Simply had a splendid day today, and all because I allowed myself to let go of my fears and embrace God's love. As for my new plan I stayed right on target and pushed myself a little more during my workout.

I'm actually starting to look forward to the whole workout now because it just gives me energy....though while I'm doing it I feel that I'm dying, but still at the end I somehow feel revitalized and ready to take on anything. Which in my household comes in the shape of a wonderful little bundle of energy, otherwise known as Oliver.

We sure had a lot of fun today and getting in shape is great right now since he keeps me on my feet and on my hands and knees an awful lot. But I absolutely love chasing him on all fours and watching as his eyes light up with excitement and he squeals with delight.

Last night I tried a new pizza dough made from whole wheat flour, wheat germ(first time I had used it), honey, yeast and salt. It didn't turn out so well even though I followed the directions exactly. The dough was too dry and just crumbling all over the place. I had to put a good bit of olive oil and work it in and then it didn't rise at all. Still, topped with hamburger beef, pizza sauce, and cheese, it tasted great so I can't complain. Though I definitely won't be making it again.

Tomorrow I will be making pizza with some other young moms and their little ones so I'm just going to stick to a mostly white flour dough that will be a lot easier to work with.
