Hi Carol, Karrie and everyone else.  Sorry for being absent but I haven't had internet for a few days. 

Karrie, I hope the medicine will clear up your fur baby's ear infection.  I hope you and your dh have a wonderful vacation and can relax some.  Hopefully you will have nice weather so you can get out and enjoy yourself.

Carol, I am the same way about trigger foods.  The only way I won't eat them is if I don't have them in the house.  I try to convince myself I will just eat a little bit but it stays on my mind until its gone.  Some days maybe I really can have a small amount but then other days I am much weaker over temping foods and give in.  How is your garden coming along?

Julie, how did Sara's graduation go? I am guessing lots of tears were shed. 

I finally faced the scale this morning and it wasn't what I was hoping for but as they say it is what it is.  I have been so afraid of stepping on the scale for so long.  I have been trying to eat better and I know overall I am eating better portions and healthier but still have a lot of room for improvement.  I know I need to get in a lot more water and less diet pop and still need to work on my sleeping habits because it all contributes to my weight problem.  I hope you all have a good day and I will check in later.
