Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

Happy belated Valentine's Day!! I hope that everybody had the most awesome day EVER. I know I did. Matt came home from work and class with a dozen red roses, and a sweet card (ironically, the card that I myself ALMOST bought him!!). We went out for a nice Italian dinner, and had a nice romantic night ;)

Unfortunately, between the Italian sampler, the large class of sangria, and some Riesling I had last night, I think I put a pound on just yesterday :( That's my frustration lately. I have been eating smaller, more frequent meals, and eating small snacks too throughout the day. When it is warm enough, I've been taking my dog on walks for about an hour or so. I did lose the couple of pounds I had put back on, and now I gained another pound! It seems to do that for some reason....I lose a few pounds, gain one or two back, lose one, and then gain another! I am going to go with the assumption that my unhealthy eating last night, along with the alcohol helped me put a pound back on, and hopefully I'll be able to take it back off. I am not necessarily at an "unhealthy" weight at 130, but I'd like to lose between 5-10 pounds. I would love it if I could be 120 lbs again. Although I do have to say, I have been feeling more energized lately since I've been getting more exercise, and trying to create healthier eating habits.

On a HAPPY note....I finally found a place to live!! After spending two Fridays driving to Winston-Salem, going all around looking at houses, apartments and condos, and then driving BACK to Wilmington....we found a place!!! It's just an apartment, however, it's 2br/2ba has a HUGE walk-in master closet, and is a little over 1000 sq ft. The rent is cheap (they're doing a special for $575), so that would help us to save money for other things (such as a honeymoon or renting/buying a nice house), and there are 10 miles of hiking trails behind the apartments, which will be super great for Coleman. We got everything approved yesterday, so now I just need to mail in the deposit and the pet deposit, and I will be signing the lease and moving in on Saturday! I'm so excited, I can't wait! It will feel SO good to FINALLY have my own place again!!!
