I Just Wanna DANCE! 8/8/11

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!
