So yesterday, Day 1.2 of Weight Watchers, went very well!

I forgot to weigh myself before starting, so I weighed myself this morning and I was actually 16 pounds lighter than I had thought I was! So either my scale is 16 pounds off or I either mis-read or mis-remembered what the scale said at my doctor's office the other week.

I prefer the latter. Especially since that means that I did not gain back 35 pounds of the 40 I lost two years ago, but only 19. Still, that's nineteen pounds I'd rather have off than on, but it ain't as bad as I thought.

It also means that I ate a point too many on Monday, so I actually had six Flexpoints on my very first day! Not as much in control as I would have liked it, but not too bad.

I went to the supermarket and got lots of soup and cereal and snacky things. Even some fat-free pudding! I never had the slightest wish to have fat-free pudding, especially since I could probably make regular cooked pudding with skim milk as usual and have it be pretty low points-wise.

When I got home, I put the cereal into little 4 point containers, all ready to snack with, and figured out how much all my soup was, writing in a sharpie on the label how much they were worth. O, and I got these spectacular trail mix bars with almonds and dried cranberries in them that are 3 points each. Unfortunately, eating one makes me want to eat the entire box.

I sense a disturbance in the Force.

The DVD for yesterday was 28 Days, which I watched twice, of course. I saw it when it first came out and liked it very much, but people badmouth this film so much that I wondered whether I was mistaken. I wasn't.

It's funny, but it's not a light film about addiction, it's very serious about the problems involved and how it affects your family and everything, without being maudlin or preachy. And Viggo Mortensen is totally hot.

I went into the city to go to the library, and considered the idea of maybe going to see the SAG film, which was I Heart Huckabees, which sounded like it had an interesting premise and certainly has a great cast, but Cynthia saw it Monday and said that it was dreadful.

Now, we don't always have the same taste in film, she despises Being John Malkovich and I love it, but since her problem with the film was not that she disagreed with it or that it made her uncomfortable or angry, but that it bored her silly, I decided to follow her advice and not give away two hours forever that I could never get back.

Today's horoscope:
Being realistic won't be easy, but try your best. You need to remember the whole truth of the situation -- not just your favorite parts. The devil really is in the details.

One year ago today:
It was like doing one of those puzzles where you have to slide the numbers in the correct order, and sometimes in order to get the numbers it the correct order, you have to take numbers that were already right and make them wrong before getting them back to their rightness. Only with doors and coats.
