Woo, I'm clever. I spent today feeling bleh. My sinuses are full from god knows what, so I'm sucking down the DayQuil like it's going out of style. Then I feel shaky because I'm not hungry. Blah.

My knitting project is coming along pretty well. Elliott's scarf is just about 2" long, which isn't bad, considering I recast it and started over because of too many dropped stitches on the first piece. I should be done with it by the next week-end he's over. I'm getting the hang of it pretty well.

I got a pound box of chocolate for $4 at Walgreens and a cute pair of socks. I rule.

I'm going to lay down.

I really just want to point out that the police officer who allowed himself to be chased into his car and kept there by a turkey is a HUGE wimp? It's like people running from geese. Bah.

Oh, and Steven got his first credit card Wednesday, so we're on the road to fixing up our credit so we can buy a house. Yay!

I've been really trying to lose weight since this summer. Steven and I switched gyms in an effort to be motivated more. (Of course, this is where I hurt my knee, but I can still use the pool.) Steven's been fantasically supportive about keeping my motivated, keeping my spirits up, and eating healthier with me. Not to mention telling me I look great and he loves me, no matter what, when I feel shitty about my body.

Also helping is the fact that I gave up regular soda. It's diet or water now. It's amazing how many useless calories I was adding by drinking soda. I also found I like the taste of diet better, anyway.

I know I've been losing weight because of what the scale says, but honestly, I hadn't noticed much of a change. Sure, my jeans were a little looser, but I chalked it up to stretching out. Same deal with having to tighten my bras up in the back.

Sunday, though, I fit into a pair of jeans that haven't really fit since April. Last night, I was traipsing around naked while getting ready for bed, I looked in the mirror and finally saw a difference. I look thinner from a side view and my curves are more defined full on. Not to mention my tummy fat is finally lessening a little. It totally made my night. Here's hoping that I can keep up the loss, especially when I am laid up from surgery and unable to do much.

( Here's a little more TMI )

I'm so effing tired. I was yakked this morning around 7:30 and continue to feel dizzy as hell. I'm intending on taking a nap when Steven gets home.

I wish this cold would die.

I am like mother-effing Suzy Homemaker tonight. I baked a dozen chocolate chip cookies, which are cooling now, and worked on my knitting some more, which I am going to work more on after I finish bragging about how domestic I am.

Oh, and I have a gmail account now: sltessarNOSPAM@gmail.com. This makes up for running a fever and barfing all day.
