I have said it before and I will say it again- You are very, very talented. I wish I could draw and paint like that. I have a hard time with the stick people- I can never get their feet right-lol.
 
Thanks, Butterfly!
Thanks, Cowboy! haha! Stick people feet are hard! ;)

So, today has not gone as planned at all. I didn't sleep worth a crap last night and was exhausted getting up this morning to take the kids to school. I still had a headache from yesterday. I don't know what was up with my head yesterday, but it hurt pretty much all day. I get migraine auras without the actual migraine, and it felt like one of those was going to start all day. Like my vision was a little off, but it wouldn't develop into a full aura. I usually get the aura and then a regular dull headache after(not migraine level though), and then nausea. Today the headache was worse and I finally got the aura. Hopefully that's not a new trend that continues. Not cool.

I did some sketching Saturday. Didn't get anything done yesterday. Today I'm getting a late start, because I had to lay down and close my eyes for a while. I'm about to hop on the treadmill though. I feel fine now, so NO EXCUSES. Monday, Wednesday, Friday..... I'm getting off my ass and doing something!

Now to find my ipod. Where did I put that thing. lol!
 
Thanks, guys!!! :)

In the top of the closet, right behind your collection of New Kids on the Block memorabilia.

Ok, guys, I did 40 minutes on the treadmill. My head feels ok. Eyes are still a little sensitive to the light, but other than that, they're fine.
 
haha... my diary needs a warning sometimes. :oops:



Yesterday went pretty good. My calories were good and I exercised. Today is going pretty good as well. I want to be really good the rest of the week, because Monday is our anniversary! We were married in a town that's about 2 and a half hours away from where we live. We're thinking about driving down there on Saturday to spend the day. If we do, we will definitely be eating some bad stuff. The town literally smells like chocolate and warm bread when you walk through it. It's intoxicating. lol!

If we don't drive down there, we'll still be going out to dinner and stuff, so I still need to be good this week.

One good thing I've noticed:
My hoodie that was getting pretty snug around my stomach is loose again. :hurray:
 
I use my clothes as my indicator as to whether I gain or lose weight. I haven't stepped on the scale in a long time now. How do I know I am at goal then? My teeny tiny pants-lol. That is how. If they fit- I am at goal. I thought I would try something completely different. I stopped becoming a slave to the scale when I tried to lose the weight I gained this last time. I weighed myself to find out how much I gained and I haven't stepped on it since. It is nice to not have that feeling of dread. This won't work for everyone but it worked for me. I found it a much more pleasant way ( if you can call dieting pleasant-lol) of losing weight.

Good job on the loose hoodie!

Happy Anniversary to both of you!
 
Yay to clothes getting looser Jen. Your diary doesn't need a warning, unless it's prepare to laugh! :D
 
Thanks, guys! I've been trying to not care so much about the scale, but curiosity usually gets the best of me. lol!


We ended up going out and doing a little shopping tonight, and had dinner while we were out. My calories are still ok. They're under maintenance at least. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I'm probably going to go visit my friends for a little while, and then I need to clean the house and get my daughter's birthday stuff ready. We're having a little dinner for her tomorrow night. There will be cake, BUT I'm only going to have a small piece! I purposely bought a smaller cake this year, just so there wouldn't be as many leftovers. lol!

I did 40 minutes on the treadmill this afternoon. Yay for that! :hurray:

Me too. lol!


I did ok today. I had one small piece of cake and a scoop of ice cream. My calories for the day were around 1700. I'll take it I guess. It was a busy day and night. I'm super tired. I cleaned the house today, visited with my friends, celebrated my daughter's 13th birthday, and worked on a drawing for a little bit. Tomorrow I have to do some laundry, work, and do the treadmill. :)

Doing all that and coming in around 1700 cals is heroic, well done Jen!
 
Cake, why did it have to be cake? (Any Indiana Jones fans out there?)

I'm facing cake and pizza tonight, Jen, so if you could send me some mojo, that'd be greeeeeat (Any Office Space fans out there?)
