Day 48- Vocabulary Development

I spent the majority of a 7-hour car ride into Kansas trying to teach myself to knit. At the end of the day, I have managed to knit three rows several times only to rip it all apart. Needless to say, I uttered a few words that my parents did not enjoy. However, despite all the anger management problems I was having, my hands stayed quite busy and out of the snack box (for the most part).

I did end up eating a bit too much today and I'm rather bummed out about it. I made my favorite cappi-coffee mix before we left for the morning (50), had some beef jerky mid-noon (100), ate some fruit trail mix (100), the family stopped at Subway- I had a mini turkey sub (190), I nibbled on some more trail mix (50) and 6 triscuit crackers (120), and finally at 8:30 pm we stopped at Wendy's for "supper"- I had a caesar side salad (170). Net calories: 780. Disgusting. I suppose I should vary my calorie intake to keep my metabolism guessing, but I still feel so gross and bloated. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I weighed in this morning and was 135.6 lbs. Not too bad, if I say so myself. Though it wasn't my goal of a straight 135 lbs. I'm so worried about gaining weight while I'm on vacation. I'm waking up extra early to put at least 30 minutes in at the fitness center.

Tomorrow's my birthday. It doesn't really feel like it. My mum bought Hostess cupcakes to celebrate. I'll have one so I don't hurt her feelings. It's about 250 calories. That's a meal. Wow. I can't believe how many calories my family so carelessly consumes!

Shoot me some luck, dear Skinnys, that I'll be able to resist the snack box tomorrow and keep my calories down. And maybe master my knitting a bit better ; )
