Yesterday was crazy! I was gone most of the time. While I snapped a few pics, for santy’s sake, I’m going to skip it and start in with today.

Breakfast: Bran flakes, almond milk and strawberries.

Snack 1: Greek Yogurt choclate mousse made with stevia and half a pomagranate. I didn’t stir them together because the pom is so lovely I wanted to taste it in it’s pure form.

My brother-in-law is a master carpenter and is hanging my dining room trim today.

I love how it is shaping up! I’m off to the grocery store to stock up with some amazing preholiday sales.

Lunch: Apple, cranberry, sunflower seed Spinach salad. I found a packet of restaurant raspberry dressing, so used that. It is fat free and had a great ingredient list on the back that will help me make my own recipe.

I need to grab some red wine vinegar first, and bummer, I was JUST at the store. I’ll go back tomorrow though to get some one day specials and grab another round of good deals that were limited on the quantities they would let me buy.

I had some upsetting news this afternoon. Not something I want to talk about, but it definitely took my appetite away. The only thing I could do to cope was strap on my running shoes and hit the pavement. Heidi and Darren watched the kids for me so I could work things out. I would run hard and then take a break to walk and all of a sudden find myself running again. I couldn’t tell you how long ago I started running. My mind was racing, looking for solutions, praying. And when I got home I was completely spent and felt as good as if I had given into a long cry. So I skipped my afternooon and evening snacks.

Dinner was one taco with grass fed ground beef from Darren’s parents.

It was delicious!
