OK..........
Well I feel good and I had a wonderful dinner last night with ..........the BF!
Um, let's start with the food. Amaranth is seeds with complete protein indigenous to Asia and the Americas, and was used in holy ceremonies for the Aztecs. I made amaranth and it looks sort of like insect eggs--tastes pretty good, and I folded in Granny Smith apples, raisins, chopped garlic, pine nuts, olives and red bell peppers. I grilled some talapia with olive oil and sea salt and all purpose organic seasoning, and then used the same grill to braise my snap peas and served that all to me and the BF with some Sonnet Tondre's Grapefield 2004 Pinot Noir.
People claim that red wine doesn't pair with fish--I say poo poo, that ain't right, Pinot Noir sure does, and I had Bordeaux blends go very well with salmon before.
After eating cheese and cake and stuff, I figure I had a very high calorie day, probably just under 3000 calories. Granted, I DID wake up and run for 25 minutes before work, and take Genie to the beach during lunch break, AND weight train heavily for an hour after work, 3rd time this week
Dinner was extremely nutritious and we only shared the one bottle of Pinot Noir. I haven't weighed myself yet because I'm about to go running, but yeah, this week has been a super duper exercise week. I still believe that weight training is the secret answer to fat loss, combined with cardio and keeping the cals down. But since everyone else seems to disagree in some form, I'll just keep on doing my thing and if I lose this bunny chub, WOOO HOOOO!!
THE RECONAISSANCE:
He showed up, but I didn't go out to greet him (like I did most of the time when we lived together, sometimes with a glass for wine for him). We said hi, then hugged and the first kiss........was electrifying. *sighs* We have incredible chemistry, it's amazing and like none I've ever felt before. Well, I was trying to make dinner at that point but we kept hugging and kissing and then he said, "I want to cuddle" and I said "ok," and we went to my room to cuddle. I was reluctant and nervous and emotional, though, and so he actually apologized for coming on so strong. He also said, "Sorry I was so rotten."
I said, "ok." I agreed, he HAD been rotten to me.
He said, "I just realized how much I appreciate you."
I said, "What do you want?"
He said, "I want you. I want us to be together and make it work."
I can't remember much after that but I was pretty quiet about everything. I just was really wary. After more petting he exclaimed that he wanted to make love to me so badly. Then he said, "But that's ok if you don't, to be honest, if I was a girl and my sort-of ex boyfriend came over for the first time in 2 weeks and nailed me in the first 15 minutes, I'd be pretty mad at myself."
See his humor? I do love it, I have to say.
"I'm not mad at myself," I said. And I wasn't. There were no rules or ultimatums I made with myself prior to our meeting. I didn't feel shitty or anything. I wanted to connect but I was just really wary. Anyway, not to get into it too much but we are amazing together, and our love is way too strong to just turn my back on. STILL, if it gets unhealthy I will cut it off.
He said another funny thing that gives you another idea of his humor. He said dreamily, "You are the most wonderful woman I've ever had the pleasure of calling mine......(then in a funny voice) trust me, my other girlfriends were REAL bitches." It made me laugh despite his gall. He DOES make me laugh.
Well dinner was fabulous and the wine was super super good. We had a good time together and went to bed early to snuggle and sleep. Right now he's in my bed sleeping and I'm about to go running. I was just waiting for the sunscreen to soak in. I need to get to these diaries I feel out of the loop!!
