Diet Update

Oh no! I have had a bad couple of days. Jeremiah returned from his trip and had a birthday, so I blame him for it. I will restart the diet tomorrow.

So Far So Good

Well, day 5 of my new diet, and I'm still doing everything I should. It has been really easy, actually. So...cool.

I'm really excited (and I've already had a cup of coffee, so I'm typing words with the letters all out of order) because Jer is coming home tomorrow! He has been visiting the east coast on business since Monday morning. I miss him sooooo much, but I have managed to only cry once all week. I'm proud of myself. I owe this small feat to the fact that I have been spending so much time with my extended family. I spend that day with jer's sister and our niece, when I get home I'm with my parents. I'm never alone, unless I want to be. Jer's mom called to see how I was holding up (that's when I cried), and to just talk. How sweet is that! I'm so lucky that my family is so wonderful.

The Prints The Thing

Well, I haven't been able to go to church since I wrote the post about my dress so I don't know how Sharon will like the dress, but I have a picture of another dress that I made for all you you to see...

I have learned two important lessons from making this dress 1. a bold print covers a multitude of sewing flaws 2. I need to go on a diet, big time.

I'm really embarrassed about the second point. I didn't realize I looked that bad. Instead of dwelling on that too much I am choosing to start my diet today. Actually we, everyone in my household that is, are all going to start the "Zone" diet. I have heard good things about this diet, and the safe healthy way it teaches you to eat and live. I am also going to try to get moving more. I have a gym membership, but I'm not sure I'm going to keep it ($$). I think I will try to take more walks for now and retry the gym option when it gets cold again.

I'm putting this all in print as a kind of accountability thing, by the way. So feel free to ask or nag if you want. I'm thinking I should post some kind of progress report too, that will mean getting out the scale-yuck. I promise I won't get too obsessed though.

To be continued...
