Well right back at you Darcy. It was a lovely day. The sun shone the bands marched the kids moaned and cried and whinged and wouldnt eat and then HAD to eat then HAD to pee then WHY did u park so far away ..... Ive been to the parade. Wonderful as a couple but with kids ..no. The dublin parade is not for kids. The route is thronged by big men. Mostly foreign. Strange that dublin is soo international on our national day but there you go. Just home now cos went to a harp recital and then had a cursery glance at the book of kells in trinity college after. Feet killing me. I felt weak - kept going dizzy this evening so i felt i should eat some protein. I'd say i walked 10 miles today. So i had a salmon salad without any dressing or bread or anything. Was delicious. Funny how hunger makes everything taste better. I dont feel as though ive broken my committment cos it was absolutely necessary and it brought my equilibrium back to balanced. Feel good again.

Arent you so nice Darcy & gaga. I am just about recovered now, thanks. I hurt this morning i can tell you. Even my 11 yr old was saying his legs hurt!!! Had to do the parade though.. Maybe next year we'll watch it on TV! I had a lovely mothers day. Climbed out of bed at 11- yes i said 11!!! lazed about watching the biggest loser and supernanny (my kids wont sit in the naughty spot- dunno how she does it!) and then off to the pool and a long stroll. Was sunny and warm and kids behaved themselves. I got through today 100% TS. Hurray. Wi tomorrow!!

Day: God only knows. It doesnt matter anymore. I am now released from the baby steps routine. I can say with certainty that i will get through today 100%. I can plan ahead. Now i understand the challenges you guys do which before were a significant source of stress for me. I thought "how can you plan beyond the next hour?". Well i am now well and truly on exante and i feel balanced within. My moods are stable and i am no longer depressed or feeling guilty. I dont wake up with painful joints anymore. I have a lot more energy and i have this little buzz within like you get when you have a good secret. I think that buzz, that tiny bud of excitement that i might really really do this, is what is keeping me going. More than anything i dont want to lose that buzz. That hope. Failure just isnt an option anymore.
This morning i reached my QUARTER WAY POINT. i weighed in at 15 st 6 3/8th lbs. 1/8th of a lb below my quarter way mark. The beginning is over. Now i want to take giant steps instead of baby steps so i am starting a new diary called "Giant Steps". My new goal is the half way mark. How goddam exciting.
