Week in review
The week was a more manageable roller coaster through the end:
1. fresh baked cookies--seriously, RIGHT out of the oven--threw me for a loop on Friday. I've decided to allow myself ONE cookie on Fridays from now on. If they're fresh out of the oven. It will save me from eating one daily Monday through Thursday and two on Friday.
2. I dislike running while I'm running but I love how I feel when it's over. I slept in today and skipped my planned run in the morning because I had other commitments, but when they were all over and when E left for work, I left for the gym. Ran 1.5 miles. Walked another .5 mile. Then hit up the supermarket so I can be lazy tomorrow (well, except for that 9:30am spin class).
3. I'm down a half a pound. Proof that I don't need to follow my diet perfectly, but as long as I'm mostly committed to it, I'll do fine.
This week's menu:
Sunday: healthy nachos (FF refried beans, extra lean ground beef, guac, FF Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, LF cheese, tomatoes, scallions, baked chips)
Monday: most likely a trip to the Outback because its near the place where I need to get my car serviced (a 2010 car and it's leaking coolant on the floor of the front passenger side).
Tuesday: shrimp noodle bowl
Wednesday: out to dinner with a candidate interviewing for one of our positions. E will have leftover shrimp noodle bowl.
Thursday: beef stew
Friday: I will be out to dinner with another candidate. E will have leftover beef stew.
Saturday: wedding
Sunday: cauliflower soup and spinach salad with roasted butternut squash, sunflower seeds, craisins and balsamic dressing (maybe some goat cheese too)
If I can't get my car serviced Monday, we may just move up cauliflower soup to that day.
