Moms are the best.

Hey guys. Happy Saturday.
So, yeah… yesterday… was hard, but it seems like that’s the norm lately. It was family night though, so at least that was fun. I’m really grateful I have such an amazing family.
I woke up and went on my morning walk, as usual. Came home to breakfast.
Breakfast
Chocolate-banana protein shake, topped with crunchy peanut butter.
This was seriously amazing. So creamy and good and sweet and delicious. It almost killed me, though. I curled up in my bed under my covers for an hour afterwards, shivering my butt off. So cold.
Workout
45 minutes elliptical
20 minutes shoulders
- Seated shoulder press – 30 lbs, pyramid set
- SUPERSET
- Lateral raises – 5 lbs per arm, pyramid set
- Front raises – 10 lbs, pyramid set
Wasn’t in the mood to lift weights today. And I started my workout really late because I kinda feel asleep after breakfast. And the TV remote is broken so I couldn’t switch channels when I got bored. Oh well. No big deal.
Showered, more make-up…
Lunch
Okra fries and veggie burger, with ketchup + mustard
Simple. Good. Whatever.
After lunch, I headed over to my grandparent’s house. I was really down on myself. My face is so ugly, and now my chin is really dry and scabby so make-up doesn’t even hide it. I tried to cheer up, but before I knew what was happening, I was crying my eyes out. My grandma is so sweet and so perfect. She said the perfect things and she gives amazing hugs. I love her so much.
God, now I’m crying sitting here typing this.
Anyways… after I cried I felt a bit better, and then we were off to the grocery store to pick up stuff for dinner. It was pretty awesome.
Dinner
Salad with romaine, mushrooms, tomato, bell pepper, broccoli slaw
Homemade personal pizzas! (mine = tomato sauce, mushrooms, bell pepper, onions, olives, turkey sausage, no cheese)
And a side of sauteed zucchini and leftover sausage…
It was a hit. Everybody loved it. My pizza had a minor blow-out, though. My dad said it looked like a painter’s palette with the little thumb hole, haha.
We made dessert, too…
Dessert
Cranberry-walnut bread
Yum. I’ve been craving some cranberry nut bread all summer. I enjoyed a nice fat slice with two mugs of hot hazelnut decaf while we watched Mars Needs Moms.
Surprisingly, it was a pretty good little movie.
Moms really are the best. My mom and grandma are my God-sends. I don’t know what I would do without them. I love them so much that it truly is beyond words. I feel like I could go to them about anything, and they can almost always magically make me feel better. I should really just be so grateful that I have these two wonderful, amazing women in my life who I know will always love me, no matter how ugly my face is.
Darn it. I’m crying again.

I love how no matter how you look or act, your parents and grandparents can make it feel better. They’re always there, through thick and thin, and I always know I can turn to them. I’d be devastated if my relationship with my mom was bad.. she’s just such an important person in my life!
Send me some cranberry walnut bread please? it looks so good!

[...] you notice a change in my tone? Today’s been pretty great (though this morning I was rather stressed out and emotional.) I’m trying to be more upbeat. This is not the [...]
