I’d love to try the A La Mexicana chips.

Congrats Emily! Please email me your information at branappetit [at] gmail.

There was no dessert last night.

In fact, as soon as I turned my computer off, I started having horrible cramp-like pains that ended up with me laying on our bed in the fetal position with a heating pad from 8:30 until I finally just crawled under the covers and went to bed.

I’m not sure what it’s from, and I’m still not feeling very good this morning, but it does seem to have gotten a little better. I took some Aleve last night and am not sure if that actually helped or things just calmed down a little on their own. I’ve had cysts before and the only thing I can think is that maybe I had one again and it ruptured last night? The pain was horrible and came on pretty suddenly last night, and that’s exactly how they explained it to me, and it was in the right area…but I don’t know.

I’m working from home today and will see what happens. I hope it keeps getting better, but at least I can be comfortable while I work and there is a hospital nearby in case things get worse.

No surprise – we didn’t go running this morning. I was really hoping to go, but oh well.

Health is more important that one run.

 

I’ve got coffee made

and an easy to eat and digest breakfast today.

I just didn’t think anything with dairy was going to sit well in my stomach this morning, so I went with some oatmeal with a peach, raspberries, and some almond butter.

Here’s hoping I start feeling better soon!

 

Caitlin will be on the Today Show this morning during the 8:30 hour promoting Operation Beautiful!!! Make sure to tune in.
