Confucius said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." I decided to stop making excuses. I stopped saying "I can't". I can and I did. In 2011, I have now walked more than one thousand miles. In an effort to help others as well as myself, I donated a thousand dollars to "Homes For Our Troops". But, I'm not done. I'm still walking. Won't you join me on my journey? Together, we can eat healthier, exercise more, and maybe give just a bit of ourselves to those less fortunate.

Mold Happens. Move On.
Spike: There's something wrong with this yogurt.
William: Ah, that's not yogurt, that's mayonnaise...
Spike: Ah, right-o then.
[continues to eat it] ~ Notting Hill (1999)
This morning, I got up, had coffee with my husband, then went down to the basement to workout. I thought about walking outside. It was another beautiful day. The only reason I didn't was, on the treadmill, I can get a harder workout. More sweat, you know? Sorry, more glowing.
After my usual routine, I came back up and showered. It was 1000hrs by now and I was starving, so I made a why protein smoothie. I like to make them after my workout because they are filling. I added Jillian Michael's chocolate whey protein powder, one cup crushed ice, one cup water, one banana, and a mixture of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Then I added a teaspoon of wheat germ. yum. It makes two full glasses. I follow with a glass of water and I've good until lunch.
I had to head over to Kohl's. No really, I had to. I had $30.00 in Kohl's cash to spend. Sure, I know its just a ploy to get me in the store, but hey...it works especially when there are school clothes to buy.
When I came home, I threw some laundry in. It was around 1230hrs and I was hungry again. Time for my yogurt. When I opened the container, I was shocked to find it had mold. Yuck! Oh well. I took a photo for proof (and the blog), then tossed it in the trash. Then I went back to the fridge. I always have extra on hand. Oh well. That's life. Mold happens. Its a shame though. I was really in the mood for Chobani Vanilla (only 120 calories). Instead, I had a plain (100 calories) and mixed it with a half teaspoon of Nutella. Not so low in calories, but hey its chocolate and hazelnut..Mmmmm. You know what would be nice? If the Chobani folks would send me a case of vanilla to make up for what happened. I can dream, right? If they do, I'll be sure to tell you about it.
