Hello sleep I will be happy to see you :)

I am exhausted but I promised myself I would post.

This was my first full 10 hour day. It wasn't exactly tough....but I realized upon leaving work that I was very tired and that my patience had been worn thin by the very busy last couple of hours of work.

I also realized how very difficult it was for me to pick up my son, get home, change him into his pajamas and spend appx 2 hours of time with him. Yes for the entire day! I missed him very much. I am however, very excited to get to spend tomorrow with him and Miss M and Jude and Juliet and her mom Miss A at the Zoo! I am praying that the sunshine can hold on for just a little longer.

I am very excited about my new team at work. I am definitely enjoying my co-workers. This will absolutely help to ease the transition :)

I had spent the majority of this week acting like a rebellious teenager and eating whatever I wanted. I was extremely worried about the after affects (of course I didn't concern myself with this until the day before weigh in haha) I decided while talking to M tonight that I would go ahead and do a spot check. I was pleased to find I hadn't even gained back a full pound. And I generally weigh myself very first thing in the am after going to the restroom so it is quite possible that I didn't do any damage at all.

I am a realist, I do understand that I cannot eat that way all of the time and still not see retribution but I am glad that some 5 lb revolt was avoided. I am currently watching Unwrapped on Food Network, and Oh my goodness they are making cupcakes in a jar...layers of beautiful goodness and I am having to remind myself that I am trying to be responsible. Oh my goodness it just looks wonderful. I am watching these people bake the cupcakes and make butter cream frosting (my fave) and they are in such beautiful shape...the must have learned portion control because the 10k lbs of butter they use sure isn't hitting their thighs.

Oh my. I may just have to order them...really I can't imagine not having a chance to taste this. (food aholics anonymous I think I may have to join you soon)

Alright, obviously I am tired and possibly a bit delirious so I should end this post before it goes thoroughly awry.

And to all...a good night
