Erica's 101 in 1001

OOOoops.  As you can see from the ticker, I gained weight last week.  I'm not worried, though.  I know why, and this week is different already.  I went to a Cookie Lee Jewelry party yesterday where I was a secondary vendor, and even though I overate, I went and logged everything I ate.  I'll get there...eventually.
