But Henry, we haven't any porridge for Goldilocks, only these old carrots.
Ok, so here is something we haven't talked about. I've been on a diet the last five or so weeks. The reason I didn't mention it earlier is because I don't particularly care to diet. It's annoying. The first three days of the diet I was pissed off and going through Dr. Pepper withdrawal. Also, I don't intend to turn this into a diet blog. But, you know... it's what's going on, so...
It's been going pretty well. I've lost 13.5 lbs so far. Half a pound more and I've officially lost a "stone" as Louise would say. Today I wore pants that have been too tight for a while. And people started to notice. I've been doing the Weight Watchers, counting up points. I've come up with lots of little tricks to get buy. I still get some Dr. Pepper every once in a while. [3 points in 12 oz.] I drink so much water, I probably slosh when I walk. And I pretty much live on lean cuisine pizzas. [8 points], because they are good... enough. Oh, and all those snacks that come in 100 calorie packs? Those rock. I've eaten more carrots in the past five weeks than I've eaten in the five years before them.
I'm doing this diet online, I'm not attending any of those meetings. The last thing I want is discuss something as annoying as dieting with a bunch of strange women. [mostly women at least]. I don't want to share my feelings... that would be gross. I don't want to give the whole process more attention than I have to.
But, that being said, right now, I'd kill for some Ben and Jerry's. Seriously. K-I-L-L.

Spring is the perfect time to eat a little healthier. It seems to be working really well, too!
Which would you kill for more: the Gobfather or Cherry Garcia? Definitely the Gobfather for me.

Your abstinence is admiral! A guy at work has just gone onto WW diet (Sunday) and is counting his points. He is allowed 25 each day. We all had to attend a business function on Wednesday night and he kept saying everything was worth 2 points. Glass of wine...2 points. Greek Salad...2 points. Profiteroles...2 points. Turns out he didn't understand how the calculator thing worked, net results is he now has an overdraft of points with WW that will take weeks to cover. Are you allowed to go bankrupt if you get a really negative points position?
Hope you have a nice weekend.

Wow! I am so proud of you, Jodi, I think I'm actually beaming right now. It's the mom in me, I guess. You want a gold star? Perhaps you could draw me a picture, that I could print and put on my fridge.
Yay Jodi!

I used to drive by a building called "Weight Watchers Plaza."
I always wondered if it had started out as a full-fledged mall and slimmed down to plaza level.
Congrats on the weight loss.

Someone once told me how to put 10 lbs into prospective. Go to the grocery store's veggie aisle and find a 10lb sack of potatoes. Now, carry that around the store for half an hour. Then take it back and "unload" the 10 lbs.
Congrats :)
