page2

Well, guess who made it back here and I finally even figured out how to make a second page!! You have no idea how thrilling that is for me, lol.
Today was kind of hard because I had two parties to go to. One for my nephew who is turning 3 tomorrow and another for my husbands nephews who graduated both college and high school, whew! There was cake and ice cream all over the place!! It was hard not to pig out. I didn't do great but I didn't fall completely off the wagon either. The party for the 3 year old was a cookout also, hot dogs and burgers. I didn't eat any of that, but I did have two cupcakes. Then I came home and had a sensible supper and headed out to the next party. At the graduation party I only had a teeny tiny piece of cake and a glass of punch. If truth be told I proabably have a lot more calories I could use but I'm too tired to eat now anyway. I'm going to make this super quick and then head to bed. I probably won't be able to keep up with this daily but I will do the best that I can :o) By the way, I am on a 1200 calorie diet and I don't go over 30 grams of fat. Lately, I've not been coming even close to getting that much fat in. I could really tell last night too, I was starving when I went to bed. I'll have to start getting more protein also. The baby kept me up last night and I've only had about 3 hours of sleep and it is getting quite late. I better sign off now.....more later.

Hello again. Well as you can see, I've done a lot of work on my site in the last couple of days. To tell you the truth, it's been a great distraction. I never thought I'd find being a computer nerd fun, but it is. Started my stupid period today so I am not in a good mood!! And I think I could just eat, eat, eat!! Husband and teenager are driving me absolutely ape s**t crazy! Sometimes I wish I could just get in my car and drive on, but I would have to take my baby. He is the only one that doesn't make me see red around here. Well, when I awoke this morning I felt skinnier so I took a chance and stepped on the scale. Didn't lose anything, but I hadn't gained either. 174 dead-on. Now I don't feel so bad, I probably had lost weight but the old water gain gets me everytime. I won't be able to get an accurate weight until my period is over...yes, my PMS lasts the entire time. I'm so lucky:o) However, this will be the first time since I was 11 years old (not counting pregnancies) that I will not be on my period for my birthday. Which is May 28th, next Monday. Yeah! But the flip side of that is...I'm old. I will be 34 by the way, don't know if I've mentioned that or not. Funny thing is, I started this journal as a place to post about the trials and tribulations of weight loss and it's turned out to be just a bunch of my ramblings. Maybe I'll get back on track when I feel less moody. I didn't work out again today. It was raining outside and was pretty much a useless day. Hubby had the day off so he watched the little one while I tinkered on this thing. I appreciated that, I'll have to remember to tell him. I'm trying out a new recipe tonight, it's in the oven now. If it turns out, I'll post the recipe. It's caramel bread pudding, or something like that. Comfort food, yum! Yes, yes I know, it's awfully late to be eating, tell that to my hormones, if you dare, lol.

Hi, not much time tonight, sorry. Have been pigging out all day!! I don't know if I've gone over my limit or not because I have not kept track. I know, Bad Dara!!~hold on, I'm going to figure it up real quick~ OK, no problem, I'm way under. 1048cals/11 fat grams. Geesh, and I was worried. This way of eating has become such a habit that I can't cheat even when I want to, lol. Well, you know what this means. Soft pretzel time!!!!!! Yay! I know, I know, I should not be eating this late, but again, I'm PMS-ing, don't mess with me!It has rained for days here and been really cold, I mean heavy coat cold. I am SO ready for summer. We have the A/C on one day and a fire in the fireplace the next. Insanity. For some reason the link back from viewing my guestbook doesn't work, so just use your browser's back button. ;o)~Later
