Note: My 26th birthday is in….. ONE MONTH. holy smokes !!! am I REALLY getting close to being 30? I wanna be smokin’ hot and fit BEFORE I’m 30, but I’m hoping to be able to say I accomplished that maybe late this year?… or early 2013?! I believe in it. :] I will make it happen.

So, just a few days ago we were facing really cold temps and today? It got almost to 70 degrees, and it’s supposed to storm in the morning. Roller coaster! I’m ready for spring and summer <3

accomplishments of the day:
– up to 3/6 pages on my college paper, jogged a ‘lil on the treadmill + rode a few on the bike, fixed my hair & got it to behave!, a little time put aside this evening for scripture study <3 I’m DETERMINED to work on my spiritual side again –

This evening after my turkey/veggie dinner bowl, we headed to WHOLE FOODS! so I could pick up a few things. I’m gonna cut out fruit (for now), plus yogurt – the kind I was using had quite a bit of sugar. I got a coconut cream pie Larabar, an almond coconut Kind bar, almond BUTTAH, a Kombucha to drink on the way home, and Brad got a few things. After we got back, I watched the latest BIGGEST LOSER! Drama, drama. I really like Emily & Cassandra!

My paleo-ish way of eating is still going well! All except I haven’t been able to use the bathroom for a few days, so I’m gonna try some warm lemon water in the morning to see if that’ll help me along. I know my body is adjusting to a much lower amount of fiber. I’m still getting fiber, just not anymore fiber from grains and that helped me before, but I’m grain-free to try to help my autoimmune condition. I’m taking a powdered fiber supplement that has probiotics & stuff in it to help heal the gut, so I was hoping that would help me, but I used to overeat grains so I know it’s a dramatic drop that my body will have to get used to. I’m excited to see how I will be doing in about a month and once my body starts using the healthy fats as fuel then I should be burning it off!!!

Listening to Nickelback… bout to fiddle on tumblr then get ready for THURSDAY! Gonna work on my college paper and soak up another day of life. I’m thankful. I know I can do anything I set my mind to and I am one determined girl. :] <333
