I wish my sunburn would quit hurting. Yesterday wasn't too good in the food department, I think. I didn't eat enough crap to gain any weight, but was probably a little too close to that maintenace calorie level. I am eating this crap because the quality of my food has declined lately. We are working on getting that back on track.

Tonight is gym night. We are trying to establish a new workout routine. I, of course, want everything back to the way it was NOW. I don't want to work back into it. But, I know that is unrealistic, too. Sometimes I'm not a very patient person.

I came home last night to all of the flowers I planted over the weekend near-dead. That sucked. I really thought I had watered them enough to go 24 hours without water. I was wrong. It looks like most of them will survive, but some of them have more damage than others. I'll see how it looks tonight when I get home and decide to replace them, or not. It is supposed to rain for a couple days out here, but I went ahead and watered them some this morning because of how distressed they were last night.

I was also able to find a pretty magnolia tree on clearance for $14 at the store. It needs some TLC. So, I re-potted it in a large pot last night and started the process of straightening it up. I love southern magnolias. They are my favorite tree. This will be a gorgeous tree when it matures. I decided to pot it until we buy a house. I wouldn't want to leave this gorgeous tree behind if we can't buy this house. It is young enough that it looks good in a pot. I still have some left-over zinnias that I will plant in that pot as soon as I can. Maybe the rain will hold off long enough for me to finish my planting this evening?

Update: I have been hungry all morning--well, more like two days, really. I ate 2 slices of cinnamon bread, and 1 tbsp of margarine at 7AM, about 1/2 c of left-over potato salad at 10AM, then 6 oz. shrimp with 1/8 c of tartar at 11AM, then left over spaghetti (about 2 srv) and 1 1/2 c of raw cherry tomato's, carrots and broccoli at 12PM. Also had about 9 cups of water...I think the hungries are FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY gone. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooooohooooooo.

I was really worried I was going to eat everything in sight today. I felt that way yesterday but didn't do it. Why am I so hungry, anyway? I wonder if it is because I haven't been taking my bc pill lately. That thing is supposed to keep my testosterone levels in check (and my acne at bay), but if I don't take it...too much testosterone is bad for me and my weight loss efforts (and my complexion). Why, oh why, do I do these things? How hard is it, really, to remember to take one little teeny-tiny pill a day for three weeks each month? I mean, really? C'mon, me! I can do this.
