You like the taste of danger, It shines like sugar on your lips

So, I went to Weight Watchers again last night. I lost 2.4 more pounds (yay) which brought me over my initial 5 pounds, so AnnMarie gave me my "I lost 5 pounds!" bookmark. I also got "Double Bravos" (I.O.W. 2 start stickers with "BRAVO" on them) for making it through Brit's memorial service without going near the buffet. Used to be the only way I could get through something like that was with a plate of food in my hand at all times. Believe me, I was tempted. Food is really my bitter enemy. I swear, the fucking buffet was practically calling my fucking name. But I wouldn't let it win. I could almost hear AnnMarie telling me I'd made a lifestyle change, wasn't that great? I was very proud of myself. Even more so when AnnMarie had everyone applaud for me. I am determined to have a good week again this week. I want to keep losing When the woman who weighed me in told me I'd gone over the 5 pound mark, I swear I almost cried. Kinda silly, since it's only 5 pounds (well, 5.4) but still. It's 5.4 pounds that are no longer on me. And I don't want them to come back. I was so encouraged that by 9:30 this morning, I'd already drank 4 of my 6 recommended cups of water. I'm now at almost 10 cups. Drinking water is a BIG part of the WW program. I've heard many people say "If you work your program, your program works." It's definitely true. I count and track everything I eat & drink, I've been more active, and drinking so much water I could float away, and I've lost weight.
So today I actually cooked, for the first time since the parents left. I've been pretty much living on the Weight Watchers SmartOnes frozen meals, but I felt ambitious today, so I made myself scrambled eggs for breakfast, and I just made Bertolli Three Cheese Tortelloni for dinner. The tortelloni came out to 5 points, which was good. The sauce (Five-Cheese Marinara by essensia) was 1 point for 1/2 cup, and I didn't use anywhere near that (I used maybe 2 Tablespoons) so that was next to nothing. Most of my SO meals are around that point value as well, so it was a nice change without going over board.
I've become addicted to Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi. And to Propel fitness waters. Oh, and to Sugar Free Jello Creamy Caramel pudding cups.
I got a card in the mail from Marie. She's supposed to get home either today or tomorrow. LoL...she has no idea how much has happened while she was away. I can just imagine the conversation Sunday morning ("So, what's new, hon?" "Oh, not much...my parents moved to Manville, I'm living on my own, I joined Weight Watchers & lost 5.4 pounds." "...What?!" LMAO) I've missed her a lot. It seems like she's always away when I need her the most. She would have been a huge help during all the stress from Britany's suicide & Isabella's death. She was away back when my grandfather dies. I remember she'd left the same morning he died.
It's odd to think that it's already going to be Spring Break, as of Monday. I feel like the semester just started, but it's already half over. Sheesh.
OK, I'm tired of sitting here, and my ass hurts from this chair LoL I'm gonna go watch TV for a while.
