i woke up at 6 am this morning, and my house was silent.   I lay in bed and try to peacefully enjoy every moment alone with my thoughts.  I realize it is now 6:30 and I still have a sleeping 3 year old!    I get up to this sight……

 

It is a peaceful rainy morning!!!!  Love!!!!  It is still so dark, no wonder no one is up yet.  I take advantage of the silence and go down stairs and have some coffee all alone!! Amazing.  I even get to watch a little cnn.  I haven’t watched the news in forever.  Shit you know you are old when cnn is a great way to start the morning.  Monday’s are usually days London and I spend together, but because it was so rainy we decided she would have more fun with her friends at school.   So after I dropped her off, the rain was making me dream of all kinds of comfort foods.

And 

so pulled up to a rainy Harris tetter

And I had full intentions of making my food dreams a reality.  But while I was walking around in there I came to my sense and made a more practical choice and got trail mix instead.   It was much more satisfying then I even expected.   So I went home layed in the couch with my trail mix and watched the sopranos.  The more I layed there, the worse I wanted to be.  So I had to get up,  I did the laundry,  I did the beds, and then returned to the couch.  The couch is a toxic place fore me.  As soon as I sit and watch anything, I want to eat!!!  So I texted a my friend and co worker Cara and asked for a haircut!  I have been wanting to cut my hair for a while.  She was up for the task!  So I ran to the gym, and did a two mile run.  That felt good,  considering I almost had a cupcake attack this morning!!!  After that I went to the salon and made all my dreams a reality!

And then I took It a step further,  just because I love pic stitch

So fun.  Now to make a healthy dinner.

basil chicken , mushrooms and asparagus!

  

Finish product!!!

Simple and delicious.

Brandon seemed to really like this meal too!  I have to say, this is the first time in a long time that I have not given into my food cravings.  Like the strong kind, that you know are soo bad.  Expecially when I have been doing so well.  Don’t want to mess up  this good streak I  on!   The growth that is going on inside is stronger then the loss on the outside!  Hopefully tomorrow won’t be as challenging!! Love you guys!!
