Today was fantastic! I went out with Amy. I went to her house and we sat there and had a cup of tea and talked, then we left. We went to Walmart, then came back to my apartment, where she met Mew Mew and I took care of a couple of things. After that we went to Swiss Chalet, where we had a fantastic dinner and chatted some more (of course!). We had a meal that was a piece of chicken, a baked potato, a roll and a tomato/cucumber salad, and finished it off with a dessert - strawberry cheesecake! Yum!

At this point we wished we had cameras. We really need to think ahead, really. Whoops!

After that, we went to Starbucks. I haven’t had Starbucks since I lived in Michigan, over two years ago! I had a Chai Tea Latte - it was fabulous! It really tastes like Christmas, if that makes sense. Kinda like gingersnaps. Yum, again!

I weighed myself today. While I’m not going to say what the scale said, I’ll say it was more than I expected, and I need to do something about it. This weight just isn’t healthy, and I need to fix the problem before it gets even worse. Crash diets obviously aren’t working, so I decided to do something more along the lines of a general life change. I’m changing what I snack on - I’m a huge snacker! I also bought a book that Amy recommended, called You: On A Diet. I’ve heard of it before, but haven’t paid much attention to it. Amy says it’s a good book, and that it makes it much easier to understand what’s going on in your body, and how to lose weight. I suppose we’ll see!

We’re supposed to go to the beach on Friday if the weather’s nice enough. I hope it is!
