break fast, break rules, break news...

Breaking the fast...

4 days into my "breakfast challenge"

Chrissy: "Ughhhh I really want cereal"
John: "Then eat cereal"
Chrissy: "But I said I wouldn't this week"
John: "Well that's a stupid rule."
Chrissy: "Its not a RULE. I HATE food rules"
John: "Well then eat cereal!"
Chrissy: "Ok...good point"

Why was I depriving myself of my favorite food in one of my most stressful weeks of my semester? I'm not sure...but SO glad I realized I was trying to get all "rule-ish" and busted back into my cereal boxes. I will say, it was fun eating other things for breakfast & I plan to do that when the mood strikes...I just think its extremely important to not label foods as "good" or "bad"...its all about balance. (and breaking my stupid food rules that have been the bane of my existence for way to too long)

Speaking of breaking rules...

If you want to experience instant joy I highly recommend you put down your homework/laundry/whatever you are doing asap and pop on Michael Buble's new album and dance in the kitchen in your favorite pajamas while making a chocolate-pumpkin bundt cake. My "must get as much homework done as possible while John is gone" rule was a beautiful one to break!

Now onto some breaking news,

Danny "won" the cereal guessing challenge (I'm trying to ignore the fact that he guessed twice)...its is an oldie but a goodie...drum roll please!....LIFE cereal happens to be the newest treasured treat in my cereal mix (that im allowed to eat whenever I want : )) ---both regular and maple brown sugar have made their way into my bowl & I highly recommend them both.
