Wow! I took a long break from my journal. I think I am ready to get back to it now! I am now down to 112 pounds! That is incredible to me! I have started exercising finally. Although I haven't gotten on the Nordic Track since Monday. OOPS! I need to get back on it. I have also been doing sit-ups. I guess I haven't been working on my page as much because it hasn't been working right when I do. When I make changes to my page and upload it, it takes at least a day before the changes show up. I don't get that. I guess I got frustrated with it! I will try and do better! I want to thank all the people who sent me e-mails and bought the book. Dietwatch.com put a link to my site and I got a lot of traffic from it! It was nice to hear from so many nice people who are in the same boat as me! I still want to respond to all the e-mails. I just need to find the time to do it. I have been going through some stressful times in the last few months. I think that is part of the reason I haven't been working on my page so much also. But, things are getting better and I am feeling better too! I am also excited about getting back to keeping my site updated! I have lots of stuff here to look at! I just need to make some improvements here and there. I need to add things also! Well, I need to go and fix my boys their bedtime snack. I will try and add another entry tomorrow! Thanks again to all of you who visited my site and had such nice things to say!

Good afternoon! Wow, I am actually making another journal entry! That is pretty good for me. I think I am going to have to start keeping this diet journal up to date! The last few days I have been having cravings! Some of it is pms but I haven't been eating like I am supposed to either. I have hardly been eating. So,my goal is to get back on track with my eating! If I eat like I am supposed to I won't have the cravings anymore! I haven't been slipping too bad. It is just that I need to keep it under control. I don't want it to get out of control! I seem to have misplaced my diet book. I have no idea what I did with it. I think it wouldn't hurt me to start reading it again! It has been a long time since I looked at it. So, I guess I shall have to search for it. I did eat bad today. I started off good but then when I got home I ate a yucky Little Debbie Brownie which wasn't worth the calories. Then I ate some yucky Pizza Flavored Pringles. It is the PMS I think. Now I just feel kind of gross. So, I will remember this feeling the next time I feel like pigging out on gross food. I need to make something good and healthy for supper tonight! I think I will dig some chicken breast out of the freezer! I know I haven't been eating enough due to the fact that I lost 3 pounds last week. That sort of just melted off. That is sort of wild to me! Well, I better go as I have some housework and laundry to do. Then I need to do homework with the boys! Have a good night everyone!

Good morning! Wow! I lost a pound! Oh, Happy Leap Year by the way! I went to high school with a girl who got married on leap year. So, she only gets to celebrate her anniversay every four years. Bummer! I added an entry here yesterday but the page wouldn't save for some reason! That was frustrating as all heck get out! So, I shall try it again today. I don't know if it will work or not! I hope so! I get so irritated when this won't work! I guess there hasn't been too many exciting things happening in my life. Actually, things have sort of tamed down a bit. My sisters are coming to visit me this weekend. That should be fun! Hopefully my oldest sister will bring her four kids. My boys will be thrilled! They love their cousins and don't get to see them very often! Hopefully the weather will be beautiful also and they can all play outside! When I took the boys to school this morning it was already 45 degrees out! How wonderful! The wind isn't blowing today like it was yesterday either. So, hopefully it will get nice and warm out. The best part is the sky is blue and the sun is shining! It would be a good day to stay home from work if you ask me! BUT, I need that money so I will be going in spite of the weather! I suppose I better get ready to head out! I still have to throw my lunch together. Have a wonderful Leap Year everyone! I hope this saves, I hope this saves, I hope this saves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
