Hello all! This weekend was busy, and full of bad food. Seriously delicious food, but not so much on the healthy side. And I didn’t get much exercise beyond walking the pup.

Friday:

Breakfast – Banana oatmeal and egg beaters

Lunch – Chicken/provolone hot sandwich with a greek salad (take-out)

Dinner – oil/vinegar marinated grilled chicken, mashed potatoes with green onions and bacon mixed in, steamed green beans

Exercise – walked the pup for 30 minutes, but didn’t have time to do anything else because the in-laws came over for dinner

Evening – laundry, and spending time with my feeling-neglected DH.

Saturday:

Tons of errands, cleaned the whole house, and tons of kuldunai making for my father in law’s birthday dinner.

Breakfast: red berry with banana, milk

Lunch: slice of pepperoni pizza and leftover mashed potatoes from last night (how’s that for junk food)

Snack: slice of venison bologna

Dinner: kuldunai, leftover green beans

Evening – had my inlaws around…MIL made a carrot cake and insisted I eat it. Bleck.

Sunday:

Ran errands with the hubs – I know more about turkey hunting equipment than I ever wanted. Attended a birthday party in the evening, which meant a super-later dinner and getting to bed late.

Breakfast: egg beaters, one slice leftover bacon, used leftover roasted potatoes as ‘home fries’

Lunch: cheddar turkey braut on a potato roll, handful of pretzels

Dinner: a very late and very rushed Chinese – I had 2 crab rangoons and a pint of chicken and broccoli with white rice. And there was a slice of chocolate cake at the birthday party.

 

Ugh. I basically feel like I dont want to eat for days after all of that.

And yet, here are some eats from Monday! Ha!

 

Breakfast

Re-do (in packaged and portable form) of yesterday. OMG it was delicious. Added a bagel thin with strawberry preserves for staying power.

Evening

My week is going to be busy…we’re headed out to the Pittsburgh area to see my family for Easter and I always feel like there’s a ton to be done before we leave.

See my list?

Tonight I need to:

  • Sew the couch cushion the dog chewed
  • Pack up the pup’s stuff for the trip

In addition to my normal weeknight activities (reading blogs, sending emails, updating my blog, packing breakfast/lunch/snacks for work tomorrow, getting clothing for work and gym tomorrow,and cleaning up from dinner)

G’night all!
