No Weigh in but a NSV
So I didn't change my weight for the week, because I had the stomach flu Sunday and Monday. I did weigh myself and I was most definitely *down* in weight, but obviously it wasn't accurate. So I will wait to see what my weigh in is next Monday and the average of that weigh in should reflect my loss for this week. :)
I went and did my first workout in like two weeks tonight. Yay! Not just for the workout but because I can finally breathe through my nose! I feel like I haven't smelled anything in forever. Although I have to say if you're going to have a sinus infection and be unable to smell for a week, it should be the week your kids have the stomach flu. :P The workout was good though, I have that nice tired and relaxed feeling you get after a good workout.
I then came home to a nice sensible dinner. (I can't believe I just typed that, I feel like it should be in a weight loss commercial for Slimfast). Anyway, I started dinner before I left and hubby finished it and fed the kids and himself while I was gone. We had Salmon, mushroom rice and peas. This is a relatively new thing for me. I am not a fish person. The only seafood I ate growing up was battered, fried then drenched in ketchup, usually accompanied by an order of chips with salt, vinegar and ketchup. So in an effort to eat healthier and make sure my kids have a more varied seafood experience, we have started eating fish once per week. We've got about 5 weeks under our belts now and it seems to be going ok. We've had Salmon, Haddock, Tilapia and Halibut. I liked the salmon best. I also made fish tacos once, which I really enjoyed but no one else did, so I probably won't make it again anytime soon. If anyone has any Fish recipes they'd like to share please do. I'd love to make it more interesting and I don't have alot of experience with cooking fish. Right now I basically just pan fry it either with olive oil or Pam and some Mrs. Dash. I don't like mustard so nothing with a sauce that uses it. :) I feel great about trying some new things and expanding my palate a bit. This is what I consider a non-scale victory. Yay Me!
Also we've been getting bids from contractors and working on getting financing to add an addition to our house. So that has been something keeping me busy. Also our brief period of spring weather is gone and we are getting snowed on even as I type this. It looks like it'll be about 6 inches by morning. I have a check up at the Doctor for my littlest and am getting my oldest's ears checked out too. Should be fun with 3 kids in the waiting room! Envy Me!
Have an awesome week!
