Busy

Okay, I'm more tired than I expected to be at 9:30 at night.  Granted Dave and I have been going all day so I guess it's alright.  Really though I just want to go to sleep.  I should force myself to make the lunches for tomorrow but I feel like at any moment, I'm going to fall asleep just sitting here.  So this will be quick.  We did accomplish just about everything we set out to do today (except making our lunches for tomorrow).

We stopped by Feissal and Becky's new home and we fell in love with it.  Sure, it needs work.  They've done a lot already and there's still a lot more to go but I loved it.  When they've done everything they want to do, it will be even better.  I can't say enough good things about it.  It's got character, an enormous basement, and is super cute.  I want one.  So does Dave but alas, that will have to wait.

From there we went to Ikea which was super close by, walked through all the showrooms because I love doing that, and then walked downstairs to pick up what we needed.  Both of us were tired by the time we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse (hey, we had to indulge before we begin the most challenging diet ever). I missed a phone call from Katie but it's late now and I'll have to call her back tomorrow.  On the drive home, I ended up passing out.

Finally we stopped at the grocery store and spent $140!  Yikes!  Still, we will not being getting take out for a while so it will be have to do.  Actually doing the grocery shopping made it more of a reality.  We will really not be eating any carbs for the next 17 days.  Holy crap.  Lots of fruits, healthy protein, veggies, and yogurt will be ingested instead.  I am very excited by it all.  Dave is going to wake me up tomorrow for breakfast so it's good to be getting started as I can't wait to see the results.

I especially can't wait after taking the most horrific "before" photos ever.  I mean, I knew I had put on the pounds.  I knew I had outgrown my clothing.  I knew that my belly has shown underneath the clothing.  The photos though, that's a whole different story.  Sure, I stripped down to a bra and boy shorts that look like a bathing suit so it shows off everything but my word.  I am so glad that we are doing this.  We also got the WiiFit back out to begin our measuring our goals on a daily basis.  Really, I'm super excited.

Now though, I need to sleep.
