Todo was surprised that our total was really not far off from what it would have been at our normal grocery store!  I was glad he went and that he was impressed!  It helps so much to not be in this alone. 

The boys had a ball, Berylac had a little shopping cart and Olo had a little car and they were running around the store just having a hayday!  Of course we were keeping an eye on them, but it's a small enough

store that they couldn't go too far. 

We did go out to eat for lunch today.  We had a gift certificate for Applebees and we don't get to do that very often, which I realize they don't use organic stuff, but once in a while.......I'm not going to be so strict that we can't eat anywhere but home, but as far as the dairy goes, I'm going to try to avoid any hormone infested milk, cheese, ect.  as much as possible. 

I got my GI diet cookbooks and shopping guide today, so I need to get to studying them now!  I'm excited, from what I've seen so far in the cookbooks, it's really not going to be hard to do at all!

We stopped at DQ on the way home and I got a brownie earthquake, that was major cheating, but I only ate a few bites and put the rest in the freezer, I haven't had sugar for long enough I didn't want to shoke my body and crash. 

Well it's Saturday night and about time to get to bed.  Church tomorrow!
