today my scale told me i lost another pound. woohoo! that was a great start to the day. things went well. i went walking with my aunt and we walked three miles together. that's the most i've walked at once so i'm pretty happy about it. it didn't even seem like three miles even though it was. i guess the company and conversation really made it go by faster and seem like less.

somehow the topic of wls came up and she made a comment about not understanding why folks don't wanna tell everyone about if they had it. figuring my mother had probably already told her (my mother has a huge mouth even when told to keep things quiet) i told her i had had the lapband. she acted surprised so i guess i'll never know if my mom really spilled the beans. but she was receptive to it and even said that she would like to have it, too, but can't afford it and doesn't have insurance. i felt bad for her. =(

i might start watching her youngest daughter in a couple of months so that will bring in some extra funds. i have decided to continue to stay at home at least throughout the summer since the kids will be outta school. i will re evaluate my desire to work/the job market/our financial situation after school starts back in august.

i must confess i've been having a little ice cream and semi regularly. i feel bad about it but the fact that i'm obviously still losing doesn't make me feel quite so bad. i really dont wanna feel like i'm depriving myself but i know i really shouldn't be having it. oh what to do??? lol

tomorrow i'm taking my daughter to my hairdresser to have her new haircut fixed. who knew that the jcpenney salon would do such a hack job to a 7 year old's hair? i will never be making that mistake again. i've found it's really hard to find a really good stylist these days. i've finally found one and i guess i will follow her wherever she goes and pay whatever she asks for the surity that my hair (and my daughter's) will look good in the end. oh the tasks of being women!!! lol
