One Hectic Day

Hey All! Happy Tuesday! I seriously felt like I was running around crazy today. Cole's car was in the shop so between running him everywhere and going to class and work, the day was a little hectic. But it ended great and peacfully. My sister is in town so my mom, sister, and I took a little trip up to the I.F. temple. It was the perfect ending to the hectic day!

Well I have day 2 in the bag!! So far so good. Exercise in check and diet in check. Today was cardio and for not doing cardio for a few weeks it felt pretty good.

MEAL ONE - 9:00 am

Chocolate Protein Oats. Not gonna lie, there was something not right with this. I think that the vanilla protein powder would have been better to use with the oatmeal. We used oats, skim milk, 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, cinnamon, and a little bit of brown sugar. hmmm? We couldn't put our finger on it what else it needed. Maybe some walnuts would be good.

MEAL TWO - 11:00 am

2 string cheeses, nuts, and 1/2 banana. I literally ate this meal as I walked to class.

MEAL THREE - 12:15 pm

Tuna Fish on whole wheat black bread. I know it was only an hour and a half, but it was the only time I had to eat. I had to eat it in the car on the way to pick up Cole and take him to class.

MEAL FOUR - 4:00 pm

Cottage cheese and yogurt. Mixing cottage cheese with yogurt is the only way I can eat cottage cheese. Otherwise it just grosses me out...those little curds, bleh.

MEAL FIVE - 7:15 pm

Temple food. Chicken, green beans, and a salad. I did good. I could've gotten mashed potatoes and gravy, but I substituted it for a small salad. My mom and sister were trying to tempt me with their pecan pie and apple pie, but I didn't give in.

We snapped a picture outside the temple. It was such a pretty evening. The flowers at the temple are always so gorgeous especially tonight.

There was a beautiful sunset on the way home too. Like I said, a perfect ending to a hectic day!

MEAL SIX - 9:30 pm

Protein shake w/ 1 TB of PB. Once again, no pic. I'll get better at it.

I have to say that I feel like the Lord tells me he loves me all the time through the beauty of the earth. The night was so beautiful driving home and I felt so peaceful after going to the temple and spending time with my sister and my mom! Another great day of BFL. Keep it comin' Cic!
