Howdy! Yet another whirl-wind weekend has come to an end and back to work we go. This weekend was crazy and went by all too quickly, but I am happy to be back to work and on my regular schedule. Brief re-cap:
Friday:
After work went to the grocery and shopping with my sister. 1 scoop of turkey chili and protein mousse for dinner.
Saturday:
Woke up early to make my sister’s bday cake, rode my bike to the gym and worked out with Sarah. Prepped for the party: loading/unloading tables and chairs, carrying and stacking loads of firewood, cooking, cleaning etc. I made a DELICIOUS Panzanella salad (recipe below) that was pretty healthy and fresh. The party was fun, I didn’t eat much but I definitely did my share of drinking that night! We went to Yadda Club in Covington and I danced my ASS off! I burned a ton of calories and had an amazing time!
Sunday:
Terrible food day: I was hungover and wasn’t thinking clearly (obviously). I ate doughnuts and goetta for breakfast, no lunch, veggies and a tiny bit of pork chop for dinner (dinner wasn’t bad, the veggies were really fresh) then an individual-sized bag of kettle corn while watching True Blood.
GOOD NEWS – I lost 4 ½ lbs last week! It feels so great to be back on track!
I didn’t make it to the gym this morning. I was SO exhausted when I woke up from work I knew there was no way I was going to have any sort of productive workout. I’m considering going to Rabbit Hash tonight but I may just skip that and go to bed really early so I can be back to normal tomorrow.
Food Today:
Breakfast:
Mocha Protein Shake
Snack:
Low Carb Yogurt
Lunch:
Tuna Salad
Baby Carrots with a dollup of ranch dip (leftover from the party)
Snack:
Weight Watchers String Cheese
¼ cup of raisin & nut trail mix (no chocolate)
Dinner:
I’m trying something new!
Stuffed mushrooms, sautéed peppers and onions and maybe salad or rice? I’ll follow-up tomorrow J
Panzanella Salad:
1 lg (or 2 small) Italian Loaf, cut in 1/2 and brushed with EVOO
2tbs Garlic, minced
5 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/2 large Red onion, chopped
2-3 green onions, chopped
handful fresh basil, diced
1/2 c Crumbled Goat Cheese
2tbs EVOO
2tbs Balsamic Vinegar
S&P
-Grill the bread on both sides until browned. Allow to cool and chop into approx 1" pieces
-Combine all ingredients other than bread in a bowl.
-Before serving, toss in bread
That's all! SO yummy!
Over-all, the weekend was fun and I don’t feel too terribly bad about the bad breakfast and kettle corn yesterday since I worked/danced my ass off on Saturday!
I’m considering taking a hip-hop dance class once a week. They teach the classes at the same place where Nora takes music classes, so it’s really close! I just think it sounds fun, I love to dance!
Well, that’s all I have for today…
Until tomorrow!
