I drove to Tyler today to do a little shopping.  I don't think I've ever gone by myself before.

I went to Academy and nabbed a purse on sale.  It's the smaller version of that purse in the same print. Think it'll be good for traveling.  At Marshall's I got a raccoon toy for Bailey, and a New Balance sports bra for myself.  Oh, and some Mango Ginger chews.  At Ross it was a baking sheet, a pair of sweat pants, and a cute yellow top.  Then on to the mall.

The whole mission of this trip was to find a dress to wear for my show in NYC next week.  Well.  I found a beautiful dress at Marshall's.  Talked myself out of it because I keep thinking about thigh chafing and being in the city all day long.  So instead I decided to find a top to wear with some really comfortable, nice deep aquamarine linen pants I have.  I didn't find one.  I found three.  Well, three "looks."  I found a nice black peasant top with smocked bust.  Then there's a white tank top with a smocked top and a scalloped bottom made from large eyelet--but it makes two looks because I got an ocean blue cardigan and a grass green cardigan.  I could go either way.  Or, all three.  Likely?  I think I'll wear the green and pack the black to bring along...so if I spill...I'm still safe.

Good thing is that I can wear all of those things in other combinations and they can all still be worn as I get smaller.  Which I WILL DO DAMNIT.

Ahem.

Then to the fancy grocery store.  I think it's the only one of its particular variety.  Called "Fresh" it's of the Brookshire's chain.  It's like Whole Foods meets Kroger.  I spent the most money there.  I got soy pudding, coconut yogurt, dairy-free chocolate, and nice stock of other fun things that are all dairy free.

I'm feeling okay today.  I have a headache tonight, but blame driving in the heat.

A little gassy, but not terrible.  Also feel a little bloated, but WAY better than yesterday.

Total rest day as far as exercise goes.  Might try to run in the morning depending on how I feel when I wake up.

Woke up starving at 3am.  Had 1 cup Fiber One with almond milk.

1 Umpqua Not Guilty Oatmeal

1 Jason's Deli chicken salad sandwich on French Bread (no dairy) with potato chips (only ate half chips)

Mediumish salad with lettuce, tomatoes, chicken, and Thousand Island

Will likely have a coconut yogurt before I go to bed.  Not enough veggies, but otherwise not a half bad day.
