Yesterday was super busy.  Getting menus out; swimming lessons; helping Darren get ready for a camp out; babysitting 12 kids and fixing their dinner.  Stuff like that.  I fell into bed after it was over and decided to post about yesterday this morning.

I’ve been able to get up at 6:30 every week day morning and get my scriptures read.  That makes a positive difference to how my day goes and how I feel about things.

Breakfast:  Fit and Active Protein cereal from Aldi with hemp seeds; almond milk and a bit of stevia.  I’m not sure if this cereal is on plan or not.  It had the best nutrition I could find in a cereal and it tastes terrible :).  But in a hurry it satisfies and stevia makes the taste a lot better.

I was supposed to work out with my friend Pam at 7:30 am at my house.  She came over and I didn’t hear her!  I was busy working on my menus and poor thing had quite an awkward moment standing in my foyer in the dark wondering if I was expecting her after all or if she was breaking and entering.  Poor thing!  I will be much more attentive from now on.  So neither of us worked out in the morning, but I did get my FYM work out in at 7pm last night.  More on that in a bit.

Morning Snack: 1 homemade protein bar. I had planned to eat an apple with my snack for the produce, but I bit into it on the way to the car to pick up my girls from swimming lessons and it was rotten!  It looked beautiful on the outside, but ewwww on the inside!  Maybe that was my morning lesson from the Holy Spirit.  “1Tim4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” It’s no good to be amazing on the outside if inside I’m rotten to the core.

Lunch: 1 spinach basil tortilla with deli turkey and lettuce.  I tried to eat a nectarine with it too, but 3/4 of it was bruised.  The fourth I did eat had no flavor.  I’m sure there is a lesson in there too.  The fruit was a gift from my neighbor…long story.  I will have to cut everything carefully and use it creatively.  But it was a welcome sight since I hadn’t been to the grocery store in over 2 weeks.  Right after lunch, Grant and I headed to Costco to refresh our carrots and Greek Yogurt.  But I’ll need to go to Aldi today to get the bulk of our produce.  I’ve found Costco’s produce prices to be pretty high on most things.

Afternoon Snack:  Carrots and hummus (oh it tasted so good to have fresh produce again!) And I did taste test 3 thing at Costco.  Multigrain nuggets–it was more like a cookie, but I thought it looked like a big granola bite.  A skinny cow wafer; and a piece of Italian chicken sausage–yum!

For dinner I made a low carb pizza with a whole wheat Ole tortilla topped with marinara; turkey sausage; onion and 1 oz of mozzarella cheese.

I waited an hour after dinner and made a workout shake. It is super sweet tasting so I doubled the recommended liquid with it, which made it taste perfect and last a bunch longer :). I sipped it while I did Holly’s June A workout of the month.  That one is super hard!  I only have a 10lb kettlebell so  switched it out for a 25 lb dumbbell for my swings.  I couldn’t keep a grip on it with just one hand so did 2 hand swings for the whole thing.  My backside is super tender today.  Yay for more muscles.  I was surprised how much easier the workout was Friday than it was Monday.  Our bodies change and adapt quickly.
