Temptations!

Alright, I have a confession to make - NO!  I did not eat a piece of bread - but I am afraid I might have gotten myself in a little over my head.  Seriously...this blog is about me!?  I am not that interesting!  I was sitting here, fingertips on keyboard...with a blank mind.  Moments before I realized I had a serious case of "writer's block," I was bragging to my mom that my blog was going to be so amazing I might just want to quit my job now and become a stay at home blogger.  (It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?)  Now, I'm having second thoughts.  I'm not sure my stay at home blog would thrive with only one follower.  And we all know who that would be...my mother. 

Moving on!  Yesterday morning came all too early (as it always does...I hate waking up at 5am).  I stumbled out of bed, showered and got ready, and headed downstairs for breakfast.  I walked into the kitchen and looked around...homemade scones!  Err...pretty sure those have wheat, dairy, AND sugar...let's try the fridge...chocolate milk!  I'm proud to say that I resisted these temptations and settled for a lovely bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and raspberries.  For lunch I heated up my quinoa and had some chicken with it (it was great!). 

After work my lovely running partner, Brittany, met me at the gym.  We had a quick, but efficient, workout.  I love my runs and workouts with Britt.  We definitely get our sweat on, but it's also a great therapy session.  Between the two of us, there is always plenty to talk about.  I am so lucky to have a running buddy that can keep going like the energizer bunny, but I'm even luckier that she is a wise woman with great advice!  Love that girl.  :)  Dinner was simple, but delicious!  Pork, salad, and wonderful sweet corn!

Today I realized that I need to have some healthy snack options.  After I took the new "CORE" class at the gym (it was a killer thirty minute ab workout in which I was literally dripping sweat on my bench...I'm not one of those girls who "glistens"), my mom and I got pedicures, then went to Freddie's to pick up a few things.  Let me just say, it's hard to shop when on this nutrition plan!  Even in the "health food/gluten free/organic aisle"!  My mom and I were both laughing at how almost every item I picked up...I couldn't eat.  I did have some success though, and I'm actually excited about what I got....

Tomorrow is Bekah and Eleazar's wedding rehearsal/dinner and then on Friday they're getting married!!  You guys might have to cut me a little slack on the nutrition for their wedding dinner...but I'll do my best!  It's going to be a fun weekend...I can tell!  I just have to keep busy, and stay on track.  :)

I still need to pursue the volunteer thing, and get into a daily routine for reading my Bible.  Does anyone have suggestions for either of these things?  Where to volunteer?  What's your favorite book in the Bible?  I love hearing from you guys!  ((Shout out to my momma!))  ;)

Sincerely,
The Stay at Home Blogger
