DILEMMA!

So your probably thinking "Woah Laney, calm down. Two posts in one week?!" Yah I know, pretty crazy!
Ok, so a couple of weeks ago I went to this doctor who does Nutritional Response Testing (go look it up, its difficult to explain. . . or maybe I am just too lazy to explain). Anyways, he found weaknesses in my stomach and so right now I am on a strict diet. To get rid of the virus in my body I have to take whole food supplements and (are you ready for this. . . sit down) eat NO sugar, NO grains, and NO dairy for 90 DAYS!!! umm. . . Your telling that to the girl who bakes like everyday of her life and lives off sugar. So I am two weeks into it and lets just say, I fail at life basically. hahaha. but seriously. I have eaten more sugar (and junk food) in the past 2 weeks than I ever have in my life. Its so bad. Since someone told me I couldn't have something, its like its all I crave. Your probably wondering, "Well what on God's green earth can you even eat?!" I can eat any kind of protein, and pretty much as much of it as I want. I can have all kinds of vegetables (oh did I mention that when he said no sugar that includes fruits. . um yah). I can lots of peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter. . you get the idea. I live off of scrambled egg and turkey muffins in the morning. (on the days that I actually follow my regiment). So here is my dilemma. Why is it that I all of a sudden eat a ton and everything that I am not supposed to even eat? Seriously, I have gained some weight because I have been eating so unhealthy. Well, one reason is that I am a selfish, impatient, and anxious person. I go to food because I'm stressed and worried about this new "diet" that I have to be on. (I could go on, but I wont bother you with the sob story). But even if its going to be really hard, I must do it to 1. get rid of the virus 2. learn how to obey and be disciplined 3. become free from any inner problems that I have and not even realize.
So, I am going to blog every so often tell you all what I have eaten, so your kinda like my accountability partners. Remember, NO sugar, NO grains, NO dairy. BUTTTTT I have found some somewhat good recipes I can have for dessert which includes a pumpkin pudding sweetened with stevia and some spices. Its not bad actually. Then there is my favorite. .. ICE CREAM! yup I said ice cream. . how? Its coconut milk ice cream and its the bomb diggity bomb. So yah. Thats that. Wish/Pray for me this week. Its a new week and I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Its going to be difficult, but I am going to look forward to the reward that its going to bring me.

Psalm 139 (its great)



PS. go to this website, it kinda explains what I am doing.

THE ICE CREAM SENT FROM HEAVEN.

long time no blog.

How cheeseball can I get with the title of this post? Seriously.
Well, I haven't had much time to blog, or more like I don't think about to blog with school going on. So basically what y'all have missed out on (which isn't much) is this. . . I am back at Baylor, I'm back working at Simply Delicious Bakery and still LOVE it! (I actually look forward to going into work). I changed my major to General Family and Consumer Sciences with a Nutrition Sciences minor. oh and I turned 21!!!!! woo hoo. It was a good birthday by the way.

I still do a lot of baking of course, but not as much at home since I have school in the way now and plus I work at a bakery. I did make about 50 cupcakes and 30 cookies for some business school meeting event and they all loved my stuff. It was so awesome to hear!! I DO MAKE GOOD STUFF!

Crazy story. This past week a man got super mad about a cake at the bakery. It was a $200 Mad Hatter cake and it was awesome!!!!!! It took Alyse 4 days to make. Well the phones rings and I answer. . . big mistake. "Simply Delicious" and on the other end, yelling and cursing and more yelling, (like absurd amount). What ended up happening was the dumb butt placed the cake in the back seat which is on a tilt. We asked if they wanted help out to the car and they said now. SOO the cake ends up taking a tumble. They must have been driving crazy because the cake was no more. He blamed it on us and demanded all kinds of things like money back, getting someone up at the bakery in 5 minutes and some profanity along with that. He called 7 times. The guy was a maniac because it was HIS SON'S 16TH BIRTHDAY DAMNIT. Well all be darn. I ended up crying because he wouldn't stop yelling at me after I asked him not to anymore. Our manager was out of town, and we weren't sure what to do, but we COULD NOT give him his money back b/c Angie (boss) wasn't there. oh but he wouldn't have it. Oh yah. Also, the wife signed the paper saying that once the cake has left the premises, it is no longer our responsibility. ANYWHO, Alyse and I ended up staying 6 hours after we closed to make the darn cake. And the woman who picked up the cake was so rude!!!!!!!!! and didn't even say thank you. So I made sure to say "YOUR WELCOME!"
As my aunt said that I should have said when the man was on the phone, "Well sir, quite frankly, you sound like your talking to someone who gives a shit." (excuse my language, but thats a quote.)

that was a long story short actually. But that man is no longer allowed on the premises of the property and my boss is pressing charges. INSANE. (did I mention his wife hugged me because she felt so badly and said that she was so sorry for his behavior and he had no right to treat me the way he did. Can someone say, abusive relationship, possibly? or at least, dysfunctional family).

Ok that is all for now. Thats a lot to take in and I apologize :)
