Long day, yesterday! Andrew got sick at school and I had to bring him home and then race back to work. After work, we had a staff meeting/training, and then I just stayed at school until the ROTC meeting yesterday evening. Got home around 7:00, ate half a Subway veggie burger, watched American Idol, and then scrounged around the medicine cabinet until I found an Advil PM and hit the bed. I slept like a newborn! No aches or pains this morning. Maybe another birthday is just what I needed.

Weight is down 3 pounds this morning from when I totally freaked out Monday morning.  Even so, I’m making Mr. Scale beg for mercy at 180.5.  That’s bad enough but imagine Monday morning when I stepped on him and saw 183.5!!!  Still feeling gently motivated and doing what I can.  I’ve passed the word…absolutely NO birthday cakes around here!

8:00 a.m. - So much for my resolve…got to work and there’s a gorgeous vase of flowers on my desk from Phyllissann, a strawberry shortcake birthday cake from ? and HOMEMADE carrot cake from Phyllissann.  Okay…one piece… Really, how can you not eat at least one piece when someone makes it especially for your birthday?

1:00 - Okay, I skipped my yogurt for breakfast and had strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream.  Then I skipped my Lean Cuisine and had lucious carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.  I think it all comes out about the same….
