Yesterday I made the mistake of going back and reading the archives of my blog. It depressed me for two reasons. First, I was a much better blogger back then. I wrote long, witty, genius, brilliant, hilarious, clever entries. Now I’m lucky if my entries are longer than 100 words. Second, I was reading the entries from early 2004, when I first started Weight Watchers. I was so hardcore! I lost 3.2 lbs in a week, and that was normal! I lost 35 lbs in 6 months!

So here’s what I take from that lesson. I need to write better entries (regardless of the fact that no one comments anymore, sniff, sniff) and I need to get really hardcore with Weight Watchers.

So starting Friday (for real, come on people, you try counting points on Thanksgiving day), I’m going to be seriously hardcore. I mean, Kristina’s wedding is now a little over four months away and I look like a repulsive blob. I don’t want to do that to her.

And a happy 18-month birthday to my adorable Ellie!
