WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?

I lost some weight the first week but then gained back a pound when I weighed yesterday. Another set of scales bites the dust. I have not eaten any sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no grains, no nothing and yet my scales turn against me. What is happening? Am I supposed to eat just a very little bit or can I eat 10 oz. of steak and a salad with vinegar and oil and expect to lose weight? If this doesn't start getting better, I am going to have my jaws wired shut, get liposuction, have…

DAY 5

Well, it's day five. So far, so good. There is one problem though. I woke up in jail this morning. It seems that sometime during the night, someone broke into DK Donuts on State Street in Boise. They arrested me because I was outside the shop screaming something about not knowing that all leftover donuts were given to  the women's shelter at close of business and how unfair it was that a person can't even find a day-old donut at 3:00am. 

I will continue to deny my involvement and plan…

Day 3

Rachelle, I would certainly appreciate any menu ideas. I have my lunches pretty well covered since Moon's Restaurant is across the street from my office. They make the best burgers and milk shakes in town. (Don't tell Jim B.) However, I am having trouble with dinner and specially with breakfast. Can I really eat eggs and bacon? It seems counter intuitive but what do I know.

The squirrel was tasty but a bit overdone.
