Day 91
Back to work Monday. BLAH! It really wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that I'm still sick and I haven't worked out in over a week because I can hardly breathe! And did I mention the pollen??? OH DEAR!
So I read an article today at work that said scientists believe the reason we are having so much pollen is that right around the time the trees would have started producing pollen this year we had another cold snap that included snow and so the trees all held onto their pollen. Well apparently now they're all releasing their pollen at the same time! Thus the reason your car, the entire outside of your home, all your plants, and the parking lot at work are all YELLOW. I was beginning to accept that my still being congested would go away eventually and the fact that I'm still coughing and blowing my nose was a byproduct of that illness...but now I'm beginning to wheeze! I sound like an old dog that's out of breath from running too hard. Seriously, that's just when I breathe regular, after I've been coughing it sounds much worse. SOOOO READY FOR YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE!!! Stupid head cold. On the plus side though...my ears are starting to pop when I blow my nose, so that's a relief because I hate it when all this crap backs up into your ears and you can barely hear anything anyone says to you. I've felt like one of those old guys in the cartoons that holds the ear horn up to his ear and says "eh?" every time someone says something to me. It's sad.
Anyway, tomorrow is my last day on the Special K Diet. And I'm disappointed. I waited until today to finally weigh myself, in nearly two weeks of eating FAR less than usual, I lost only 3 lbs! They tell you that if you do this diet you'll lose at least 6 in two weeks! I'm defective!!! I can't even lose a normal amount of weight on a diet other people have lost MORE weight on. Needless to say I'm frustrated out the freaking wazoo. I'm not going to be able to reach my body goals by the summer...which is what we all want really. But I'm going to stick with eating less food and as soon as I can breathe again I'm going to go all out with the workouts. Right now I'm going to start working out again, post full-on sickness, but at a lower intensity so I don't pass out from lack of breathing.
So while Nathan and I were talking tonight I asked him if he minded if Stephanie and I met up with him for lunch Friday afternoon since we will be at Cape Fear Community College (where he goes to school) meeting with someone in admissions. He said he didn't mind meeting us for lunch but that I would have to behave myself when I met Mary-Beth. Oh yes, did I mention that my boyfriend has lunch every day with a married woman that hit on him while she was drunk at a get together he went to for one of his professors??? Nate's not the cheating kind so I'm not the least bit worried about him...it's the woman that makes me mad. Lady! You're flipping married and you KNOW this guy has a girlfriend because he flat out told you he did and you still follow him around for lunch?!? REALLY! He used to eat at this one place and they'd had a class together and apparently she was eating lunch at this same place too, so they just started eating lunch together. Well, when he started eating lunch at a different place he mentioned he'd been changing where he eats, well so did she. She started going to lunch across the street from where he goes and they are still able to have lunch together. Wow. And he doesn't see why I have a problem with this. I totally understand that he doesn't want to eat lunch alone, but why in the hell does he have to eat lunch with a woman that hit on him?!? AND so he tells me I can't act all jealous and catty when I meet her Friday. Oh but you better believe I'm gonna go lookin hot as hell and find the most subtle ways to rub it in her face that he's mine. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I'm a jealous girlfriend. And what's better is my boyfriend can't stand it. I can't help it though, you get cheated on by nearly every boyfriend you've ever had, you're going to develop a jealous streak even when you're not worried about this one cheating. :-) That's just who I am.

Even if you hadn't been cheated on, it's normal to be jealous.
No worries - you will look HOT, but you almost always do! YAY!!
