so i woke up cranky on saturday morning... I didn't realize until later that my crankiness was a result of knowing I couldn't eat ony of the girl scout cookies we just got, nor could I have my usual morning Mountain Dew. These thoughts upset me. I have since realized that dieting is, plain and simply, a mind game. I also realized that I felt better after talking to my sister, Beki, on the phone (she's trying to diet, too). It really helped to be able to talk about my frusterations with her and listen to hers, as well. Misery loves company, you know. I am happy to say that I made it through the weekend without eating any carbs (ok, maybe a few grams, but not very many at all - really!). I also worked out over my lunch break yesterday and plan on continuing that routine at least 3 times per week. That felt good, despite that out-of-shape burning sensation I felt in my lungs and throat.

baby's first cold... Macy woke up all sniffly this morning. She's getting a little cold, bless her heart. I tried to help her out by using one of those baby booger-sucking suction bulb thingies. It worked because she thereafter was able to breath a little quieter, but it scared her a little bit. And, silly as this may sound, we may have bonded a little more, too. I find myself thinking about her alot more than usual today. Love has an amazing way of getting stronger every day. I didn't know this until I had my own little family.
