Forward and Backward Steps

Saturday night I took my last dose of birth control!  Yay!!  It feels so good to be rid of those tiny pills and the 8pm alarm to be reminded to take them every single night.  I couldn't stand it anymore and reactivated my account on my charting site.  It's so nice to be back on the forums there reading what everyone's going through on their journeys to parenthood.

I think we're really going to be moving to Nashville in May!  The husband had a talk with the chef Friday and told him about our plans of leaving in a few months.  The chef said he will not only write him a letter of recommendation but also personally call any restaurant the husband wants to work for and try to get him a job!  How awesome is that?!  We totally weren't expecting anything like that, and with this chef's name and recognition behind him, he can probably get a job just about anywhere he wants.  He's been really hopeful about one restaurant in Nashville, and the chef here is friends with the chef there, so I'm really thinking that it'll work out.  I'm so proud of him!

My diet went to hell over the weekend!  Haha.  After picking up the roommate from the airport Friday, we met up with the husband for dinner and I got BBQ nachos with tons of sauce and the disgustingly delicious nacho cheese.  Sigh.  Saturday morning I tried to be good again, but the husband brought home fantastic junk food after work, and that set the food tone through Sunday evening.  We had burgers and hot dogs and chips (when was the last time you had Bugles?... oooh, and being a Carolina Girl I couldn't pass up the new Lay's Tangy Carolina BBQ chips... awesome, even though it was SC style) and grilled cheeses and peanut butter/Doritos sandwiches (seriously, you have to try it!), then made a special trip to the store last night to get everything needed for baked ziti after a mini Sopranos marathon.  It was delicious too.  I just drank a Special K shake and will try to climb back on board and stay there all week.  There are leftovers in the fridge calling out to me though... must resist.

I started taking Alli last week.  After reading about the consequences of eating badly while on it I was too scared to use it this weekend, although that would have been the absolute perfect time to.  I'm sure I'd be suffering for it today though.  It's suggested that women wear a pantyliner until they get used to it, but I keep wondering what the men are supposed to do??

I'll leave you now with that pleasant picture in your mind.
