Geesh! I have NEVER ever gone this long without a post. I bet I had you all worried! Let me just say some things to give you an idea of what has been going on in my life since I landed in California on the 20th of Feb...

• 2 visits to the emergency room (brother and mother)
• playing nursemaid to a plethora of sickies (including myself and my daughter - last two days it's been my sister)
• having to survive on the worst dialup internet connection known to man until this past weekend when i had full access to the dsl card!
• playing chief cook and bottle washer for two events (a baby shower and a friends gathering)
• losing my wallet on a trip into town (did I mention where my sister lives is in the BOONIES and we have to PLAN our trips into town?) - canceling ALL my credit cards - and then trying to figure out HOW I was gonna drive without a license when I go to the Police Department to file a report and what is there??? MY WALLET!!! Complete with all my credit cards, and my money! OMG!
  
• having to take my daughter to visit my OTHER niece for the weekend and her calling me to come get her early (mind you, my other niece lives 45 mins away)
• having to take brother and brother in law to the airport on the same day (airport is 30 minutes away, one had to be there at 5am the other at 1:00pm) and then driving into town for doctors appointments for my sister (OMG, this day was the pits - I was SO SICK)
• having to play school teacher for the first time in my life to my daughter (home schooling her while we are here) and not knowing the first thing about HOW to teach her things like "when you add 'ies' for a plural" - sure, I know HOW to do it, but how do I TEACH it??? OMG - schooling is NOT fun!
• one day I got to spend with my good blog buddy REGINA - and how that was the HIGHLIGHT of my week! I got to meet her, her mother and her daughter all at the same time! What a comfortable bunch of people they are! They made me feel RIGHT AT HOME the entire day. We went out for - what else? But MEXICAN! I had fish tacos for the first time and we all had margaritas!

To top things all off? I have not been the model P3 student. Nope, not even close. It's not like I could just hop in a car and run down the street to get P3 legal foods. So I ate what was around here. So during the entire first week??? I didn't weigh cause I didn't want to know.

Finally, starting the 2nd week (the day after I saw Regina) I weighed. It was 8 lbs above LIW - ok, so that is pretty bad, but really? It's not. When you consider I have not spent one day eating legal P3 foods, I think it's pretty darn good that I am maintaining this week anywhere from about 5 - 8 lbs above LIW. My body, no matter what I eat, will NOT go past the 8lb mark, and people??? Let me tell you, I have NOT cared what I have eaten. I eat when I am hungry, and I stop when I am full. I snack on things all day and I am eating breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I have been to Mexican, PF CHANGS!!!, Vietnamese, Japanese - eaten all kinds of bizzare foods that my niece likes to cook and yet my body will not go past the 8 lb mark. That is remarkable, don't you think???

Ok, I don't have a lot of time to spend here today. I didn't weigh myself this morning to give you an accurate gauge of where I am today, but I will endeavor to start at least posting stats and menu starting tomorrow. I have kept a semi running log of things that I have eaten, when I remembered! LOL

So with that I bid you adieu for the day. I tried to visit everyone Monday I think it was, and I will strive to be a bit more regular on there as well.

I miss each and everyone of you! Thanks for being there for me!!!
