On the right track

I didn’t get a chance to finish my orange this morning, and I was starving by the time lunch rolled around. Overall, though, it was a much better day than yesterday. I haven’t actually had dessert yet, but I’m going to! By golly!

Rachael Ray’s Vegetable Red Curry was good, easy and filling, but it was hot. I’ll make it again, but I’ll cut down on the red curry paste next time.

Half an orange … 0.5

Lunch … 7.5
Amy’s Southwestern burrito … 6

Resolve

Awhile back I said I was trying to lose some weight. Since then I’ve lost a grand total of half a pound. Not stellar work on my part.

I’ve been doing Weight Watchers via their online program. I should say I’ve been paying for the WW online program, because I certainly haven’t been following it. So I’ve decided I’m going to start going to their meetings again, and I’m going to make more of an effort to post on here about the whole weight-loss scene. Because I know it’s just a terrifically interesting subject.

Anyway.

Amy and I talked this weekend about emailing each other our food journals everyday. I’m going to take it a step further. I’m posting them here.

I was traveling yesterday, so I’m cutting myself a little slack for it being such a wretched day, Points-wise.

A wonderful weekend



When we lived in Columbia, I always said that we wanted to move closer to our families. We were there for five years, and then Rockford finished his program and (after a bit of chaos) we did move closer to our families. What I didn’t realize was how difficult it would be to leave our new family behind.

Rockford sent me to Columbia for the weekend, and it really felt like I’d never left. I stayed with Amy, and we just slipped into our comfy old friendship without a hitch.

It was so wonderful to see everyone and to get so many good and much-needed hugs. I can’t thank Rockford or my friends enough. I love you guys!
