Having a good day today. Still feeling my allergies: Itchy, watery, poof eyes and sneezing. But not quite as tired as yesterday. The swelling in my lump (the lymph noted under my right jawbone), has gone done. I still smell burning oil everywhere....that is the weirdest symptom ever. I know, I know. Dr. appointment will be made soon!
However, good news!
Drum roll.....
I made it to the gym!!
It was a short workout, but I got there! I did 7 very vigorous minutes on the elyptical, bench press, shoulder press and lat pull down.
I also managed to get one of my favorite comfort foods in the crockpot before I left. Tater tot casserole!
We are a gluten free household and I was horrified to discover recently that cream of mushroom soup has gluten in it, so I made my own!
I layered tater tots on the bottom of the crock, topped it with grilled, chunks of boneless chicken breasts (I used Tyson frozen white meat, 22 oz), topped that with a 16 oz bag of frozen veggies, topped that with the homemade cream of mushroom soup, followed by a bag of shredded cheese (I used Lucerne "Mexican Style Nacho Blend with Jalapeno Peppers", 8 oz), covered in a layer of tater tots.)
I seriously am salivating as I type this! Can't wait for dinner!
After the gym, I headed down to play the piano for "The Penguin Musical", at an elementary school. A good friend of mine wrote and directed it. First graders. So cute. And amazingly they memorized their lines. And there were MANY lines!
I am going back this evening for a performance for the families.
I am just so pleased with myself for putting one foot in front of the other.
And in fact, this is my "joy" day. I am focusing on a different fruit of the spirit each day from Galatians 5:22. And I am indeed feeling joyful!
Happy Thursday!
