Blog Neglecter! That's me. I've had a busy week but did manage to enjoy a great Wed. off and while I meant to sleep until 3pm, my back wouldn't let me. Funny how we could sleep forever when we were young. I miss those days.
I took several walks this week and instead of walking around Strawberry Lake every time, I've walked the 'hill". It makes my bum feel like I've completed at least 30 minutes on a stair-stepper. Seriously, it doesn't look like a big hill but my bum tells a different story.
I made it my two weeks of juicing, except Wed night I had hormone free chicken and asparagus. I grilled the chicken with lots of oregeno, Italian seasoning and balsamic and the quick mix tasted really good. I made a awesome salad Thursday night with the left over chicken (and there was a lot because I couldn't eat too much). I did have juice for lunch and breakfast both those days. Friday came, my 15th day and I didn't juice all day. I was just sick of fruits and veggie juice. I managed an orange and a few strawberries for lunch. For dinner, we went to Spiro's and I searched and searched the menu for something both gluten free and soy free. Finally, the waitress assured me their rice noodles were indeed rice (funny how I trust nobody) and I had a wonderful Asian veggie noodle combo. The snap peas were so fresh and crunchy. It was a wonderful wonderful meal...until....
Yes, I got to Walmart after dinner and RAN to the restroom. I mean, RAN! I guess my tummy wasn't ready for that wonderful dinner. Sigh.
I proceeded to shop at Wallyworld for gluten, soy & dairy free products and um not so lucky. I found a few things but all of which mean cooking. I mean, Wallyworld doesn't even carry Red Mill products. Why? I'm sure that I'm not the only person searching for gluten free products.
Today was the real test. Baby shower. Loads and loads of yummy food. Luckily I have nearly 1/2 of my dinner from last night and finished that before going to the shower. Of course, I ate the fruit and veggies and drank lots of water. However, I had to wipe away tears when it came to saying "no" to the Andrea's Sweet Designs cake. Oh god, how I love her cakes. Almond cake with raspberry filling and the best BEST icing ever. Yummmmmmm.....and of course I said ...."no".
I should be proud but I'm kinda kicking myself in the ass. It's not like I can eat Andrea's cake that often.....puhlease..will somebody get married soon and have Andrea's cake??? Pretty please?
After the shower today, I did find gluten free pancake mix and requested that Mark make me some for Mother's Day tomorrow. I've been craving pancakes. The only problem, I don't really have a natural maple syrup on hand. Sigh...guess I will just spread some almond butter on those babies.....
