Wednesday morning we woke up and decided that it was time for us to explore the natural hot springs in Banos and take our first hot shower. But we were feeling kind of lazy, so we power walked instead of doing our usual run. We showered a most amazing shower (it reminded me so much of the showers that you go to when you’re camping. Dirty stall, but the warm water is so amazing!). We then took the bus back up and it was downhill from there.
We didn’t feel like doing anything! We had some stuff planned for the kids that day, but didn’t do a single thing we planned. Instead we just let them color and do puzzles and pretty much whatever they wanted. But it was so nice and relaxing!
After the kids left, I had serious plans to do some studying, cleaning, laundering etc. Here’s what we did instead.
We watched a whole movie. Letters to Juliet.
Then, we started another movie. 10 Things I Hate About You.
It was dirty, so we turned it off and started… yes ANOTHER MOVIE. Enchanted.
As we were watching it, there was a knock on our door and it was Pedro. He had brought us Torta and Chocolates! So we went down stairs and ATE and hung out with him for a couple hours.
Then we went back upstairs and watched Enchanted for the rest of the night.
We literally did nothing productive that day. Don’t worry, it gets worse. Check out what we ate.
Breakfast: Sweet Bread.
Lunch: Fried Speghetti and Rice
Snack: Tea and Popcorn with Cinnamon Sugar
Snack: Chocolate Cake with lots of frosting
Snack: Sweet Bread and Milk. Normal Bread and cheese
Snack: Graham Crackers
Dinner: Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Cake with lots of frosting (and lots of it)
Snack: Half an avocado
Shoot We Should have Eaten Something of Substance Today: Leftover Chicken Quinoa Soup
Lets Just Try One Piece of Chocolate: 15 pieces of fancy chocolate
I Need to Get This Chocolate Taste Out Of My Mouth: More Sweet Bread
Are you judging us right now? You probably should be. But we don’t regret it one bit. It was a GLORIOUS DAY! Every girls dream come true. Filled with warm showers, chick flicks, chocolate, cake and a slumber party.
Although, last night for scripture study, we read Mosiah 4:30 and decided that starting the next morning, we were going to exercise some serious self control. Our new phrase (that we stole from that verse) is: Oh Man, Remember!
Meaning, when we’re craving some of that cake that’s tempting us (one in the fridge, one in the freezer) we say to each other, “Oh Man, Remember!” Remember how sick we felt going to bed that night? Remember how chubby and sluggish we felt waking up the next morning? Remember how nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels???
Oh yeah. We remember. And we’re determined to be better.
So determined, that we woke up the next morning (at 7:30) and went on a super steep uphill run, followed by a nice run down the mountain and did P90 Ab Ripper X. We were then sweaty and nasty and ready to submit ourselves to an ice cold shower when just as I was about to hop in the shower, I discovered that our water had been turned off. Just our luck. So we stink, but we are well on our way to being sugar free and fit for life!
