WOO FREAKIN HOO! I'll take it!

Yesterday's menu was in no particular schedule, 1/2 pink grapefruit, chicken in marinara sauce, strawberry smoothie, cucumber with dill and acv, lemon pepper flounder, 2 melba rounds. I also had 1 semi sweet chocolate chip... not a whole cookie, just a chip. It was gooood :) I calculated that it was 2 calories.

I had a GREAT day yesterday. I had my chocolate chip in the morning so I had time to burn it off. Then DH told me to put on some sweatpants over some shorts and get in the car. He had me drive towards a main street in our area and when we got close, I figured out that he was going to get me a tattoo for my birthday. I've been talking about getting a tattoo for years, but have been chickening out all that time. Quickly, my mind went to all the reasons why I couldn't get the tattoo today (was chickening out again). Oh yeah... I said "Don't I have to put neosporin on the tattoo for a few days afterwards?" That was it! My out clause! "I can't do that right now honey, but what a wonderful thought!" Whew! That was a close one. He was kinda disappointed because he had really put some thought into getting me something that wasn't food. Don't get me wrong, I really want the tattoo. I've had it picked out for over a year, and I know exactly where I want it, upper right outside thigh. So I'm going to get myself mentally prepared and get the tattoo during my break in march. That'll be better anyway because there will be less of my thigh to put it on...LOL.

After we got home I went to the spa and had an acne treatment facial with a pedicure. She gave me a nice mini massage with oil free lotion, but they put regular lotion on my legs for the pedicure. I didn't really care by that time. I was way too relaxed by then. I had some tea with sweet and low while getting my pedicure. They brought me cookies as well, which I put in my purse to take home to DH. Then I went over to my regular salon to get my nails and toes painted because they're good at designs. Check this out. The pic is clickable to see a larger view.

After that, I came home and DH had another gift for me. He got me a 30 gig Zune mp3 player. I had been eyeing that for a while. So now I can join the rest of the modern world and stop using a cd player! I just found a great website http://www.uniqueskins.com/ where you can get personalized skins for handheld devices for a really good price. So I'm gonna go try that out. Plus I have to get ready for folks to come over this afternoon.

In response to yesterday's comments.

I posted pictures on VLCD Day 13. There is a promo code on the hcg boards. I can't remember what it is right now. Do a search on the hcg2 group for "tammy coupon code". That should bring it up.

Mary - Thanks, but I am sooo happy with 35. I'm claiming it cus I
look GOOOD :) Girl... whatever you're into, gets you a guy that's into that too so hang around places where there are guys that are into the stuff you like & make

Ed & Jennifer - YAY 60s & lovin it! Lower 60s is just around the corner.

awesome!
