30 Days of Modified Juicing

Drank fresh juice this morning – loved it! Took half a melatonin last night, so I slept great! And it’s Thursday, which means tomorrow is Friday. Which is awesome. Workin’ for the weekends!

Taco was in a mood today. It’s rough when you’re smothered with affection, showered with catnip, and constantly played with.

And I baked. I can’t stay away! I had an idea and had to see it to fruition! I only took 2 bites. One to make sure the flavors worked okay (but really, with chocolate and strawberry, it’s hard to go wrong!) and one to test the texture. I think it’s a win. 🙂

In the process of baking, I noticed that the chocolate syrup from Walmart may contain traces of…anchovies? I’m warming up to some strange flavor combos, but I have to say, anchovies are one thing that shouldn’t have anything to do with my chocolate. Weird.

And I went to Body Step! It. was. awesome! In the first class, my feet were stumbling around and I just didn’t feel like I was getting the steps (though I DEFINITELY got a workout!). Tonight, I felt like I was on fire! The steps were easier to grasp and it was so much easier to keep up with the instructor! When she started the cool down, I couldn’t believe the hour was already over! I actually wanted the class to keep going. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me before with any kind of exercise.

And now that we’re home, I’m completely wired! If I didn’t have work tomorrow, I’d be staying up all night cleaning and baking and being productive! My fingers aren’t typing fast enough to keep up with my thoughts. And to think, I was dragging my heels going to class tonight, because I wanted to finish the book I’m reading. So glad I went to class instead!

And now, I’m off to the kitchen to make juice! *dun du du duuun* (I don’t know what that was. When I’m wired, I tend to make random noises.)

Mood: Bouncing off the walls. Deep thought of the moment – if “off the heezy” means “off the hook,” am I currently bouncing off the weezy? Ponder.
