I am on #12 for the day. 12 down, 88 more to go.

On the up side, only 15 cal each!

Did you know the old factory for these was in Riverside, right near my place? No wonder I am loving them right now-

p.s.!

Last night, Faisal helped me make a mango sorbet with some pineapple juice, coconut milk, lime juice, and organic cane sugar. Most of it was chopped over ripe mangoes that we found at Stater Bro's while I was getting other things.

I wish I had pictures for y'all but it keeps going too fast!

my night

work was long and hurt my back (I can't sit in a chair all day long at all- scoliosis, ADD, um..too much going on- ouch)

school- math test- ehhh...easier than I thought but I forgot 2 VERY SIMPLE formulas that automatically made my grade at least a B, and I bet I didn't ace it anyway-

yoga- REALLY GOOD

after yoga- AMAZING workout, relational time with a gal from my class struggling in her own diet, and a five minute sesh with my acupuncturist

BEFORE yoga- I made home made sorbet with pineapple, cherries, and coconut milk. I added blue agave syrup as a sweetener, and some lime juice...which brings me to now.

YUM


shower time and today is gonna happen all over again tomorrow, sans the math test

updates!

Hey everyone! Here's three big updates for me-

1- I start my new job tomorrow and am in service all week long with meetings, orientations, first-aid, CPR, and room cleaning. Yup- a real teacher (kind of)!

2- I start a new small group this Wednesday with people in the outreach area of Sandals. I am not officially resigning from my small group, but checking this one out a few times. It kind of just fell into my lap serendipitously as I was getting an article for an art function going. BUT, I am excited- God works in some cool ways!

3- I am meeting with a rep from PIBC (Pacific Islands Bible College) in LA this October to discuss some things regarding me working there next year. Yup- a year from now, I would be in the Pacific Islands (and prob. NOT Guam but close!) If this goes as we hope it does, I will start fund raising, letter writing, and preparing for a really cool trip. If it does not go how we are all hoping for, I am keeping the Peace Corps and Thailand on the table. Well, Thailand is always on the table- for the rest of my life. I was there last year at this time, and am missing it a lot right now. It will work its way into my trips.

ANYWAY- those are my three huge things. Please pray for me!!

one year ago

I am sad, this one year anniversary has HIT me.

being Christian

Being a Christian has brought so many blessings into my life- especially after joining Sandals church. I have been feeling sick all week and almost opted out of small group tonight, until I went at the last minute.

I am so glad I did- I need God in big ways right now.

Life is

Last week, I bought new shoes and shorts at Lady Foot Locker. The minute I get home and jump on line, I have a $15 dollar off and $20 dollar off coupon from them in my inbox.
I have NEVER received coupons in my email from Lady Foot Locker- and I already spent my money


Today, I got a cookie from Subway (yup- cheating on the diet, whatever, it was amazing). I usually don't get cookies. I had this strange feeling that I should peel off the sticker from my drink to see if I won anything, but I didn't. I get home, and win 1 free cookie.
What the heck?




OH, some good updates on http://melting4life.blogspot.com - makes me re think that cookie!
