less diapers (not diaper-less), weight loss, indian food,

Laura has been taking naps soooo nicely lately. no fuss, no playing, no whining. AND, its been without her diaper. Very exciting. 

I cooked a real meal the other night. With a recipe and everything! I tried 3 new dishes - all indian food. They were pretty successful, actually 2 were delicious. Dal (split peas) with curry sauce, Black-eyed peas in a coconut milk curry sauce and a tangy coleslaw. The slaw OK, but the other 2 were great. it felt good to cook again. Of course last night, we just had leftovers and tonight was spaghetti again, so its not a habit again or anything, but maybe someday. Here's the recipes http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/06/and-then-i-moved-into-the-refrigerator

I have lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks. I started counting calories using this website http://caloriecount.about.com

I added some to my goal since I'm nursing and apparently, all I needed was some self control because it seems to be working well. I hope it continues.
