Becky thanks for your words of encouragement and your great advice. I do enjoy the South Beach Protein Bars and plan on going out and purchasing some today. I've gone back to making sure I get in my protein and vitamins. I started back at the gym working out on Saturday and I'm feeling pretty good about things. I'm determined to stay away from junk food.

Yesterday was a very scary day here in Gallatin. At about 2:19 my son was sitting in the recliner and looked out the patio door and asked "Mom, what's that?" It was the tornado, in my front yard! I called my Mom to tell her a funnel cloud was headed her way as we ran to the bathroom and hopped in the tub until it got quiet. We then ran outside to see if it hit any of the buildings around us and we saw it moving away, getting larger and darker as it went. A few minutes later my Mom called me back to say it came through her backyard and lifted up and crossed the road about three houses down from her then crossed the river. They lost some trees but no damage to the house. Some of our friends and neighbors were not as lucky, some of them have damage but the house is still standing. Others have lost everything. As far as I am able to tell, no one that I know personally was seriously injured or killed. I do know that at least seven bodies have been recovered from the wreckage. Had the storm hit later in the day I know the loss of life would have been much greater. WE are counting our blessings. Toni
