I always think that getting back into the recipe rhythm takes awhile. It’s kind of a slow transition from eating high calorie food to eating good food. For Dan it is a transition back up to 6,000 plus calories! In good news, the scale on Thursday dropped another pound! yay!
The food yesterday was OK and just a little bit boring. Breakfast was the same. A blueberry bagel and cream cheese.
Lunch was a PB&J but I don’t think it is pretty enough to photog. I also had a few Clementine's.
I had a meeting all afternoon and made a rookie mistake. I went to target on an empty stomach. I left with tortilla chips, chocolate and chex mix. I had some of the chex mix and by the time I got home I didn’t even want to look at the tortilla chips. I put it all away in the cupboard. I remember a time (not too long ago) that I’d look at treats with the full knowledge that I’d eat the entire bag. I would multiply the calories (or carbs) by the number of servings in the bag. I am very proud of myself for not consuming it all! Go me!(not pictured)
When I got home I was distracted by some home maintenance and getting the dinner ready. Dan prepared another roast chicken. The chicken came out pretty well and I felt confident about the carving.
Our cooking class in December taught us how to carve. I should have taken better notes. I didn’t carve. I butchered.
Ooops. It was still tasty though! I was craving dark meat tonight. It was yummy.
Accompanying the chicken Dan made brown sugar glazed carrots.
For dessert I had a few cupcakes.
This five day week is almost OVER! It’s totally cruel to make us have a five day work week after a vacation. And once again Yay for me for not eating all the treats I bought!
What are you proud of?
