This weekend I ran in the Diva Dask 5K! I was stoked to do this again because last year I was so close to running the whole thing without stopping but walked about .10 miles of it. :( Sad day! But...this time I had the knowledge that I can run a full 5K without stopping so I thought yes! I have this one down for sure....not the case. I don't know what it is about Diva Dash that I can't finish the thing without walking. I know part of it was due to me not feeling very well this week and not being able to get my runs in but...dang! I was really hoping to run the whole thing without walking any of it. My best friend Jaci ran it (and walked it) with me. She was such a trooper. This was her first 5K and she stayed with me the whole time rather than running the whole thing and running it at her pace. That is my friend y'all. We are the only ones that would claim each other but we don't know what we'd do without each other either! I love her to death!
I have also decided to try this push up challenge I found on Pinterest. At the end you are supposed to be able to do 40 push ups. Now...this isn't the barely bent arm push ups...these are the full on, lay a meter stick across your shoulders, push ups. So....we will just have to see about this!
On another note, I was able to cook again this last week! I got to make a new recipe! It was a Pioneer Woman's recipe. Now let me just tell you....I LOVE THE PIONEER WOMAN! I kinda want her life! Hahahaha! Married to a handsome cattle rancher, living on a ranch, and getting paid to cook! What's up?! Here is a picture of the dish that I made. I substituted chicken for ham. And here is the link to that recipe as well: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2014/03/tortellini-primavera/ Now let me just say....I was definitely NOT able to eat very much of this because it is NOT Weigh Watchers approved.....BUT I was able to share with my coworker and roommates!
I was also able to make this Skinny Cake Batter Ice Cream that the lovely lady from church, that I have talked about before, gave me all the ingredients for. It was soooo good! And all you use is half of a diet soda cake (box of confetti cake mix mixed with 12 oz of diet sprite or 7 up and baked to box directions), 1 small tub of cool whip free, and a can of fat free sweetened condensed milk. Mix together and freeze, and it actually tastes like cake batter ice cream!
Speaking of sweet ladies at church....I just want to publicly say how thankful I am for my church and church family. We have recently had some tough events occur at church and yet everyone has responded so Biblically! It is incredibly encouraging and wonderful to know that you are in a Bible believing and Bible teaching church. And a church that responds to things Biblically! I am very thankful that the Lord brought me to my church!
