It’s now 120 miserable degrees out now, but at least my story’s going well.

I also woke up at 123! Maybe I can eat every day and still lose weight, and who cares if I lose it slowly as long as I lose it? If these vitamins will give me a metabolism, then it doesn’t matter, but before, without much of a moving metabolism, I didn’t really stand a chance. If I can lose weight without driving myself crazy with not being able to eat, great. It should make keeping the weight off easier, too. What a miracle these green tea vitamins seem to be!

Tom watches car racing on Sundays. When it’s over we’ll be ordering Red Hot Barbie and those ornaments.

Tom still thinks I’ll see my fairy this week, but he’s like Mary – a die-hard optimist. I still think I was either ripped off or the thing was misdelivered. I’ll call them on Tuesday and try to find out.

Later…

The doll and ornaments have been ordered. Next, I’ll save for Dalene. I should be ordering her around the 1st.

Tom and I were talking about going tubing down the Salt River that’s somewhere near Mesa. He said the water’s cold since it’s fast-moving, but only a few feet deep. I guess you float down using old tires and you have to wear shoes so you don’t stub your toes on the rocks. If we do this, we’ll probably wait till it gets more humid so that the shock of the cold water isn’t so bad.

Later…

This is utterly amazing. I woke up at 123, had 1600 calories and jumped up to 125, and now, at the end of my day, I’m 124. Yet before the vitamins, I’d be the same weight at the end of my day that I woke up at when I had next to nothing to eat. Normally, 1600 cals would put a couple of pounds on me and I wouldn’t lose any weight till I went to bed (about two pounds).

The wind just kicked up and there are some clouds out there, but I doubt we’ll get a storm. It’s still a little early for that.
