Food 2/3/2008

Yesterday was free day. I went to a couple of superbowl parties and had a mix of foods, so it would be hard to track it all down. Let's just say it was n the usual ballpark.

4 Pounds!

I weighed myself this morning and had lost 4 pounds since last Friday. This is a total of 105 pounds in 4 months and 2 weeks.

Just FYI, 4 pounds is the lower limit on exclamation mark territory. At 3 pounds it only gets a period.
