new weight loss program...

It's called Getting Sick. I wish my appetite would stay like this, seriously. I am feeling so much better, but my tummy still aches a bit, and nothing sounds good. Nothing. And shh, I have this little pint-y container of Ben and Jerry's Pumpkin Pie ice cream in my freezer. I had bought it at Target a few weeks ago, clearanced, because apparently pumpkin stuff is not IN in the springtime. I got it in addition to a few of those Halo ice creams, the low calorie stuff. Well it turns out that my son Joseph likes the Halo stuff, so when I REALLY wanted it the other night, it was gone..but, the pumpkin stuff was there, and so, well, I ate half the container, which is TWO servings, and honestly, it took all the mighty willpower I possessed not to finish it off.

And today, even that sounds yuck.

I did have coffee this morning, and some lemon-blueberry almond bread, that I made and froze. (I sliced it up and put it in a freezer bag, now I can just microwave a few slices and have a low-carb brekky...add a little butter, and yum). I ate it, because I know I need to eat, but I didn't really enjoy it. I have heard of real live people who have it like this in general, and I have always envied them.

Anyway. Today, Char and Cam and I are going out and about. We just need to get out of the house. I am not feeling on top of the world, but we feel like going out.

We have plans for tonight, too, Master Chef Junior is on, and we're going to light the new candles the girls made yesterday. They seriously made candles yesterday when I was sick. I said they could. They microwaved crayons, and used wicks from ugly candles that they took apart...they broke my one cup glass measure, and the house smelled like crayons were melting, but no other damage, and their candles are lovely.

Not much else is happening in my little corner of the world...I am going in to the breast cancer specialists on Monday, :(.....not my idea of fun, nor what I like spending money on, but.

Yesterday the girls put the dogs' and cats' new flea collars on, the fifty dollar flea collars...multiplied by four. I am not getting a penny to say this, but the Seresto 8 month collars work! Finally, after years of having dogs and cats and fighting the fleas, these work! I hope they continue to work, too, because two hundred dollars worth of collars...blah. But they will last until the end of November.

Well, the girls are all ready...it's funny how things change, they take care of themselves so well, choose their own clothes...I remember when "getting ready" to go bye bye meant choosing out clothes for like ten kids...now I just have to give advice, maybe some suggestions to change something or other, help find a particular pair of leggings, but mostly just get my own self ready...
