Okay, Monday was my very first weigh in at WW, and I lost six pounds! Score! I haven't lost six pounds in years. I've been following the points thing and getting in some activity and eating more whole grains and chugging more water. I'm not saying this is easy, because last night PMS was winning over the wanting-to-be-thin-again me. I ate two WW fudge bars and a bag of 1 point popcorn after dinner. I was proud of my restraint, because never once did I screech at the husband to go get me some Yarnell's Death By Chocolate NOW Beeyotch! And Italian take-out! And some valium for chrissakes! And a bottle of Gray Goose. Because all of those things would have totally ruined my points schedule for the next two or three weeks. Except for maybe the valium, but I don't have a prescription so.....

Anywhoo, I'm coming to the conclusion that planning is the main key to success at this WW thing. Planning menus and snack ideas and activities to do. I've discovered that as long as I keep a 100 calorie pack or low-fat granola bar in my purse, then it keeps the crazy hunger thing from overpowering my week-willed ass while I'm out running errands and away from the safety of my own kitchen. I have hope. We'll see how it goes from there.

The job front is still sllooooowly chugging along as well. Being a business owner is something akin to bleeding heavily out of your femoral artery. You know that if you don't get off your butt and DO something that you're gonna die, but everytime you seem to make progress you just start hemorraging (money) again. Case in point: do you have any clue how much it costs to advertise in the yellow pages? Yeah, me neither until today. Hundreds of dollars per month. HUNDREDS, as in more than a car payment, but not quite a mortgage payment!!!!

I think I'm gonna stick with homemade signs for now. :-)
