Day 16

Weighed in today at 217.8lbs! its nice to see some kind of drop now. I went to Trader Joes today to get some stuff for my mom and i, and i have to say it was fun! I have never shopped there with the intention of getting really healthy foods, so it was a breath of fresh air. Great produce and so many other things that i can't eat, yet, but will be able too once i reintroduce starches and sugars and carbs into my diet.
My mom is having some gas/colon problems as of late and she's trying to change her diet to be healthier and by eating gluten and dairy free. She obviously won't only eat gluten and dairy free since thats very difficult but i'm proud of her for wanting to make a change. I think that maybe God gave her these unbearable gas problems (that seriously last all day and hurt her immensely) so that she could finally get the gumption to finally change her lifestyle.
Still feeling good and going strong. Even wanting to exercise now! I'm excited to exercise in the future because the more i work out, the more i can eat and let's face it, i love LOVE food!
Miss A gave me some "Miracle Noodles" to try, i haven't tried them yet but they seem cool! They're 0 calories, gluten and dairy free, made of a japanese plant. I've heard the consistency is kind of weird but i think by the time i finish this diet, the lack of real noodles in my life will make me forget the difference.
I went to Miss A's party last night and really didn't have a problem not drinking. I had a lot of fun conversing and hanging out with good friends and i didn't feel left out or weird sitting there sipping on my coffee and eating strawberries and an apple. It was hard watching people eat delicious snacks but it wasn't anything i couldn't handle. I even got a red cup and filled it with water to drink instead of alcohol so i blended a little more. LOL :) My friend Sarah told me i looked happy, content and practically glowing! I definitely feel happier as a whole and i'm much more content and optimistic. I look at it as, i took the time to get to know myself and work on my interior, now that i feel confident and content in that aspect, i'm working on my exterior to match!
Bought some filet beef to try for the first time in weeks so i'll give you a report of how it goes when i make/eat it in a few days. I'm a little nervous i might gain but i'm going to make sure to cut all the fat off and eat the right amount. It will be nice to eat red meat for the first time in a while! Plus, Trader Joe's meat selection is way cheaper than Safeway so i felt better buying it there. Trader Joe's is definitely becoming a new favorite!

Till Tomorrow..
