I just learned that after I ate dinner. Sad. Oh well.. maybe tomorrow will have to be pancake day instead… 😉

This morning I woke up hungry but in the hustle and bustle of getting ready for school I forgot breakfast! I ate a “lame” breakfast of a deviled egg, some raw hazelnuts, and a slice of cheese, all eaten while running around the kitchen preparing lunch. Not very voluminous, but the fats kept me very full for hours!

Here’s my lunch:

Classic peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat, a “thick & creamy” yogurt, and an apple. I’m starting to eat bigger lunches so I don’t eat so much in the afternoon.

I actually didn’t eat anything else until dinner. I guess the protein from the yogurt was enough to hold me over.

First, a plum and a slice of cheese, the same kind I had this morning.

Then a huge, thick slice of homemade honey oat bread slathered with a heaping helping (oh yes, there was more added after the pic) of garlic hummus. Mmmmm. I noticed I eat a lot of bread… but I don’t care! Bread is the staff o’ life, and I’m not cutting back! 😛

After youth group this evening I came back starving! It had been almost six hours since I’d eaten. So.. I had some unpictured strawberry yogurt, and some crackers crushed into a small bowl of applesauce. A perfect little snack. The only thing that could have made it more perfect was if I’d photographed it.

Tonight at youth group the pastor preached about being willing to give up your whole life and everything you have for Jesus. He read from a book called “Extreme Devotion” which tells stories of martyrs and Christians who literally have risked death or imprisonment or both, just to preach the Word of God. It’s amazing what those people have done, really.

Verse of the Day: “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” Matthew 16: 24-25

Have a great night everybody! 🙂
