Scone-age

Today definitely started off right. Part of it may have to do with the fact that I slept past 9 which never happens. But really, I think I should owe it all to this delicious piece of food from breakfast heaven.


Yes, I finally made scones. Now it may not look like the type of fancy scones you get from Starbucks but I personally think these are just as good. So this morning I just slathered it with a little mixed berry jam from Aldi and microwaved it for about 20 seconds.

It's a good thing I shared these with my roommate because frankly, I could eat them all if I wanted to.

But--I won't. I'm trying to keep myself on my healthy food streak because my sorority is doing a fitness challenge. I'm not trying to lose any weight but simply tone up. And 8 scones isn't probably going to allow that to happen. Then again, does running 4 miles cancel two of them out at least??

Well, even though they are delicious I am going to have some restraint because I want to set a good example.

However, if you're feeling like diving into some scones then by all means :)
