Well, I am so happy for Jana because she had such an enlightening day. Plus I love to read her blog because it sounds just like her talking. This may make certain transitions easier. ((insert stormy face I usually make when she talks about moving))
My day wasn't as enlightening, but it was fairly productive.
Woke up feeling VERY out-of-sorts. Congested and just generally yucky. I canceled a date for tonight (I didn't want to show up not 100%, plus I'm a little iffy about it). Then I spent the day grocery shopping and cooking. I seriously cooked/cleaned for about 3 hours.
I made all WW things from the recipes in the books I'm given there each week.
The first thing I made was a red potato/green bean side dish with 3 points/cup. It had this yummy sauce that had some olive oil, chicken broth, dijon mustard and some fresh chopped herbs. It was DELICIOUS!! I've got enough for some meals this week so I'm excited to add that to a lean piece of steak tomorrow night for dinner.
Then I worked on a recipe for lower fat stuffing. I made it with WW bread, more chicken broth, more fresh herbs, and sauteed celery and onions. It makes a 1 cup serving for 2 points. It was... ehhh. Maybe it needs more salt and pepper.
Then I made some whole wheat pasta with Trader Joe's spaghetti sauce and some italian turkey sausage that I sauteed with some onions. It's very heavy on the sauce and low on the turkey and pasta, but it's DELICIOUS! The recipe I made makes 2 servings, and after I added a little but of fresh parmesan for flavor, it's about 5.5 points (a great lunch/dinner option).
My roommate is quitting smoking (yay!) but in order for her to remain orally stimulated (hehe), she bought about $30 worth of candy. Chocolate (nestle crunch eggs, kit kats, chocolate bliss eggs), starbursts, blow pops, etc, etc, etc. It's been REALLY challenging to be around this house today. But I've let myself have one or two things, and just looked up the points. (One nestle crunch egg is 1 point-- as delicious as they are, I really have to consider if it's worth losing 1 of my 24 daily points on that).
I did ZERO exercise this weekend. I am feeling it. I can't wait to do T-Tapp. Kelly-- if we start as early as possible, can you do some of it with us? Jana and I did GREAT on Wednesday, but if we're going to hit our goal of M/W/F, we'll need all the support we can get.
I have been thinking about my Lenten goal. I think it is this: I want to strive to do 3o minutes of activity per day. Even if I split it up in 10/10/10 throughout the day, I want to do 30 minutes of activity per day. If I don't make it, I will be satisfied with 5/7 days a week.
Day 1: check! T-Tapped for 30 minutes
Days 2, 3, 4, 5: Nope. But I have just developed this goal.
Day 6: why, that's tomorrow!
See you then.
