I hear that! Minus the humidity thank goodness! It was like 95 yesterday, but only 25% humidity. Guess it's summer! I don't mind the heat here. I figure at least it's not 120 and I'm not wearing body armor!

You wouldn't like my part of the country right now. we should be right on the edge or over 100 for the next week or so. We had a couple of cooler days in the high 90's last week but no such luck anytime soon. I am no fan of this heat. Even the breeze is hot.
I must repeat, If it weren't for my birthday, I would just rather forget all about summer as a season. Yikes!!

Lots of stuff going on in the land of mishka. Just the normal busyness along with some anxiety.
I've been concentrating very hard on my diet and exercise plan. It's only been a week of it so far but it's paying off. 3 pounds down so far and that is enough to motivate me to keep going. Summer is much easier for me to eat healthy since it's so blasted hot. All I want is fruit and salad. I actually have to force the protein sometimes because I just don't want it. I've found some good ways to incorporate some cold protein though...LOL. I made a fabulous Penne Rosa with shrimp for dinner last night. I replaced the usual heavy cream in the sauce with nonfat plain greek yogurt and it worked perfectly. I've been replacing cream and mayo with that in almost everything for a while now and it is so awesome. Who knew? I know...everyone knew that except me.....
The anxiety is coming from Gabe's upcoming trip to CA to visit his mom coupled with my going away just 2 weeks later for 10 days. It makes me very nervous to have him on his own for that much time. I nearly broke down last night and said something about it but decided against it. I've seen his reaction to my fears and it's not pretty. He gets riled up and angry and usually stomps out. I'm not laying that on him. If he decides to have another A while he's gone or look for something he's missing here then that's his problem. I'll just have to deal with it when it comes. I guess what I don't know won't hurt me. I hope he wouldn't do that but it's his pattern.
Sigh

Good work with the lifestyle change, Mish (I don't call it a diet cuz diets don't work!). I hope you're doing your Zumba again, you really loved that. It's amazing what some exercise and conscious food choices can accomplish I've lost 8 lbs in the past couple of months by changing my eating habits and walking more frequently. Stick with it...but don't weigh yourself incessently, once a week is good enough.
Great job on the diet. That is brilliant, I am trying to do the same. Basically I got really depressed about being at home and just sat and ate for the past month. Today was the first day I forced myself to walk up to the swimming pool, even though it is 45 mins each way and went for a swim. Now I feel inspired. If you need an buddy I'm up for that, if I tell someone I am going to do it then I feel bad if I don't. So, this week I am going to go swimming 3 times for at least 45 mins each time. Now I will have to come and confess if I don't do it
About Gabe, you know you can't control his decisions and I know it is hard to trust him after all that has happened. Looking at your signature you have been back together 2 years! Wow! That is longer than a lot of relationships. Try and trust that he has been faithful for the past two years and is showing no signs of even wanting an affair. Plus, you could use the opportunity to spice things up and get him really excited about seeing you. You could send some hot texts and stuff. Joe and I usually build up the anticipation before we see each other so that when we do it is extra good and exciting and it also keeps the focus on each other when we don't see each other which is most of the time.
The girl at work who is our bookeeper came to me today, sat right next to me and whispered that she is telling me something in stricted confidence. UGH....her husband (who used to work here and is also a friend) is leaving her and their 3 kids (ages 10,8,6). She is understandably devastated and knew I would understand.
This completely stunned me. Her husband is such a family man and was totally devoted to his kids and wife but now....he's pulling all the typical WAH stuff on her. He told her she could have full custody of the kids, keep the house and he'll make the payment on it, but other than that...he's done.
I gave her some DB principles, told her about the books and emailed her the info along with Sandi's steps. I told her to call me anytime she needs to talk but other than that...I'm lost.
I was a terrible DB'er, I didn't have the strength to put it all into practice. I hope to God that she is able to use some of the info but hearing all of this brought up so many terrible memories.

You give wonderful advice Mish. It is hard when you are in it to see clearly. You have always given others support as well. I also believe the best help you can give yourself is to help others.
I am so sorry about your friend. kat
