true story

:: Well, I'm about done done done with white icy stuff that falls from the sky! Schools were closed a few days this week. First we had snow, lots of thick falling snow. Then the sleet fell on top of that. It pretty much shut the town down. Finally today the streets are starting to clear. But alas, we are scheduled to get more this coming week. Ug.

:: Friday after work, Chris and I braved the ice and had dinner at Enchilada Express -- then we headed home and relaxed.

:: Saturday, we went up to the office and did our workouts -- Chris is quite tired of the treadmill! Then we had dinner at Skeets and did the grocery shopping. The rest of our day was relaxing. I scrapbooked five pages in my album for Kasi, and Chris bottled his white merlot. I also made some lemon poppy seed muffins, with

:: Sunday, after church, I dropped Chris off at the office again to do more miles on the treadmill, and I ran errands. I was on the hunt for new luggage -- we threw our other ones away because after being mishandled by the airports for a few years, they were on their last legs. I found some pretty plum suitcases at Target for a decent price. I don't see paying a ton of money for them, when they are just thrown around at the airport. I also stopped at Kohl's and looked around there -- found some cute workout pants and a white cardigan. I picked up Chris, and then headed home to do laundry and do my food prep for the week -- egg muffins for breakfasts, homemade Ranch dressing, and a nut butter (I made it up as I went, so hopefully it will be good!!)

:: Tomorrow, Monday, is my final day of my Whole30! I am feeling great and am excited and ready to move forward with my next phase. Basically, what I am going to follow is this: I will eat healthy, as I have been. I will decide things on a case by case basis and I will use these questions: Is it worth it? Is it special? Do I LOVE it? If yes, I'll enjoy it and then move on back to my healthy foods. I will not schedule CHEAT days or meals -- I will enjoy TREATS when I deem them worth it. Beyond treats, I will bring back: quinoa, honey, dark chocolate.

:: Tonight is the Walking Dead and I can't wait!!!

:: I did some catch up today on the new season of The Voice -- so far so good!

:: Time to make some dinner -- tonight, the family will be having black bean enchiladas...I'll whip up something spontaneous for myself :) I am excited for the guacamole though!
