Overcoming Obstacles

by Lauren on October 6, 2009

If you didn’t know…I am on Twitter, and you should follow me. While I was on there today I saw this quote from @GreatestQuotes that I thought was just perfect for today. “Nothing is an obstacle unless you say it is.” – Wally Amos

If I think about running with out an iPod for 13 miles as an obstacle then it WILL be an obstacle. If I look at it as “something I can do” than it “WILL be something I can do”.

Ok-on to an awesome lunch. Last night Chris an I ordered a thin crust pizza with green pepper and onions. It was pretty good, but also very big. Thank goodness for leftovers.

For lunch I had 2 large pieces that I topped with fresh tomato, basil, and a Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Gardenburger. Fitting right? I am really starting to love veggie burgers..A LOT! All these additions were STUPENDOUS! It was tomato-basil-wonderful-ness.

This lunch was really very good and quite filling. Today is starting to look up!
For a snack I had an apple with 1/2 C low fat cottage cheese. I just wish I had some cinnamon!

Ken Forrester, the winemaker, came by the store to taste us on his spectacular South African wines. I didn’t know much about him or his wines and really wasn’t in the mood to taste, but I was forced into it. And good thing I was because I was BLOWN AWAY! His wines were spectacular. Absolutely stunning. My favorites were The FMC, The Gypsy, Ken Forrester Sauvignon Blanc, and the Ken Forrester Chenin Blanc. These were definitely food wines, and I just wish I had some scallops or curry to try them with. Literally STUNNING.

By the way-that shirt I am wearing my mom bought for me in Spain. THANKS MOM!

I just wish I could afford a bottle of The FMC because I would take it home tonight! So delish!
