Hi guys - I went to the mall today - I hadn't been in AGES. Truly. I was so ashamed with how I looked that I was scared I would run into people I knew. Plus, there wasn't much at the mall for me anyways. But, today was a new day. I jumped on the scale, and I've lost 30 pounds from the beginning of my journey. Wow. I have so much to go, but my clothes were feeling really big, and I kept wondering......so I did it. Of course, I got off and got back on about 15 times. ha ha. I also got a haircut yesterday. Yep, not wicked manly short, but pretty darn short. I LOVE it. Not hiding behind my hair anymore. Anywhoo.....Walked the mall with my girls, came home and rested, and then went to Target. Got some stuff I needed for the holidays, and some stuff for tonight (we are BIG on game night, and we really needed a new game!), and some fire logs to start the fire with for the fireplace. Walking around the mall, boy there was NOTHING I could eat. It was hard to find something diet that wasn't carbonated. So, I treated my kids to a pretzel, sniffed their bag (they got a hoot out of that) and drank my water. Can't wait until I can EAT. B - isopure protein drink (I LOVE the blue raspberry - tastes like a melted popscicle L - strained chicken noodle soup D - Hubby just made some turkey soup. I'll have some of that, and get some more protein in some how - probably with a protein drink later. S - Just been drinking a lot of diet iced tea and water. Keeping my tummy calm! Hope you all have a great weekend! Tammy
