ok maybe i love it!!

last night i didn't eat another thing - not a single solitary sausage - for fear of going into 'lose it' calorie foreclosure for my terrible eating/zero exercising habits.

then a magical thing happened... i rechecked the calories of those derned 700 calorie pork sausages and realized i had made a terrible error and entered them in centimeters not inches!! they were 2 inches not 4 thus reducing the calories by 400!! and.... i was..... UNDER MY DAILY TOTAL for the first time ever (in the 2 days since i started the program)!!!

i tossed and turned with excitement, anxious to weigh myself the second i awoke. it was a sleepless night. when i awoke, 3 pounds of fat had melted away overnight!! (which makes me wonder... where to....? ewww...) if i can lose 3 pounds every single night... why, i might not have to lie so blatantly at the DMV appointment about whether my weight has changed since 1996, which CLEARLY it has but who wants to admit it?)

in other news i want to join the zoo. i have an app on my handy dandy iphone which records my walking and i figure the zoo is a great place to go with small children and get in some miles. and it's pretty and has a playground and a choo choo train, cheap gift store and a petting zoo and really funny monkeys and a new eagle called Spirit (best pet name ever!) so that's what i want for my birthday, Dear Hubbie :)

and if there is any way we could fill the extra seats of our minivan with Haiti orphans... that would be the best gift of all :)
