Hey all!

We're just about to leave for the hospital, so wish me luck! Those 3 weeks of Opti went by way quicker than I expected.

I'm super proud of myself for not cheating at all, and it's made me more confident that I can pull this off. Gotta say though, I am SO excited for this to be done so I can eat something other than shakes, broth, and jello. XD I've been okay so far because I was doing my best to focus on what I -could- eat rather than what I couldn't, which has been a big help. So as long as I keep that mindset I think I'll be alright.

See you all soon!
