Wow. I’m sitting in my apartment on a Friday evening after a busy week. Whew!
Some exciting things happened this week, but for this blog, I’m going to stick to one subject: Weight Watchers. …You might have heard about my adventurers with a Dr. Pepper fast during Lent. It went pretty well. I cheated several times, but on the whole I did pretty well. And after some initial Dr. Pepper bingeing, I haven’t had much since.
Well, I decided to up the ante. Dr. Brown assigned a class project that involved observing a large group of people… It could be a study group, a club, a Bible study…. Well, I decided to do Weight Watchers. So this whole week, I’ve been dieting. Oh, I hate that word…”dieting.” Let’s call it “academic eating.” The way I’m doing it involves computers, math, science… There is a whole new field of literature involving cookbooks and eating strategies. By golly, I actually cut up broccoli for lunch the other day. I just realized it.
So one week down. 29 points…which is almost 50% more points than someone else I know. (I’m suddenly very glad for being tall.) I was able to keep to the plan, and the first week I succeeded. Hopefully, I will continue to succeed. But should I brag? I lost 5 pounds this week. That’s the most I’ve ever lost in a week. I’ve only dieted once before to fit into a bridesmaid dress, but that was horrible. It was low carb, and I was emotionally bummed for weeks. It worked, but I didn’t like it. Well, God be praised. We’ve been talking together for awhile about my eating habits, and this seems to be his work…not mine. So surely it will prosper. [This is sounding dorky, but I hope it’s true.]

Hi, darling.
I’m not going to call tonight. I have a headache the size of the collective ego of the state of Texas. So. I’m going to try to finish writing the seniors Jane Eyre test and go to bed.
But I love you, and I’ll give you a call during my HEB run tomorrow.
