I hope everyone who celebrates Easter is having a happy holiday, and if you don’t celebrate it, I still hope you’re having a fantastic day.

Mine has been decent.  We spend Easter at my great-aunt’s every year (picture 41 people in a medium-sized house) and while it got off to kind of a rocky start, it turned out okay.  Of course, every single one of my cousins is either married or engaged now, except for me, and all but myself and one other have babies or small children now.  So you can imagine the scene.  I got kind of mixed signals.  Many of them asked if it was putting ideas in my head or outright said that I needed to have one, too.  However, in the next breath, after saying I’m not quite ready yet, they told me that I’m smart and I should enjoy the freedom while I can.  I have to say that they’re pretty darn cute, but I’m not quite at the point I need to be at before even thinking about it.

I got several comments about how much weight I’ve lost, which were both flattering and embarrassing.  I don’t handle the attention very well.  At times it makes me rather uncomfortable (especially when you’re getting looked up and down by your mom’s cousin’s husband….literally.  Ugh).

I controlled myself pretty well considering the plethora of yummy food options available today.  I only took small portions of the things I really wanted to try and that I wouldn’t have on a regular day.  However, everything I ate was so odd that there’s really no way for me to track my points for them, so I’ve decided to just not worry about it today.  I’m not going to let myself go overboard tonight, though, and I was a really good girl the rest of the week.  If I can just maintain this week without gaining a bunch, I will be a very happy girl.
