The world continues turning...

I am currently feeling a giant sense of accomplishment right now. I finally made my running goal at the gym today - 30 minutes of running. Non-stop. So with my warmup/cool down walking, I did 40 mins and 3.4 miles. Pretty darn proud I am. Now I just have to keep it up for 12 more days as my run is on Mother's Day.

My goal for May is to be active - gym or outdoor run/rollerblade everyday. I've completely flatlined in my weight loss again and I need to do something about it. My sister is coming out for the May long weekend and we'll be going bathing suit shopping! EEEK. I've done well so far, but it's only May 3. Must. Keep. It. Up.

This past week was quite nice. Fancy stayed with me for about 5 days before she left for BC and it was really good. Saturday night, I went out for Jay's birthday to Devlin's. I then met up with Fancy and Holly for a night of wild drinking. We went to three bars - Thirsty Turtle, Funky Buddha and The One on Whyte. Lots of fun. We played pool at the Turtle and did a little dancing at the Buddha. We then moved onto The One where we did a lot of dancing. Nice music - both retro and more recent. Good place to ...errr.... met people. Lots of great pics from that night up on my main site.

Fancy left Monday morning and I seem to be coping well. Or it's still denial, not sure. It probably won't hit me until it's longer than the average vacation. Or the first time I get bored and I have no one to play with. Good thing May is looking super busy.

The dating thing continues. I've gone out with four guys now. I have another second date coming up this weekend. Looking forward to it.

I suck at the hockey pool. I picked a lot of players from Dallas and Detroit. I'm in dead last. Still have players from Ottawa and Carolina though so maybe it will pick up. My wishful thinking pool is doing much better. If Calgary can pull it out (currently losing 0-2), it will still have potential. A Calgary vs Edmonton series will be extremely interesting, but I can't even imagine how bad the Red Mile and Whyte would get. Fans from here going there and vice versa. Eep. Would be nice though - a real Battle of Alberta.

Heather is visiting this weekend so I feel a need to clean my apartment. I must maintain my neat freak reputation.
