I’m still weighing in every Monday to make sure I maintain. Yesterday I was 119.5 lbs. I’m eating around 1200 calories a day. It’s where I’ve gotten comfortable. I go over sometimes, which is probably good. According to Daily Plate calculations I can eat up to 1800 calories a day to maintain … that just sounds like a lot to me though. At this point, when I am all alone with no one to cook for, I can’t eat that much everyday. Not unless I start eating junk, which is not my everyday lifestyle anymore. (Ya … I ate McDonalds the other day, but that doesn’t count!) I just have no desire to cook new recipes for myself. I enjoyed cooking to share with Jay. Not just for the sake of cooking.

If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound …. If I cook a yummy recipe for no one, does it taste good?

I just sent some books over Amazon.com for Jay. He doesn’t read for fun. Probably hasn’t read a book voluntarily in his life. But he’s bored, and it’s the only thing I can really send. Any recommendations for easy-reading books? He has a thing for islands. I sent him Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island, and Swiss Family Robinson. I’m not sure what kind of reading they are, but I know that he likes those kind of stories. I also sent the first Harry Potter book. I hear that’s one that gets people back into reading. Anyone know of any easy reading books to recommend? Or even any other books to recommend .. jokes, humor, etc? I sent him a Card Trick book too. I know he won’t read them all because he’s not away for a long, long time, but I thought I might hit the jackpot with at least one of them. He’s soooo bored.

By the way, I can’t believe how cheap Amazon is. I never shop online. $24 for 5 books??? And that was mostly shipping and handling??? I’m getting ripped off at the bookstores!

Well, I suppose I should do something with my day. Laundry, maybe a walk, lunch. I’ll be back to read some blogs later.
