Oh My Aching Feet...

Today I did what I avoid doing the rest of the year. I went shopping. I hate mall, avoid them at all costs but if I have to go to a mall I go to my favorite mall of all...The Forum. It's an outdoor mall so I don't get claustrophobic like I do at the regular mall. One of the nice things about outdoor malls is that when the weather is a little nippy (only a little, mind you) it makes you walk faster. I went into every store there and when I was done I walked (not drove) back down to Atlanta Bread Company even though it meant that I would have to make a round trip back to the other end of the mall. (I love their soup!!) And if that wasn't enough I stopped at two different craft fairs on the way home - which meant even more walking.

Lots of walking today, but guess what?? I didn't buy one present!!! I only have to buy for the gals at work, but I refuse to buy yet another ornament, mug, candle or soap and/or soap dish! I'm going to try my favorite store tomorrow to see if there is anything unique there that is within my budget.

Oh, and I'm full!!! I ate a little more protein today than I normally would so I'm stuffed to the gills. I've still got some calories left over so I may give myself a treat (I bought a box of the Cocoa Via almond bars!) later on IF I'm not feeling so full later one.

And more good news. I'm down .2 which isn't much but it's encouraging.
