$5.00
WHAT! No I didn't leave a zero out. There is no typo. I didn't mean $50.00. I meant $5.00
The Shoe Dept in our mall was having a sale and I got five pair of shoes for $87! And to make it even better, I normally have a hard time finding shoes I like AND fit me right. So not only did I find 5 pair I liked, but all at an awesome price. Life is good.
So, on the band front, I got my fill a week ago and think I have some restriction. I'm pretty happy considering I wasn't expecting much from this first fill. It seems that bandsters (and pre-bandsters) have different versions of what restriction should be. LDswims talks about fills and restriction in this post and I think what she says makes a lot of sense. To be honest, I did think I wanted the band to restrict what I ate, but after reading Lori's post, I realize that what I have now is the better way to go.
The next step in my journey is to get exercise into the mix. I joined the Chica Challenge, but haven't done much about it as of yet. My daughters and I are going for a walk tomorrow. I know it's not running a marathon, but it's a start.
Lastly, if any newbies haven't found Band Groupie's Blog at The Sweet Spot, you definitely need to become a follower and read her old posts. She has so much great info that she's in the process of putting it all into a book.
Hope you all are having a good week.

HOT! Love them!
