Muddier Than The Puddles Themselves

Hey everyone, it's Rachel.  I apologize for Kellen not writing yesterday and for myself getting this blog post out so late, but Kellen's been doing summer camps for his job this week and has been super busy, and I was at Country USA tonight.  It's super muddy, as you can see from the title perhaps (the rain was terrible to the fields the festival is held at), and I just wanted you to know that I am very proud of myself!

I really wanted carnival food the whole time at Country USA.  With the smell of french fries, corn dogs, pizza, cotton candy, and the like floating in the air the two nights I was in Oshkosh for the festival, I sure wanted to eat.  Boy did I want to eat.  On Wednesday night, my roommate and I split an order of spiral spuds (like potato chips but spiral-y) for my snack.  It was delicious!  Tonight, however, I packed a snack to keep in the car for the ride home, and didn't allow myself any of the amazing foods I so desperately wanted to eat!  Even though I really really really wanted a quarter pound corn dog and some cheese curds, I was strong and didn't eat anything.  I chewed gum and thought about all the food I wanted to eat, but I did not eat.  Please be as proud of me as I am of me right now! 

 

Other than that, I don't have any real updates.  I was going to write a creative blog article on something awesome about MyPlate, but I can't think of anything awesome besides the fact that when I look in the mirror, my face looks slimmer and my stretch marks aren't purple anymore but a light pink.  I am not as hungry all the time anymore, either, and sometimes feel I can go without a snack (till the munchies set in anyway!).  I feel like I'm getting healthier.  It feels good.

Also--one last thing to mention.  I'm getting so sick of veggies for breakfast!  Can anyone seriously suggest something different that I can eat to get me the veggie requirement without me actually eating physical veggies?  It's getting old. 

Take care, and I'll see you Saturday!
