Good morning. Here I sit, at 8:40 in the morning, and I've already had two cups of coffee and I'm working on my oatmeal. I'm actually contemplating going to the gym once I'm done with my breakfast. Normally, I don't get to the gym until about 11:30a, so why the early-morning motivation? I have to weigh-in tomorrow morning! I'm really hoping to hit my 5% loss this week, which means I would need to lose 1.2 pounds. Now, usually, I wouldn't be nervous about losing 1.2 pounds...my number has been 1.8. However, this week, I have PMS, and I simply cannot control myself! It started yesterday, and for the most part, I did well. Until last night. Then, everything I saw went in my mouth. So I guess now I feel guilty for that, and am trying to stave off my guilt by going to the gym. At least I'm not soothing myself with food, right?

This weekend we are going to a local Groundhog's Day parade, and then to lunch (naturally), and then on Sunday I have a baby shower to go to. Thank God the Pats aren't in the Superbowl. Then I'd really be in trouble! I have to save my "extra thingies" for this weekend. Speaking of "extra thingies" I'm pursuing my weight loss using a nationally-advertised program, and I don't want it to seem like advertising for them, so I won't be using any of their names for anything. You'll probably be able to figure it out, but then that's on you!

So tune in tomorrow, and hopefully I'll have good news!
