I started off with my vitamins, some water, and a wildberry yogurt drink in the blender with water and lots of ice. Not half bad! And it filled me too.
I have today off so I'll be prepping my veggies for the week and portioning my meats. I'm also going to brew a big jug of iced tea to keep in the fridge and clean the kitchen.
well done anna!!! you are off to a fabulous start!! you will not regret this choice!!!!

In other news, a friend and colleague at work signed up for IP and is starting tomorrow. I'm so happy for him! He's quite a big guy and I really hope that this will be the program that makes the difference. He said it was seeing me lose the weight and seeing pictures of my transformed husband that finally compelled him to do something about it. Pretty cool, actually. This makes him person number six (in five different cities!!) that have started Ideal Protein because they've heard about it from me or have seen my progress pics on Facebook. Makes my heart smile to see others learning about IP and the difference it can make!!
this made me laugh so hard....because DH just said to me the other day, ummm love, i think its time you get some new panties!!! and i never realized how big my undies had become!!!
well....JUST LOOK AT YOU!!! its NO WONDER that everyone who sees your amazing journey doesn't want to know your "secret"!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have watched the macy's thanksgiving day parade on tv for years and years and always thought...how much fun it might be in person!!! i might not make it this year....but one year i will!! i looked into some prices and wow the hotels are pricey!!! thought about a bus tour and let someone else do the driving...a bit pricey too....but i will keep searching!!!
sorry about you having to have foot surgery....thats no fun!! praying all goes well!
