Well, I'm back up to 219. I think it's the PMS monster. I had a terrible day Wednesday. I walked into the health food store to buy one thing and walked out with a bag of Tings (have you ever had these; they're like vegan Cheetos), an orange creme soda and a vegan lemon poppyseed cookie. I went home and had myself a little party

.
Heather-Happy Birthday!!
Jill-isn't McDougall great? I just wish I could stick to it.
Erin-nice job on the run.
Congrats on the losses, zinkemomx2, summerkate and Quillie!
Haleygirl-I'm there with you on the stupid PMS weight. Unfortunately, I didn't stay on plan like you did. Good for you, though.
JackieRN-You're so close to goal that it's just going to be harder. But nice job on maintaining!!
Tigger-Amy's Organic has vegan food (mostly burritos and wraps), but you can sometimes find them on sale for really good prices. If you cook, it's easy to make up a bunch of burritos and freeze them.
Alright, I have a herd of deer that come to my house every day. There are about 12 of them and sometimes they come together and sometimes in smaller groups. Often the bucks come by themselves. Last week I looked out and there were 4 deer and one of the smaller ones (one of the babies that had just been born last spring) was out there and she has a broken leg (a front leg). Well, I freak out. I didn't know what to do so call a wildlife rescue that we have in town. They tell me that deer can actually survive with a broken leg. It won't ever heal, but she will probably go on to have babies of her own and live a normal life.
I looked back outside and she's happily eating and hopping around. I didn't see her again until Wednesday, and she looked really bad. She was alone and although she was eating, she looked really skinny. She was having a really hard time getting around too. I got upset all over again. I think that's part of the reason I had my little binge on Wednesday. Emotional eating, anyone? I didn't think I'd ever see her again.
Anyway, just now I looked outside. There were about 5 deer out there and she was with them. She was eating and when my dog walked by she CHASED him up the hill!! I think she's going to be ok!!
I know I shouldn't get attached to wild animals, but it's hard not to.
Anyway, have a great Friday, everyone!!
