When we woke up Friday morning this is what we saw. It was like Christmas morning. I jumped out of bed and Lola and I went outside. I was so excited to see what she would do because this was all very new to her. She would pick up her paws at first but when she saw that her dogie friends were out she went CRAZY!!! They ran and ran and ran. It was a nice relaxing day of doing nothing and I am proud to say that I did not get out of my pajamas. Poor Nathan got up at normal time 5am and went to work. He did bring Chick fil la home for lunch. He is the greatest!!!
(I can't figure out how to move these pics, I am still learning how to do all of this)
For the last month I have been trying out the Paleo diet. I started this because the gym where I work out was encouraging to try for a month. They provided meals for the week and most importantly a grocery list. It made it so easy. Nathan was not excited but he survived. One of my favorite things that I made from the month were these Carrot Banana Muffins. During the month my breakfast consisted of eggs, meat and veggies. I was craving something sweet in the mornings and I felt like I was cheating when I ate these. SO YUMMY and there is no added sugar!!!
