Today is Tuesday

My novel now has over 43,000 words. I want to hit 44K before bed tonight and maybe more. Tomorrow is my friend's birthday, so we she wants to go out so the whole writing thing will be later than I want, unless of course I head out of work early and write at Starbuck's before happyhour. Of course I am only drinking water, since I am on that fun fun diet. I know what Survivor contestants feel like now. I go to bed hungry every night. Also, I have not had any kind of bread product since last Monday when I had my birthday cake. Woohoo. I think that alone will help a ton, coupled with the fact that I have not had anything to drink other than water and decaf. Tonight after 8 days I treated myself to an all natural banana smoothie I made with milk and pineapple juice. More sugar than I should have since I cut out all candy, too, but it's ok. I went to Florindino's today for lunch with work people, and they all had calzones. I had a friggin' salad. Yuck. Oh well. What I will do to fit in my clothes before Christmas. Five pounds done.
