My Not So Manic Monday!
rn
Good morning lady bugs (and gentlemen bugs!)
rn
Its a very cold and snowy Monday here in Central Ohio…
rn
I dont have anything highly intellectual to blog about today, but thought I would at least come out and say hi to everyone! 
rn
I had a nice weekend for sure…In an ongoing effort to get my life back on track, I took my husband on a date on Saturday! 
I even drove and paid the tab! (Now, I ask you, is that not truly wonderful of me????) HAH! 
rn
We went to dinner and a movie and we had truly a delightful time…
rn
See, unlike a lot of married folks I know, my husband and I are actually together all the time…At least it feels that way! 
rn
We dont have kids, so there really isnt a lot of distractions for us…However, we recently discovered that although we were together all the time, there were many nights when we probably said less then 10 words to each other…
This, my friends, is not real cool…
rn
So we are trying to reconnect to one another…Its too easy after 13 years together to just let things go…It really is…Marriage is a tricky tricky thing indeed!
rn
So this weekend we actually paid attention to each other, and well, it was rather nice I will say!!!
Apparently, we still like each other! And thats a good thing!
rn
I did okay diet and food wise…For the first time in a long time, I didnt write in my food journal this weekend…
I am not entirely proud of that, but its just difficult when eating out and we did some beer tasting…
rn
So for me to point accurately is kind of difficult…I did estimate in my head and I feel I was under calories both days, actually, and I worked out hard both days as well, so all and all, I am really not sweating it…
rn
I am moving into the 170’s this week even if it KILLS me to do it! (Well, now, we cant have my death riding on it…I mean, what would you guys do without me???? )
rn
So thats about it for me today…Going to the gym every night this week for at least an hour…So that Friday’s weigh in will be stellar…Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
rn
Take care all and I hope you all have a ROCKIN good week!
rn
Love-Dawnie
Now whoever described your blogs as being highly intellectual? Oh, I think I did do that a time or two. Or was it someone else? I don’t know, I’ve slept since then!
Now you just remember something, young lady (I can get away with calling you that since I’m actually old enough to be your mother!)…you plan on moving into the 170’s if it kills you. And you plan on going to the gym every night this week for at least an hour. If you build up muscle this week, remember, it’s heavier than fat so you may not show a loss!!
Glad you and your hunny got to have a special weekend and ‘reconnect’!!!
It definitely takes effort to make “date nights” once you get settled into a routine - I’m glad to hear that you & hubby are making time for it and that you had a fun weekend! The 170’s are beckoning you….. you will SO make it this week!
*Crossing my fingers for you*…I know you will do good! Glad to hear about you and your hubby reconnecting. I’ve been doing the same with mine, and it’s pretty darn nice.
Wow!!! 170’s!! Hooray for you!!!
My husband and I have been married for 5 years but together for 13 years too. Off and on anyway. Good for you and your hubby for seeing that you both deserve more attention from eachother!! Now that we have had opur troubles I see how much our relationship had been neglected.
The person we love the most for some reason takes the back burner I guess.

I Would not be able to survive with you!!! Its good to pay attention to those around us, sometimes we can become too dependent on the virtual friends we have and miss what is happening around us. I have my fingers, toes, hair, legs everything i can cross crossed for you!
Aw, that was really great of both of you!!! I’m glad to hear you’re having fun with each other and getting those fires burning. I know you’ll get in the 170’s Dawnie!!! I know it for sure!!!
Hey Dawn sounds like you and your husband had a great date night!! And I don’t doubt for a minute that you are moving into the 170’s this week!! Keep on working out!!! You are doing awesome!
