Rain equals shopping

So I had the best of intentions of working on a project here at the house.  This beautiful mess.
So we bought this house last August and the landscaping is less than desirable.  I live in South Carolina and am learning to work with red clay.  Red clay is slimy putty like substance that you cannot level out.  The landscaper that worked on my house didn't bother to try and level it he just dumped plants in red clay and tossed pine straw on top.  Now I have the job of digging this nasty stuff out and adding top soil, leveling the dirt, putting down landscaping fabric and buying all new pine straw.  I worked for about an hour until it started storming.  So inside the house for lunch I went.  Lunch was easy today just a peanut butter sandwich, peach yogurt and plenty of water!



Now what does one do when you are stuck in the house and it's raining...you go shopping!  So the family got in the car and we went to Earth Fare.


  Now I love this place.  I love going to a supermarket that sells mostly healthy food.  I didn't buy any fresh produce there but I did pick up a couple of goodies.  Justin's Almond Butter is a favorite of mine and with only two ingredients you can't go wrong.  I also got some Wasa flatbread and Eatsmart Naturals Tortilla Chips.  Dinner ended up being at Cheddars.  I went with Key West Chicken & Shrimp which consist of marinated grilled chicken breast topped with grilled shrimp and pineapple pico de gallo.  It wasn't the healthiest option but it did hit the spot.  After the kids go to bed it is P90X time and tonight is Kempo.  This workout is great with all the kicking and punching.  When I first did  kempo it was not fun for one reason, I am uncoordinated.  Today I feel I can kick and punch with the best of them and feel so powerful doing it.  That's the thing about getting stronger is you get more confident in your own abilities.
