Sascha peed in her little potty!
(Oh god, I sound like one of *those* parents.)
Bear with me though, it's funny. She's had this little potty for weeks now. We're in no rush to train her, because she's still pretty young, and lord knows if we push that little Scorpio she will push right back. We put her on it every night before her bath just to get used to the ritual of sitting on it. Tonight, Nick said "I wonder what would happen if you put her hand in warm water, like that slumber party trick." He was joking, but I was sitting right next to the tub, so-- why not? I scooped up a cup and put her hand in it.
Lo and behold! Looks like we did learn something when we were ten! She peed. It was awesome.
Still slogging through the shit-yourself-thin diet (sorry, but I have to call it what it is). I'm about to hit a wall because we have a week off school next week, during which I have at least all of the following plans: drinks with girlfriends, a date out with my husband (decadent Valentine's Day restaurant meal), a potluck gathering/playdate, lunch with another girlfriend, and two friends over for dinner. I'm also doing a little baking for a few people for Valentine's Day tomorrow (don't ask, the idea snowballed) and don't think I won't be sampling my own wares. Oh, and then there's a full day toodling around Boston with Nick on Friday when we will not be eating ry-krisp bread, lowfat cheese sticks and snap peas. It is not going to be a pretty week on the scale. But whatever-- I'll pick up where I left off, I'll have more time available to run, and I am going to enjoy every bite. Oh, and I am the most excited about our plans to take Sascha to the aquarium... her first time! Wheee! We get in free with our teachers' union cards, so it's low-risk in case she flips out in the first five minutes.

Congrats on the potty training breakthrough. I also feel better reading your post about my own diet divergences coming up. We have tonight's dinner out in which I ate a buffalo chicken salad (it wasn't that great and it was a salad in name only) plus I had a THIN piece of Scott's pizza. Also not the best and I found myself feeling betrayed that I wasted calories and carbs on something that didn't blow me away. But Saturday is our nephew's baptism, so there will be a party. Then that night I have planned some swanky appetizer type stuff and wine along with treats from our favorite bakery as a V-Day treat. (I thought buying a sweet was better than making a whole something because then I can just buy a slice.) Sunday one of our local wineries is doing a port and chocolate tasting. We're so there. So don't feel bad, like you said we just pick up where we left off. And also like you said, I plan to enjoy each unsanctioned morsel, minus the crap tonight which I will make up for tomorrow by ingesting nothing but roots and twigs.
Yay for Sasha and the potty! We have had some potty interest, but for now I am settling for being told when she's pooed. Who knew motherhood was so damn glamorous?
