Guesstimating I put that at, hrm. 300 calories for breakfast. 200 for lunch. 675 for snack. 650 for the sub? 300 for the perogies and Parkay. 100 for the ice cream bar. That's, ugh, 2225 calories.

Hi Scuttle. I'm home again. Sorry I didn't check in while gone as planned. When I got to my sister's, their internet connection was not working. They fixed it over the weekend, but someone was ALWAYS on it!

Anyway, I have got a lot of work to do. I have had a bad MONTH. Ever since I went on vacation at the beginning of the month, I have made poor choices. Today I need to figure out what went wrong and bring myself back from the brink.
