Butterfly- In response to your question on your diary...I love Dance Central! I only do it for about 15 minutes a day. That, added to the 2-3 miles I walk while I'm at work, is plenty to keep me moving! The better I get, though, the more I want to play. 
So, I put a second version of my weight loss vlog up. It's half the time, and not as rambly. I put a third vlog up about calories and stuff. THEN...I posted something on my channel that has nothing to do with weight loss. I sang. Eek! I sang a song from The Little Mermaid, because it's my daughter's favorite. That, and until I get a good mic, I can't sing anything I want, without distortion taking over. Bleh. SO...yeah. There's a link to my channel in my public profile on here, if anyone is interested in making fun! lol

So, I gained a pound. I was expecting it, though. It's my special lady time, so I'm probably retaining water. Plus, yesterday was my long day. I was up for 24 hours, and had to eat a little more than usual. I honestly think it's the monthly visitor, though. I'm not upset about it at all. Of course I'm disappointed to not see the number go down...lol. I'm not derailed, though. I knew it was going to happen. I'm expecting a better weigh in tomorrow, though. I will have a normal calorie day, plus I'll be able to sleep a good 8 hours.
Another disappointing thing happened. My sister was suppose to book a hotel for me to stay in my first night back in IL, on June 7th. My niece was going to keep my daughter all night, and I was going to go out for my 30th birthday. Her husband used all of the money, though. She said I can stay at her house, but she has a ton of dogs. Plus, my night to be detached from everything will be cancelled. I was really looking forward to staying out all night and then sleeping in, without a three year old waking me up at 8 in the morning. A hotel is only $60 in Alton, but with the gas money I have to spend to drive there and back, I just can't do it. Gr. If I would have known a week ago, I could have saved up. I just wanted my 30th to be special. The last 10 birthdays have been terrible. On my 21st birthday, my boyfriend at the time, and the father of my son, picked a fight with me, then forced me to have sex with him. The next birthday, he cheated on me. The one after that, I was alone. My 23rd birthday, my mom died. My 24th, I was with an abusive guy who made me cook him dinner. The next few years was spent with my daughter's father...who stole money from me every year, and never even got me a card. Last year, he told me that I could cook whatever I wanted that night for my birthday. That was his present to me. Then, he stole my unemployment check and went out drinking. The year before that, he told me he was picking me up, but left me at home to go out with his friends. I don't remember the last time I got a gift, or even a card. I'm not big on gifts, really...it would just be nice to get a card. SO...I was really hoping that this birthday would be different. I've done so well with my weight loss...and just changing my whole view on life. I just wanted this birthday to be good.

Thank you, Jen.
I feel bad. I had a mini meltdown today. I'm bipolar, and usually I can control it. The first day or my period, though, I have a meltdown. It can be about anything.
Right after I wrote that earlier, my daughter told me that there was mud on my couch. I went in to find that she had taken an entire tin of Prid Salve and smeared it across the back of my nice couch.
SO...I spent 30 minutes scrubbing the couch, getting all of my rawr out. While I was doing that, my sister called. She had gotten my friends together, and they were planning on cooking me a huge dinner on my birthday, so we don't have to spend money to go out. I love her. Now, I'll have the money for the hotel.
I knew it would all be fixed, but sometimes my emotions get the best of me.
I CAN say, however, that I didn't binge or anything. I guzzled water and cleaned. As much as I want something extremely bad for me today...due to my lady time...I'm not going to ruin my hard work. It's not worth it. I know it's just hormones, and that I am more than my hormones.
Poodle...omg...they are SO tasty. It's hard to eat just 22, but I do it. I just eat them slowly. lol

I'm so sad to hear about your past birthdays. You are a strong person to have gone through all of that and made it out the other side. You deserve a mountain of presents and cards!
I have borderline personality disorder, and trust me, I know all too well about the monthly meltdowns! They are terrible. You feel like everything is a mess and you just feel so helpless and want to (and often to) bawl your eyes out. Sigh. Telling yourself that it will go away and to just let it pass without indulging in the emotions usually helps somewhat.
P.S. Your meal looks delicious!

oooo...I would of had a mini meltdown too. That reminded me of the time my son, he was 2 at the time, found a tube of Desitin and smeared it all over himself and my dark green couch. My couch had huge white spots all over it for the longest time and smelled like Desitin forever...LOL!! Good Job not binging and chugging that water!

