starting off on the pumpkin spice latte foot.

hello!  i'm enjoying my first pumpkin spice latte of the season as i sit down to write this post before work.  i knowww, it doesn't come with sugar free syrup but i just couldn't pass the starbucks lady up when she promised me she would use nonfat milk and no whip.  this is the only added sugar i've had in my diet for four days and i figure since it's friday and almost my birthdayyy i would just allow myself this happy little drink.  yummy!

other than this, my 'clean up' is going fabulous!  no meat, no sweets, no treats (peanut butter for me).  that has been the hardest part.  i made nick put it way up high in our kitchen cabinet so it wouldn't stare me down in the face every time i look at it.  it brings me back to these babies...

and this...

oh my gosh i need to stop.  

other than daydreaming about my pal JIF, this is what I've been enjoying!

organic black bean soup in a mug.

tea.

green veggies.

fall fruit.

 kettlebell workouts.
