Prior Fat Girl –

Happy Monday, friends!

This weekend was fairly low-key. Carlos played poker on Friday night so after I hit the gym, I came home and hung out with Iggy, and a dog we watched for about 1.5 weeks, Rico. I took the dogs for a walk and just cannot wait until all the snow melts because the dogs get so dirty walking around outside and then track it all through the house, even though I have them sit by the door for a few minutes when we come inside. I also can’t wait until it gets nice enough to go to the dog park because as much as I try to take Iggy on walks, he has so much energy and is always looking for trouble. Friday night, I caught him looking around on Carlos’ desk!

I’ve caught him on Carlos’ desk a few times in the past, drinking out of coffee cups Carlos has left on his desk so I think that is what he looks for. That, or money? BRING ME THE MONEY, IGGY!

Saturday, I hit the gym, finished reading a book (Reconstructing Amelia = a good read) and then, Carlos and I went to the MN Wild Game. Carlos had a beer, I had wine, and we shared some mini donuts.

Sunday after I hit the gym, I got the grocery shopping out of the way and then got started on laundry. Carlos had gone off to finish the poker tournement that he started Friday night so I found myself with a few quiet hours. I debated on starting a new book but then, out of no where, decided to PAINT.

My therapist would be so proud… after 4 months of being intimidated by blank, white canvas, I PAINTED.

Bleeding into each other.
This one is larger, maybe 16 x 20?

Emotionally confused.
Four 8 x 10 canvases

While I wasn’t overwhelmed, I realize how calm painting left me feeling. I was just so in the zone – I wasn’t thinking about anything else around me. There were no walls around me, there was no roof. There were no limits. It was both intimidating and freeing at the same time. We may have to buy a bigger house just so we have space to display everything! That, or everyone is going to get paintings for birthday’s & Christmas

I’m meeting a friend today at Rojo for lunch and am already thinking about what I should have. I don’t want to count calories but am trying to be conscious of what I should have. Any recommendations on being healthy, balanced? I slept through my alarm so will hit the gym after work and then make my way home to make dinner. We are having tilapia smeared with red roasted pepper pesto and sauteed cauliflower & broccoli in garlic on the side. YUM!

How was YOUR weekend?
