1 Mile Running Pledge

My friend Christina turned me onto this running pledge over the holiday season.  Run 1 mile every day between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I am definitely going to try to do this.  I am going to start (well, start counting my miles) on Thursday.  Below is the article that she sent me that totally got me pumped.

Mindless Snacking

It is only 11:40am.  I have been really watching what I have been snacking on throughout the day.  I have the Honey Wheat Pretzels from Aldi.  There are 7 Pretzels in 1 Serving.  That means there are 15.7 calories per pretzel.... I don't really think it is worth it.  

Here is what I have found out this morning....

1.  I have no self control.
2.  I have eaten 24 Pretzels already.
3.  If I wasn't focused on not snacking, I would have eaten 50 pretzels.
4. 24 Pretzels = 377 Calories (EMPTY).
5.  50 Pretzels = 785.7 Calories.

Yikes!!!!

Deep Dish Pizza

Even though I made deep dish pizza last night. It is so much healthier than if I were to order delivery. Here are some pics:

Owen's 1st Smash Cake

I made a 5" Round Double Layer Cake with buttercream frosting for my friend'a son's 1st birthday. My house was so hot that I had to pipe in the fridge. I also used ziplock bags because I ran out of piping bags.
