the treadmill tonight... we'll see. After this week I am going to make an effort to find some free weights, a skipping rope (did some of that on Thursday and it was better cardio than the elliptical!), and maybe a pilates dvd just to have on hand when the guilt feeling comes around.

Alright, I am out for the night. Have a good Monday morning!

Don't let guilt push you to an injury, it will be worse in the long term. Be sensible and stay off the knee, stick to low or no-impact training. Cycling is a good workout and easy on the knees.

As for first date sparks, it wouldn't hurt to go on a second date but you usually know if you like him or not by the first.

Progress Bar!
