Introducing my Christmas tree! Yes, I know I have a beautiful tree. It's one of the prettiest on the planet. We are ready for Christmas!

I've decided that because of my diet, I am going to throw myself off of a building. Throw myself off of a building and land right onto a nice, soft, fluffy piece of pizza! I tried to get Arabela to say, "Pizza" today. I told David that surely if she could say "pizza" that it would be reason to celebrate... with pizza! We tried to get her to say it for about 5 minutes before I heard the words of Hebrews 12:11 in my head... Thank you Amanda! Amanda has been a huge help to me, keeping me from stopping the diet.
Although I'm not supposed to have it, I've introduced a little bit a crunchy peanut butter into my diet. I've had some 2 times now (1T). I needed to offer myself a little more variety since I wasn't eating enough. Friday evening I am going to eat normal food. I can't wait. I will continue with the morning routine, but I will add salad dressing to my afternoon salad. I've had a little bit so far, but only 2 times (1t). So, back to Friday. I have no idea what I'm going to eat. I'm so glad I did this diet b/c the simple meals are now waaay appealing. I'm not happy I did the diet because now I want pasta more than ever. I used to be able to go days without pasta, and now I want it all the time. I think once I get back into the swing of things, I won't crave it anymore.
I feel as though I've accomplished what I wanted to. I lost a few pounds (10 total in the last 4 weeks) and I feel like my hormones are a little bit back to normal. I'm not as easily confused, but we'll see once HEDGE starts back up. I'm eating meatloaf right now. I hate meatloaf. I love my friend Amanda J. I know you're reading this right now. So, hugs! Miss you so much.

I will add: I am no longer sleeping all day and I have energy again!
