Me. That’s right. ME. Not Tricia. Not Matt. Not Lenna. Not Bill (although he might be a little cranky). Me, I say. I. Am. !!!CRANKY!!! I know this will come as a shock to y’all since I’m so known for my sunny disposition and eternally cheerful demeanor, but try to get past all that for now.
I am ridiculously crabby and snarky and mean lately (more so than usual, I mean), and for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why. Aside from Bill’s ever-increasing work hours, life here at home has been pretty darn good of late. The kids are all behaving like civilized human beings, rather than chimpanzees recently freed from a testing lab. My sister is here, and we generally have a good time when we’re together. I have a new Sims 2 expansion pack to goof with during the 42 seconds of free time I have every day. Really — life is good. So why am I so cranky?
Well, I’ve mulled it over. Since my sister’s been here, I haven’t exactly been making the healthiest of choices regarding diet and exercise. Fine. My brand-new lifestyle changes went to hell in a handbasket, and I’m having a tough time getting back on track. I never really believed that food could affect my mood so negatively, but that’s got to be the culprit since I was fine up until a day or so ago.
I am cranky, and I’m not weighing in tomorrow since I’m pretty sure that would just make me crankier. I just thought I’d share. And offer fair warning.

Dude totally. I’m way back up again. I fucked off all weekend and all my progress during the week got shot to hell. I learned this week you can’t do good all week and totally give up on the weekends. I need consistency to get ahead. But weighing in sealed the deal for me. Not only did I feel like crap but I saw just how much it affected my weigh in. So weigh in just to see for yourself. Not only will it make you realize how badly it takes you off track but it’ll also show you what a difference this week of eating well will make.

Missy - I weighed in, but I didn’t post it. And I’m not going to - it made me a little ill. But yeah, I’m back on track like whoa.

Yeah no need to post it. I’m not even going to say mine out loud to myself but at least I know the number and where I need to go from here. As long as you know the number thats the important part. I thought you’d talked yourself out of weighing altogether. Now if only I could talk myself out of inhaling that whole bag of funyuns I’d be okay.
