Oh Sweet Temptations!

Yes, I caved!  I have this awful river of sweet-loving temptation that flows through my veins.  I was doing so well ( Mon-Tues) when it hit me on the back of the head and I caved into baking cookies.  Luck would have it....I was out of vanilla extract and substituted with almond extract.  I also used almond milk rather than cow's milk.  Let's just say that they were not exactly what I was hoping for and they are not so tempting now!  Saved by the "I-can't-cook" bell again!

The good news....I am out of refined sugar and will not replenish!  I also finished "Skinny Bitch."  That was one hard read!  I honestly had to skim through a lot of the slaughter house part.  I realize being a farm gal, what goes on to get meat to my table but this was too much.  If you are not a vegan for health reasons alone, do it for humane reasons!  I am inching closer. All vegan so far today!

Last soda was Sunday.  Not replenishing those either!  I am not a soda junkie but one is too many when you consider the chemicals.  I actually love water and tea so no real struggle on this one.  Coffee...GET-YOUR-MITTS-OFF! No how-no way am I ready to give this one up! Move on to the next item on the list!

Dog and I did our 1.5 mile walk this morning but had to cut our evening walk in half.  Started out with a little mist...hat....check!  Before long it started to come down harder and less than a mile later we both were soaked and cold.  Time for hot tea, snuggie and my two cuddle buddies.

Oh...before I forget! I did watch the DVD sent by BKD of Fast and Furious.  Not sure if I can do all that jumping around yet but the instructor is a little hottie and worth watching!!  I promise to give my honest assessment of my performance once I get out of the chair and lace up the tennies.

  1. Sounds like three steps forward, and only one step back, so pat yourself on the back!