lol!
Yeah...I took a 10 minute shower about 20 minutes ago. She decided to pull every tissue out of a HUGE box of tissues.
Guess who's taking a nap?
My son NEVER got into anything. He played with his stuff, and left everything else alone. My daughter? Oh no...she HAS to get into everything. I have pictures of Christmas Eve morning when she tip toed out of her room, and DESTROYED my apartment. There was spaghetti sauce on her bed, koolaid on the kitchen floor, eggs everywhere...which, she only managed to break one....sugar, salt, and various other seasonings sprinkled in the carpet. The sad thing? I left at 9 am...my boyfriend sent these at 9:30. That's how long it took her. UM....?

Wow...she's fast and efficient at making a mess..LOL! Both my kids get into stuff. My oldest is 7 and she still gets into stuff, mostly my makeup and hair stuff....OH and lotion! She loves lotion and gets it everywhere! sigh! Gotta love kids, even though they drive you nuts sometimes. Or in my case...ALL the time! LOL!
*big hugs* I too have bipolar and understand the meltdown around lady time. I actually went on Depo Provera (that 3 monthly contraceptive shot) to stop my hormones from going crazy, and I've found I have a LOT less meltdowns. Are you on any medication for it?
As for your daughter, while it sounds funny to me, I'm sure its extremely frustrating for you! Hopefully it's a phase and she'll get over it. SOON! Good job on not binging too - I know how hard it can be to stop yourself from doing it!

Today has been way better. My daughter isn't on quite the destructive path as she was on yesterday. lol
Yesterday was my first day of TOM. I have read that when you have more than one female in the same residence, or even work place, that all of the hormones and cycles tend to sync up with the Alpha female's cycle. I think that's true here. While my daughter is only three, I think that her hormones were out of whack with mine yesterday. It seems to happen every month. The body is such a strange thing.
My sister has planned a party for me, which is nice. I'll have the money for a hotel, and maybe even for a tattoo. I was going to get my hair dyed, but I'm going to wait until I see the doctor on Saturday to plan that. One of my bald patches has gotten bigger. I need to just buckle down and see a doctor, to see if this really is Alopecia, or if I can get it fixed. I don't want to lose my hair. If I do, though, I'm sure I can find some wickedly cool wigs out there. Plus, I wouldn't have to worry about putting my hair up when I work out! lol
I weighed myself again this morning. I need to stop until TOM is over. I KNOW that I'm retaining water, yet I keep jumping on that scale. I'm 2lbs heavier. I'm still exercising, and sticking to my diet, so I KNOW that's what it is. I'm a glutton for punishment. lol
My YouTube channel is getting hits. Yay!
People are saying that they really like my videos. One day, I'll wear makeup in them, and actually edit them. lol
Hope everyone is having a great day!!

Glad you're having a better day! I started my TOM yesterday too. I usually don't weigh myself during that time, but I had a DR appt today and they weighed me. I almost didn't look, but of course I couldn't resist..lol. If you know you're still doing good with the diet and exercise I wouldn't worry about it. And I want a tattoo! I've wanted one for years, but can't decide what I want. I'll probably be a grandma by the time I finally get one..LOL!

lol! Yeah, I have one on my back, and I love it. I'm just super picky about them, and want it to be perfect. I know what I'm going to get, though, so I may just do it.
Oh, and I spoke too soon. I have been with my daughter most of the day. We played in my living room, watched PBS, and ate lunch together. I came in to check my stuff on here, maybe 10 minutes....and she came in to sit with me. I noticed that she had black on her shirt and on her chest. I asked her to show me where she got it. When I went to the living room...just...wow. She had gotten into a box that we haven't unpacked yet, and found an old tube of mascara. She painted the wall behind my diningroom table, the diningroom table itself, a couple of the chairs, and my LCD TV. Just....wow. She's in her room right now. I cleaned the TV and furniture with no problem. I started to do the walls, but the paint on them is so cheap, that I'm pretty sure it was washing off, too. SO...yeah.

Oh my goodness, she's a quick little bugger.
omg you have NO idea! Now that we both have jobs, I'm going to look into some things that will keep her occupied. I think an hour of coloring, or painting or something will help her. If not, I will invest in a kennel!
