HEY THERE!!
Im so excited I finally feel like its fall!!!
Pumpkin is taking over…
I finally got a chance to get to the state fair!! I know what youre thinking “wow this girl must not get out much”. But believe me, its awesome and a tradition. We were out there for 6 hours!! I think we rode just about every ride!!
And I got my annual diabetes-causing ball of fried dough
I went grocery shopping yeserday!! (yes that excites me)
And I discovered this totally awesome food
I’ve seen other bloggers make carrot/broccoli fries but I can’t cook to save my life. These were super easy to throw on a pan and bake. No prep needed.
Update: Im doing pretty good with staying away from the sugary foods that usually lead me bingeing later. Its so harddd!! It really is like an addiction. After learning more about how sugar effects your blood sugar levels and mood I realize why im more inclined to overeat those types of foods. They elevate my sugar levels and make me feel better temporarily. Learning to feel good without food is the real trick. Im still suffering from swelling and joint pain 😦 but the doctor says it has to go away on its own time.
Too bad this busy girl doesnt have the luxury of sitting with her feet propped up all day!! What do I look like, a princess? Well okay maybe I do look like one 🙂 But i dont get to act like one.

The pumpkin yogurt sounds really good. I love the coffee creamers, they are amazing :). I’ve also made a couple pumpkin recipes this year and they’ve turned out great, I love how they make the apartment smell like Fall!
Ashley said:

Haha, you ate elephant ear? You are so brave!! 😀
Ashley said:
hehe when i was little I would never eat them because I thought they really were from elephants 🙂
Tessa @ Amazing Asset said:
If I bought that coffee creamer it would be gone so so fast! I will in fact have to go and get some soon 🙂
Ashley said:
Ive had mine for 3 days and I may have to go get some more tomorrow…oops. I basically drink a cup of creamer with a little coffee added in.

Pumpkin yogurt?!?! I’m going to Target NOW!! 😛
oh- btw. You asked about how much time I take between sets. I usually only take a breather for a minute while I’m changing my weights, but I try to just keep going unless I’m absolutely exhausted! 🙂
Ashley said:
You better go get some before I buy it all 🙂 and thank you so much!! I just wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly.
LoveLiveAndLearn said:
That fried dough Elephant Ear looks so so tasty!
And pumpkin yogurt sounds yummy and intriguing, want to send me some I don’t think they make it over here 😛
Sorry about the joint pain, I know how frustrating it can be, I hope it goes away quickly!
Ashley said:
what?? no pumpkin yogurt, how do you survive? Im sure theres a good recipe floating around in the blog world somewhere. Thanks for the encouragement!! I sure hope so because I miss running!!
