  • Hey, Jill! I just set the date for April 12th through the 15th. I think I'm going to miss the cherry blossoms unfortunately. If you have the urge to have coffee, drink, lunch, dinner, let me know; it would be really fun to meet irl. I'm hoping to spend some time with my aunt, I just dropped her a card to let her know I was coming. Yeah, the first time I went to the zoo and saw it was free (and the museums), I was pretty excited. Of course since our tax dollars pay for it, it isn't really free, heh heh.

    Kimberley, if you're around on the days I'm there and can get together, I'd love to meet you and Howie too. It's an awesome zoo. Can't wait to spend the day there again. Great going on the eating program scene.

    Claire, I always like reading about Russian history. You might enjoy Imperium.

    It's sunny and cold here. Take it easy, all.
  • Kim - that is so weird! I was looking at both sites during Health (yes, I know, but that class does not require much brain power. I already know enough about stress and body image). I was surfing all these websites yesterday also. And good job on the calories .

    Jill - if it's not Disney, then what is it? I tried looking through IMDB and it didn't say. I am sorry you felt sick, but every day is a new days and I am sure you'll do fine today .

    Marge - Thank you for the link. I actually love reading about all history - it just fascinates me when the characters are really explored in developed in a book, which is why History, English, and Spanish are my favorite subjects (they all have to do with writing/language/reading/stories). I am still getting over the Romanov deaths.

    Okay, get this, I ACTUALLY FOLLOWED MY CALORIE PLAN YESTERDAY. For like the first time since my great-grandmother's death (I fell off the wagon after that). I only ate two tacos, and I actually broke them apart to make them seem like "more." With the same amount of meat and cheese, it was like four tacos. Yeah, I need to see things to believe them.

    And I rewarded myself with candy that actually fit into my plan. Booyah!

    And that extra pound - I suspected it was water weight, and it turned out it was. I am so happy .

    See you! Need to do my exercise (the Gunnar Peterson/Brooke Burke one, which I do every other day - it involves weight training). I upgraded to five pound weights, which don't cause too much strain but are tougher and give me a better workout than the now-easy 2.5 pounds. But first, gotta log my calories.

    So glad I have like no homework. For the past two days, actually.

    EDIT 7:06 PM: Well, so much for following the plan. My mother made my favorite deadly food - chicken (although baked) with skin and rice (I think it's yellow with saffron). She told me not to worry, that she had grown up eating all that and remained at 110 pounds throughout high school. Eh. Should I believe her? Lol, I cannot believe I am asking this.

    And she ate a lot of rice. Of course, she did have healthier foods for lunch, unlike me, so I guess it evens out. I am going to have to think of GOOD lunch solutions (not turkey ) I starve on turkey, seriously. I get hungry maybe an hour or two later, which is not what I need. Can you suggest something to I don't know 'liven up' the turkey so it's not bland? And some good, low-fat bread?

    Non-turkey ideas are great, too, though please no pork, I'm Muslim and not allowed to eat pork. Yeah. I heard that's fattening anyway.

    Okay, gonna go take a shower and read, then AMERICAN IDOL! AND MAYBE HOUSE! WOOT!
  • I started a MARCH thread. See you all there.
