Pesto on Sourdough

So, because my daughter kept me up for most of the night, my husband took her and let me sleep in this morning. However, it wasn't 15 minutes into my snooze when I heard a thud, Samantha crying and JD swearing and of course, I get out of bed to take care of her. She is learning how to stand up on everything and always pulls herself up on our coffee table, the problem is she falls a lot and bangs her head. So, JD decided he would be better off if he did his studying at the school instead of in the living room while Sesame Street was blaring and Samantha was practicing her new LOUD talking voice (Ba ba da da ba da b)!

He left and I put her down for a nap, when I realized I hadn't done my morning run, but was hungry. I ran twice yesterday for a good 45 minutes each time, and my body needed some fuel. So I went to start my devotion time and I felt the Holy Spirit, or my own brain, say, "It's ok, eat. You don't have to run on an empty stomach every morning to loose weight, you can run this afternoon when you are hungry."
So As I rumaged through the fridge looking for something good I saw Sourdough bread that I had thawed out last night, pesto in a jar and cheddar cheese! Yum!

I guess the moral of the story is, even though it's a good idea to exercise first thing of a morning on an empty stomach if life doesn't allow that then it's OK! I thouroughly enjoyed my Toasted Cheese and pesto on Sourdough bread and will have an awesome run later today. I also plan on making Chicken and Broccoli Pie and Zucchini Parmesan dish later for dinner. I will gladly have small portions of each and feel really good about my day of eating and exercise. I am definately loosing fat on my body. I haven't weighed yet, because I don't have scales. I will weigh myself later this week at the gym.

I hope each of you does something special for yourself today. Even if it's taking a nap after work, making a delicious dinner, or just running some hot water over tired feet. Treat yourself like you are royalty, because in my book each of us are sons and daughters of God, and it doesn't get better than that.
