Great Day


Yesterday was a great day! Thank goodness for healing.

I cleaned up the house a bunch before jumping in the shower and then heading out to run errands. I got a new library card, a pot for our tomato plant, and went to the health food store.

When I got home, I made oatmeal cookies because Kev and I planned to try out our new ice cream maker by making oatmeal cookie ice cream!
I ate a TON of the dough! It was some of the best cookie dough ever! After putting the dough in the fridge to chill, I started on dinner: Coconut Curry Tofu from allrecipes.com. By the time I finished, we had put in one batch of cookies, and they turned out well! The first batch was a tad overcooked, but the second was juuuuuusssst right.

Since I was full on cookie dough (hehe) I had a very small helping of dinner. It was pretty good, but it needs more spices: more chili sauce, and more soy sauce, I think. We ate dinner on the patio - it was a beautiful night with a fantastic sunset.
During dinner, we had our ice cream maker running, but after waiting awhile, we realized it wasn't freezing it enough. I read the instructions and saw that we're actually supposed to freeze the freezer thing for at least 6 hours (we probably froze it 3). Bummer! We decided to stop and wait til tonight to have our ice cream. I had one more cookie! :-o

Because of that splurge, I knew I needed a sweaty workout session today. I got there early than usual (9:50 or so) and someone was on the treadmill, so I did 20 minutes on the elliptical, and then 40 minutes on the treadmill. On the elliptical, I went about a level 7 the whole time, going backward for 2 minutes every 3 minutes. On the treadmill, I went at a level 6, doing an all-out sprint every few minutes for 20-40 seconds (10 total sprints). It was fun, but my body is super tired now! I'm going to definitely need that tofu for lunch!

Oh! I forgot breakfast. I had a latte with a little sugar and triple berry crunch granola with a little Greek yogurt, vanilla flavored. Yummy!

Then, guess what I had as a snack? A sorta large helping of cookie dough! Uh oh! That's all the cookie dough I get for today! Especially because we're having ice cream tonight! I think I'll be scheduling a sweat session Saturday morning! :)

Plans for today....

Physical: insane workout
Mental: organize extra room, write thank-you notes; pick recreation stuff I want to do in our Ventura booklet thing
Emotional: call Meredith; upload wedding photos!
Spiritual: write in my journal!
