Attitude:
Whew, less cravings today and the scale was kind to my overindulging yesterday. I've decided that the scale really is a lousy measure of progress...well, not of progress so much as a lousy tool for what to eat. Whenever I think I've done super good, it goes up and when I think I've done super bad, it goes down. LOL So it's a good thing that while my goal (80 in 08) is weight oriented, my true goal to get healthier doesn't hinge on the numbers...Ok, I obviously wrote that earlier in the day and spoke too soon about the cravings. I don't think I indulged as much as yesterday and I'm nipping this in the bud now, by focusing on being on track tomorrow so as not to start a downward trend. I went back to the doctor's office this afternoon for my arm...OUCH!! Without being numb, she pulled out the cloth packing strip, stuck the end of a q-tip (without cotton) into the incision area and based on how deep the hole was decided that more packing strip needed to go back in and inserted it with the end of the q-tip! Again, let me say OUCH!!!! All of that took less than a minute total, but it wasn't too much fun. I had just moved to bandaids and now I'm back to needing gauze. Oh and as an added bonus, I need to pull about 1/2 centimeter of the packing strip out each day so that it comes out completely by the end of the week. But even with all of that, my arm still feels better than it did with the cyst.

1. My HHT who got dinner ready

5. let HHT take a nap
