Went shopping and bought 3 purses, and a pair of shoes. I didn't want to buy myself clothes, because I don't know how long I will wear them, so I over compensated with handbags. On the more practical side, I also bought a new food scale, and a mandolin slicer. I feel guilty, like I had a shopping binge, or something. (The purses were more than what I would normally pay).
But the best present of all...I became a great aunt today! My niece unexpectedly had her baby this morning, 10 weeks early. My niece is fine but it's a little touch and go with the baby right now. Hopefully tomorrow will bring good news.
Good night everyone, congrats on all the SV's and NSV's. I love reading everyone posts everyday, even the struggles (especially the struggles) because it lets me know I am not alone.

Gotta tell you that mandolin slicer is one of the best things I've bought in a long time....be very careful though...my silly husband cut off a good part of his thumb with it yesterday...not good.
Congrats on becoming a great Aunt! Hoping too that you will hear good news tomorrow

Today, I finished 7 days on IP. When I went to my coach 2 days ago, I was already 4 lbs down. I am down another 2 pounds today. I am extremely happy about that. I am even happier about the fact that my body seems to have suddenly changed, because I can put on skirts that I could not fasten 3 days ago.
What is most interesting, though, is that today I would describe my mood about the diet as almost euphoric. I was on South Beach earlier this year, and although I did quite well my first 2 weeks, I never felt this way. Has anyone else had this experience? It certainly makes it easier to keep my motivation up, that is for sure.

I picked up both at my last WI and wanted to try it because I love creamsicle taste. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

alas, it was still one pound short of my first mini goal, but I don't mind so much because I've (90%) decided to not pause here as I intended just last week, but to motor on to ONEderland before taking a break. WOW, I can barely fathom that breaking that wall is actually a possibility for me. It seemed so impossible the last few years--scared me out of even trying.
And lastly, I'm thrilled that I've finally earned a signature. I'm a compulsive list maker, watch checker, and scale stander (???), so now I have another means to track my progress.
Congrats to everybody's successes today and tomorrow.

Wow!! Great job girl!! I'm so inspired by many of you on here and just wanted to give you a shout out! Awesome

Hang in there if your hungry later I would have a regular pack.
Thanks cuz! I'm gonna try another pack tomorrow if I am still really hungry. The worst part of the day was the major headache. Did you get headaches? I'm sure it's just withdrawal but it SUCKS. A good indicator that my body is detoxing the crap I don't need but owie.
Appreciate the encouragement

haha! great post! good luck with the back order, I'm sure they'll get to you by the summer!
