It just keeps going up and up, lol.  It’s amazing to me each time this happens.  I just can’t help but ask myself, how can a person gain five pounds in just five days - while exercising and counting calories?!?!  Totally amazing - but at least it’s not upsetting.  It’s normal fluctuation and the price I pay for peeking at my weight every day is that I am tuned into those ups and downs.  I still can’t help but look though.

I went grocery shopping this morning and bought all kinds of yummy stuff.  Yummy, low-calorie stuff.  Shopping for groceries has never been this fun!  Strange, I know.

Update on the home front, tonight I was actually able to redirect my daughter’s behavior, wow.  She was in a (her usual) nasty mood and was snapping at her brother and at me with absolutely no provocation whatsoever.  Finally, I stopped what I was doing and asked her, “Okay what’s really up with you because you’re biting our heads off!  Is there something else wrong?”  She admitted that, yes, she was upset and told us why and it turned out that it was a total misunderstanding on her part and she was “being mad just in case.”

Big sigh!

Anyway, for the rest of the evening she was civil.  Pleasant, even.  It was weird.  I’m not complaining by any means, but having lived through the past five years with her in the house, a whole evening of “pleasant” qualifies, without a doubt, as weird.
