R5, P2, VLCD 8 - Shiver Me Timbers! (189) = -1lb

(Late post for January 23rd) It is cold around these parts...I mean downright frigid! Winter finally appeared and brought loads of snow. The snow made for slippery, wet conditions as I took my youngest to dance class. I really would have opted to stay home and have her miss but, it's one of the few preplanned girl times that I have.

I've built a nice relationship with some of the dance mommies. We've had lunch together, entertainment nights and we go participate in the girls' birthday parties. Working from home resulted in a loss of socialization and that was so hard for me. Having these ladies to talk to, even if just for an hour on Mondays has been a godsend. It's also given me a reason to go out more.

With all the weight I put on during the holidays, I don't want to buy big-girl clothes. I've got tons of cute, little clothes (some I've never even worn) to wear out with the girls. I'm really staying focused on things like this to keep me going with the protocol. Here's what I had on Monday:
