well, i thought that i was going to fall asleep at a reasonable time last night... I suppose I did - if you live in Hawaii - since I wound up FINALLY hitting the hay at 6:15am. yeah. awful. I woke up at 11:30am -- so, at least i got a little sleep.
it's pouring rain right now...sort of flooding the streets near me. i stepped on the scale again this morning... things are looking promising. I'll post the "official" weekly weigh-in tomorrow on here. remember, last tuesday I was 240.3 (that was the wake-up call for me... I've been hitting snooze for too long.)
With Easter coming up, I'm a little worried, because I have to go to a family dinner on Sunday and I think they want me to make dessert (which I don't need to eat, of course.) I just don't want to allow myself to get knocked off track.
I have a crazy amount of dishes to wash today - I'm not sure if I'll be making it to the gym... I think I'm going to focus on the cleaning and also cook some sort of chicken dish for dinner tonight (it's hard because gigglemom is all "chicken AGAIN?" --- although, I'd made pork chops last night and sausage the other night -- she thinks it was regular sausage, when in fact, it was turkey sausage)
if i feel up to it later, maybe i'll head to the gym, but between the housework and the cooking, it's looking like i'm just going to focus on the eating portion of the "lifestyle change" today.
yeah, actually, i'm going to go tomorrow... so that tomorrow when i weigh in, it will be a reflection of my food intake rather than the combo of exercise... next week's results will show that!

UPDATE @ 6:08pm : well, Monday has turned into Punctuation Day and i'm doubled over with cramps. yay. On the positive side, I can see the bottom of my sink... it's now soaking in hot water & clorox. Unfortunately, I only took the dishes OUT of the sink and set them to the side... but, it's a start. (I also have storage bins sitting on my patio and they've got dirty dishes in them. Yes. I've become a Dirty Dish Ostrich and have tried to not deal with them in a while. Yes, I would like to throw them all out... alas, gigglemom won't let me.
Gotta make a dent in some of these dishes & pans before starting dinner (I've been using paper plates & plastic utensils for a month.)
I checked out THIS SITE and calculated what my caloric intake should be in order for me to lose weight...
You should consume about 1,386 calories a day to reach your goal weight of 145 lbs This is at a reasonable weight loss average of 1.5 lbs per week, which should be reached by June 15, 2011.
UPDATE @ 8:30pm: I'm calling an audible and not doing the chicken. I'm making a pork chop sandwich for gigglemom and I'll be having a turkey burger (The reason for the decision? I forgot to defrost the chicken breasts) -- took my Z at 8:30 as well... we'll see if tonight's a lucky early sleeping night
