-148, horoscopes and challenging myself...

Well, it is official!

My plateau has lifted and I am back to losing! I am down 148lbs now. Ok so that's only 2 lbs lower than I was at Easter, but I was sure happy to see the scale drop again! I don't mind staying at the same weight for a while but I don't like to see the scale # go up!!

My horoscope in Metro today was interesting.

"The love of your life comes to mind. Keep a stiff upper lip when friends disappear. All obstacles will be overcome."

Eerily relevant to my current circumstances.. although almost all horoscopes can seem relevant if you try hard enough.

The "friends disappear" part could apply to the lavalife guy. The "love of my life".. well he's out there somewhere and he is always on my mind. And naturally I will overcome my obstacles.. it's only a matter of time..

I'm really excited about a new possible challenge I can give myself.. in July, my choir director is having an intensive Opera workshop.. 8 week day evenings (6-10pm) from July 2nd - 11th with a final concert on the 11th. The interesting part is that I have to do an audition on June 30th. I am excited and nervous and pumped!

I'm starting to realize that if I am faced with any opportunity and it makes me nervous, uncomfortable, uneasy or otherwise awkward, I have to do it.. its just gotta be done!

I'm excited about life in general though. I have a good feeling about meeting someone.. someone with potential in the relationship category.. don't ask me why.. don't ask what I mean by a "feeling". I can't explain it.. but I am excited for some reason and my instincts are telling me that I can expect good things to come soon!

I guess part of the whole "power of positive thinking - manifesting your dreams" thing is that you not only have to think positive thoughts and say positive things, you have to believe them in your heart! I can't count the number of times I have put on a positive "mask" for the world to see but felt utter doom in my heart. I think that is why I am so excited right now.. my heart is full and open and no negative thoughts take up any space in there this time around.

I had a couple amazing nights recently. Two nights ago I met with a very nice woman that is going to Brazil for surgery next month. She wanted to ask me questions about my experience and I was more than happy to share. We talked for 2 1/2 hours and I really enjoyed it.

Then, last night I went out for sushi (of course at Kinjo) with Lauren and a couple old friends. Its so nice to catch up and be around people that make me laugh and smile and just appreciate being alive! I had a great time and although it was slightly cut short so I could run to choir, it was so appreciated!

I've been craving people lately. (company, not cannibalism!) I don't know why but it seems like I feel so much more focused when I am around others.. my mind wanders too much when I am alone.. I blame my love life for that :P

Ugh! I am exhausted! I need some caffeine.
