Good evening all! Today was good except for one little setback. I took my mom out to breakfast this morning, then we went to Kohl's to shop for baby clothes. My brother and his wife are having twin babies in June and I am soooooo excited! Anyway, we went to Village Inn and I knew that they would have good choices for me. I ordered 2 scrambled eggs, two turkey sausages, and a bowl of mixed fruit. I thought I would try decaf coffee and see how I reacted to it. Of course, it didn't have the caffeine, so I didn't have the jitters. After we ate, I felt ok for a while. Then when we were almost done shopping at Kohl's, I started to feel funny. I told my mom that she better get me home soon, because I was feeling sick. Oh great. Here I have done so good, and then I have to try decaf coffee. Was it worth it? NO. When I got home I ran to the bathroom and it was not good. I guess there is just something in the coffee bean, caf or decaf that just does not like me. :( I am going to have to stay away from all of it....period. So, I laid down for a while and slept for a few hours, then got up and felt totally fine. I prepared one of my green smoothies and it felt good on my tummy.
I am so excited to tell you all that my friend and I are getting ready to plan a Zumbathon for the Cache Humane Society! I got the date and place all verified today. It will be Wednesday, May 11th at the Logan Rec Center from 7-9 pm. Our last Zumbathon was for the American Heart Association and it turned out great! The Humane Society here is looking to build a public dog park, and we want to help them raise money for it. Being the animal lover that I am, I really am looking forward to this event. We are also hoping to get people to adopt some animals from there. I know this subject is not diet related, but it is a something that makes me very happy, and being happy helps me live a better life. Animals and Zumba make me very happy indeed!
