Finding New Favorites at Week Six

Well, here we are - six weeks in and feeling good. Tonight was the official "halftime"of our 12-week boot camp. We weighed in (just like every Tuesday night) but this Tuesday was different, because we had measurements taken. All I can say is thank you Jesus! The inches are coming off and so are the pounds. I'm down 14.5 pounds and can feel every ounce. Love, love, love!  Birthday dress, here I come!

These past six weeks have taught me to try new things. I haven't loved everything, but that's okay, because I certainly haven't hated everything either. This weekend I discovered some new favorites I thought I would share:


*Gluten-Free Blueberry Pancakes
My gorgeous friend Ashleigh has gotten herself quite slim and trim in these past few years. She's a talented cook and is diligent about proper nutrition. In her journey to fabulousness, she's found that a gluten-free lifestyle has helped keep her body in tune.
Last week we planned a Sunday outing to our Mecca (see below listed store) with a stop for breakfast first (because every girl needs fuel before she power-shops). Ashleigh's breakfast suggestion was "The Original Pancake House". Now even though this sounds sinful, they offer egg white omelets and gluten-free options, so I thought I'd give it a try.
If you haven't had a blueberry gluten-free pancakes with blueberry compote, go find one...now. The taste was great and I didn't have that overstuffed, guilty feeling when I was done with my breakfast treat. I may not be 100% gluten-free, but I'm certainly going to try more gluten-free options. Two thumbs up from this girl.


*The Container Store - http://www.containerstore.com/welcome.htm
I'm pretty sure when I die, my heaven will have a "Container Store" on one of it's corners. This place has everything you could ever want to organize your existence. If you feel the least bit in disarray, this is your place. Check it out and if you don't want to go alone, I'll go with you - because who doesn't need another shoe tree?!?


Now you know what I love. So go get yourself some blueberry pancakes and organize a closet, or do yourself a favor and get out and try something new.

*MUAH*
