Yesterday, I awakened from a very deep sleep, very rudely, by my alarm clock. Wake up Shawna! Stop dreaming Shawna! Time to start the day Shawna! After pressing snooze several times, it was time to drag myself away from the soft warm blankets and begin my battle with bread, uggh. Only once I got going I realized there was really no battle to be had. Sure bread was still staring me down every time I opened the cupboard, but there seems to be a respectful tolerance growing between us. A silent deal that we can coexist. Maybe bread is not the devil after all. We shall see, I reserve the right to change my mind at any point.
I am pretty dependant on coffee, so on the way home from taking my girl to school I stopped at Starbucks. I decided to change my order from the usual, grande, soy, 1.5 pump caramel macchiato, to a hazelnut macchiato (I was feeling adventurous). They accidentally put milk in it instead of soy, I asked them to change it, and when I got home it was dairy again! Very upsetting and not cool Starbucks! Don't you know I am turning a leaf and eating better now?!?! Why are you sabotaging me?!?! Very "victim" of me, I know, but seriously what's up with that? It couldn't be the Universe telling me that it's time to give up Starbucks...No, the Universe loves me too much to do such a thing (The situation was later remedied with 2 free drinks, as they do have excellent customer service).
After my short drama with Starbucks played out, the day was actually pretty relaxing. I had a great workout in the morning and found the resolve to ignore my chores and just play with my little guy for a bit. After all, I was pretty certain the chores would still be there when I was ready to tackle them, and if they weren't...BONUS!
By mid-afternoon, I had a fairly bad headache, which felt hormonal, but could totally have been withdrawals from gluten. Nothing a little Advil Migraine couldn't handle (have you tried that stuff? It is like MAGIC!). Once my headache dissipated, the dishes were starting to heckle me, so I did them up after doing a little reading for school.
All of the relaxing led up to an impromptu night out to dinner and the movies with the fam. We had a nice meal at Fishbones and the complimentary bread that came out before dinner managed to behave itself. It didn't even look at me, I was surprised! We saw The Croods, which was hilarious. And who goes to the movies without pop, candy, and popcorn - not us! It just wouldn't be right without a bellyache. So what I ate follows....I'm thinking that maybe I will need to work on reducing the sugar eventually. But, not now. One villain at a time please.
