  • Happy Monday all!!!!

    Let's all have awesome on plan days!!!!
  • Here's a fun story....

    I was at WalMart this morning to pick up a few things. While I was there I figured I'd check out the athletic wear, since I'm "outshrinking" all my current gym clothes. There was a bunch of stuff on clearance, so I ended up buying 2 pairs of capris and about 5 tanks with built in bras. I also picked up some new gym socks.

    I got up to the till and all my gym clothes were on the belt alongside a bunch of my usual groceries (no junk, lots of veg, whole wheat pasta, etc). The cashier commented....."starting a new diet, eh?" Rather than getting annoyed, I just smiled and said "Actually, after losing 55lbs, I needed some new, smaller clothes." She was super embarrassed and kept apologizing, and I just told her it was okay but that maybe she wouldn't be so quick to assume next time. I left the store in a really good mood.

  • Hi everyone! Just popping in to say hello. I had a lunch and dinner out today for work, and this should be the last for a while so I'm looking forward to the predictability of making my own meals. I wasn't far off plan, but the sodium..ohhh the sodium, we'll see how that pans out in the morning.

    I hope your weeks are going well, I'm pumped about the James Bond challenge -- I'm going to sort through my pantry tomorrow evening.
