Waaa, how come my icons don't work? Did everybody do theirs by hand or could you copy and paste? Mine is a copy and paste.

Gonna try some mods for April to see if they help decrease my red days. 1. Allow a small evening snack( I've been having trouble sleeping because I'm so hungry at night), and 2. my S days will run from dinner on Friday until3pm on Sunday. UPDATE: I have not been starting s days on Friday evening after all. The snack is helping. I've been having a cup of milk with. 90 calorie fiber bar around8:30pm.

Hi Oolala,
I think for the "cool" one, you need to have a colon before and after the word "cool" the green one is (colon)mrgreen(colon).

No, a copy and paste won't work, it doesn't work because the coding's wrong - you need to set it up yourself using the emoticons. If you know how to do it, you can type it in
smiley is a : followed by D
cool is an 8 followed by )
oops is a : followed by ooops followed by :
green is a : followed by mrgreen followed by :

I copy mine by using the quote button. It pulls up the quote, I copy only the emoticon calendar, and then go back, make a new post and paste the calendar into that post. It sounds convoluted, but it's really quite quick.

+1 That's how I do it, too. Except I delete the quote coding at the top and bottom, along with whatever else I don't want to include. (Instead of copying, and pasting into a new post.)

Hope to check in and bump up to the end of the month.
Failed yesterday at exercise, today at eating. Hmmph. No, not related. Been waking up way early. Can't convince myself to work out then. Get caught up in other activities and don't stop at the regular time for exercise. Lame excuse!
Four more days in April! I can do this!

Got in a workout yesterday. A fellow philosophy student asked me today what kind of workout I do. I told her about 14 minutes, since it's what I do most consistently. I know she was asking because I've lost a little over the last couple of months; she commented that I was looking like a teenager, which, trust me, is an exaggeration, but I knew where it was coming from, and I did thank her. I also know the exercise plays only a small part. She is a sweet person, but I get the sense that she is not willing to be orderly in her eating, which I'm pretty sure is 80% of the formula.
