Day 4

24 is an intense show. It makes me nervous. Last night, my husband fell asleep while it was on, and my friend David whom I normally call during 24 when it gets intense was watching the Golden Globes and taping 24. What was he thinking? Thus, left alone to worry about the fate of Jack Bauer, I decided a little snack would calm me down. I eyed the greasy bag of chips next to Jeff on the floor by the sofa, and instead actually walked my fat butt out to the garage pantry and got a jar of organic unsweetened applesauce and ate a bowl of that. It worked. I didn't have a nervous breakdown watching 24 and I didn't succumb to the lure of chips. Hooray for me.

This morning I had oatmeal with skim milk and a grapefruit. I got on my scale, just to check, and amazingly, it says I have lost 3 pounds. Can it be? Can 3.5 days of dieting actually produce a 3 pound weight loss? I dunno. Is my scale in tune with the scale at Weight Watchers? On Saturday, it was 1 pound different, so it really said I lost 4 pounds, but I am deducting 1 on that notion. I know I said earlier I couldn't do math, but I actually can add and subtract single digits.
