Ridiculously Proud

of myself.

I'm on a diet (weight watchers - which I'd recommend to anyone trying to lose weight), and doing pretty well. I'm getting ready for my weigh in today, but in the last month I've lost almost 10 pounds. But that isn't what I'm so proud of.

I'm proud that I called my mother-in-law before shabbos and said, "Hey, I'm kind of worried about staying on my diet," because I know you made a lot of unbelievably fattening foods, "so could I bring a veggie platter?"

I'm proud because it's really hard to say to your mother in law, "hey, I don't trust you to make food I can eat, so I'm gonna bring my own." But I did it, and I basically stayed on program. So I'm proud of myself for making the call, and I'm proud that I was pretty good.

Yay me!

Time Warner Cable is sponsoring first books for children.

Maybe I'm cynical, but it sounds to me like Philip Morris sponsoring anti-smoking ads.

I had a great day today at clinical. It was my day at antepartum - so I spent a couple hours with a pregnant woman, sat in on her genetic counselling session (which, by the way, was really interesting) and saw an ultrasound - which was cool, but kind of makes me feel like a moron, because all I could see was the hands and the spine. There was lotsa other stuff to look at, and the tech kept trying to show us what stuff was, but she could have been making it up for all I could see. Well, I guess that one of those things you have to see a really lot of before you can recognize what's what.

Also, I came up with an awesome Chanukah present for Tzvi tonight, so I'm really excited.
