Yesterday was insane! Found out that my grandmother is having heart surgery this coming Friday and was a nervous wreck. After work my boyfriend and I went on a big bike ride and stopped for dinner at a pizza place, I did really well. I ate a small side salad and 2 small slices of thin crust pizza. After dinner we stopped by the mall in town, I needed a new bra. Bought it at the shop for plus sizes and that was the first time I’d been in a store like that for myself. It was a hard pill to swallow, but it fits great and so I just need to get over it.

We walked outside the mall, and what do you know. My boyfriend’s bike had been stolen. They had been locked together to a bike rack, and the idiot that did it should have taken mine (an antique schwinn worth about $700) but they took his $100 one from target. Anyway, it was the last bit of bad news I could keep in and so I cried like a baby outside the mall, on a Friday night in fron of one lonely bike.

Called the police, they never came. Called my parents, they were there in 20 minutes with the truck to take us home. They then called us from target and we met them there in our car and they bought my boyfriend a brand new schwinn!!  I’m so lucky to have not only a wonderful boyfriend that makes me so happy, but parents that see how great he is and are able to help him out. I know it is “just a bike” and I shouldn’t have gotten so upset but it was so just too much at once to handle. Bike riding is one way of exercising that we get to do together and we both really enjoy it, so it was super creepy to think of a stranger out there on his bike! Lots of stresses piling up on each other  so it was nice to kind of be rescued. Normally I think I would have turned to food or had a big beer but instead we just went home and talk about everything going on and it felt really good. (It felt really great once my parents called and asked us to meet them at target to pick out a new bike!)

She’s a beauty! Or he?! Well regardless of gender, we both love it.

OK back to reality… my breakfast this morning was 1 cup of coffee w/ 2% milk, 1 banana and 1 small mini wheat bagel with 1 tsp. peanut butter. 321 calories in all.

I’ll be back after lunch.
