The Bodice Challenge: Day 25

Breakfast: 1% whipped cottage cheese and fresh strawberries

Lunch: We went to my grandmother's house, and she had just made vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Yeah, I'd love to tell you I didn't have any, but I had three. However, they were small, about the size of a small muffin. When I got home, I had a brown rice cake.

Dinner: Linguine with homemade pesto and grilled asparagus mixed in :) One plateful, no seconds...

Evening Snack: Ovaltine with skim milk

Creativity: More productive than creative. Got all of my photos and documents and suchlike off of my old desktop and backed them up on my new external hard drive. Got the computer dismantled and brought down to the car. Tomorrow it's going to Best Buy along with my old, old, computer, hopefully I can get at least a few dollars in trade-in value for them. Once the new job starts and I have a few decent paychecks under my belt, I'll be upgrading to a new laptop as well.

Also, the last two days have brought several miracles for Mikey :) A new cosigner has surprisingly and graciously volunteered to cosign his Sallie Mae Loan, and, at the last minute , OSTM decided to grant him an extension on getting his loan materials in, and will still allow him to start in July!!!!! WAHOOOOOO!!!! Thank GOD!!! Today was a flurry of getting everything together in time, and we're cautiously optimistic :)

Exercise: 33 minute walk with Mikey :)

Blood Pressure: 115/75
