While it's difficult to go back & read what I wrote last night, I think this time, it did me some good. I woke up this morning with the feeling I need to do something about it, and that going out all the time isn't necessarily the best thing for me, even if seeing people/friends is a good thing. I'm done with drinking again for a while, although I haven't decided yet what I'll do about going out. I won't be going as often, or to as many shows, but I can't just sit home alone all the time eitehr, so I'll have to work that out. If I could get a few dates set up with some of the women I've been talking to, that might satisfy my social needs, because really (aside from seeing the few good people I know) a big reason I go out is to put myself in situations where I might meet a girl. I don't volunteer, I don't do anything "club"-like where I could meet them, I don't really want to join any of the fitness/social clubs around town (because, believe it or not, my mother belongs to most of them, and who wants to try to meet women when their ma could show up at any time?).
Anyway, 1st item on the agenda today is laundry, been putting it off for a while. Also going to clean the house, get it "company-ready". Have to cut the grass sometime today (which is going to be hell, as I haven't cut it in ages, and I own one of these, and when the grass gets tall, it's a P.I.A. to use.) If I manage to get all that done, I'm going to work on digging out the firepit area & see if I can get those blocks placed. I also bought a wall-mount for my tv, and might put that up in the living room, then put an ad out to sell my futon, as it's not exactly comfortable, and it's taking up space in the spare room. I don't even use my living room, and it's got all my nice, new furniture in it! (If I can get the spare room emptied out, I might turn it into a yoga/meditation room, because I sure could use a refuge at times.) I skipped out on strongman because I was so bummed last night, but I'm also going to try to get another workout in today, then I've got one more week until I start the next cycle of my routine. Once I hit that, drinking is out of the question for at least two months, so that'll will be helpful!
Speaking of the next routine, does anyone have any simple low-fat recipes they can offer up? I tend towards casserole-type/meat & pasta dishes, and I also need ways to dress up/season chicken/steak because I tend to buy very low-fat meats, and they always seem to end up dry. Maybe I should get my grill back in shape & start cooking out? I know people grill corn on the cob & asparagus, and baked potatoes, but I've no idea how they're prepped. Seasonings? Maybe Olive oil, or butter? I wish I knew how to cook more things - I like what I do make, but nobody can eat the same 4-5 meals for months on end!
Anyway, sorry for the woe-is-me stuff last night, but thanks for being the kind of people who allow me to feel comfortable enough to do it. If only I could find that IRL...
