Yep. That’s exactly what happened.  Hobo spiders have chosen to infest my house and in spite of $1600 invested by my landlord last week to exterminate them, last night, one ran out from under my dear 6 month-old’s toys as I was moving them! YIKES! I do not want one of these nasty things biting my dear daughter.  My dh cornered the darn thing and I rushed to his aid, leaving dd unattended a moment too long.  Tho she can not roll over yet, dd ended up using gravity to aid her in her tumble to the floor.  My poor baby!  She bonked her head on the coffee table on her way down and I didn’t even see it happen. SIGH. So here I sit, typing today’s journal entry, with Natalee sitting on my lap, the red bump glaring up at me as a sad reminder.

Ok, I know that had absolutely nothing to do with my weightloss journal.. but I thought it made a great title to today’s blog. And I figured I couldn’t title my blog and not at least share the story.

So, now on to my day.  I honestly, haven’t done that well today… only 1 fruit/veg and very little to be proud of. BUT I have stayed w/in my point allotment thus far.  A friend of mine went with me to a small festival in honor of Mexican Independence day in a near-by town… another friend of mine has a little boy with Leukemia and they were selling food in a booth to raise fund for Gavino.  I had yummy corn-on-the-cob, with butter and parmesean cheese (YUM!) and a half of a taco.  I feel like my “slump” yesterday produced a hangover affect.. I WANT CRAPPY FOOD!!! like I had yesterday… [sigh]…. BUT - I will get back on track and keep my weight loss from last week. I have 8 days to lose 2 more lbs and maintain my 3 lb loss.  My mom is buying me a 1 month pass to WW -UNLESS… I lose 5 lbs by my birthday, and then she’s buying me 2 months!  So it’s a pretty good incentive.

Well… it’s 7:19 pm and if I can stay away from food the rest of the night, I’ll be ok.  I just need to get something good to drink, like coffee, to tide me over.  WISH ME LUCK! (:
