Today (so far) has been a much calmer day. I feel somewhat caught up at work, which probably means I’m just forgetting something!
During my lunch yesterday, I had to run some errands, and I stopped at a department store to take a break and just stroll around. When I stopped at the end of an aisle, a male employee smiled at me and said, “What are you looking for, gorgeous?”
I almost turned around to see who he was talking to. It took me a second to realize he was talking to me. Maybe he was just being friendly, maybe he was just sweet-talking me so I would buy something, but it still made my day.
I wouldn’t say I never get hit on, but I can definitely say it happened with far less frequency as I gained weight. This was the first time it has happened since I started losing weight again. Now, I would never even think of doing anything behind my husband’s back, but it’s still flattering to be noticed and complimented.
Friday night is, of course, football night, so I got up early this morning to work out before work. I had left my workout clothes and sneakers in the bathroom so I didn’t have to make a bunch of noise, fumbling around in dresser drawers or the closet, so my husband could go back to sleep.

My workout is done for the day, and I’m excited for my stepson’s football game tonight. Tomorrow is weigh-in, and I don’t really know what to expect. It’s been a busy week, and I haven’t worked out as intensely as I’d have liked, plus I had that day with extra calories, courtesy of potato chips. Guess we’ll see!
