We spent the day doing exactly what we said we were going to do -- cooking meals for the day and prepping meals and veggies/fruits for the week. It was not nearly as laborious and time consuming as it was last weekend, which helped use to be able to relax some. And by relax I mean Derek played video games and I took a nap.
We made some more of the pulled chicken & salsa thing that was a hit last week; but that was really the only meal that needed to be made in advance. Oh, and I roasted a chicken. Came out quite well, for chicken. (I'm not much of a fan of chicken, but I think Derek enjoyed it so I'll call it a win.)
I've discovered I have a thing against hot vegetables. I love veggies but I much prefer to eat them cold, I've noticed. Cucumbers, peppers, carrots, tomatoes (yes, I know they're technically a fruit), onions, broccoli... much prefer them cold. I like green beans but I even noticed tonight with dinner that I just really would rather not eat them. Naturally, I've gotta get over it, but bleh.
This morning for breakfast we stepped (wayyyy) out of our comfort zone and made a sweet potato hash to go with our eggs. I am proud of us because it's typically far more cooking than we do in the morning, even on weekends, and it was out of our wheelhouse... but... it was just meh. It tasted okay to me, although I'm not really a fan of sweet potatoes (another thing I've got to get over). It was just weird eating it for breakfast. Derek had his with scrambled eggs and I made mine over-easy and served it them on top of the hash. It wasn't terrible... just... odd. But we got our breakfast veggies in and that's what counts.
Lunch was kind of a seat-of-our-pants dealie as we had intended to pack a picnic to take to the park. However, as luck would have it, it's been raining/rainy all day, which put a damper (pun intended) on those plans. Instead, we winged it (I feel like the past tense should be wung or wang... heh) and it came out quite pretty:
Tomorrow is the test of our will -- I'll be eating out twice tomorrow, Derek once. For me, it'll be great to get out of the office for a little while, and then later, wonderful to spend some time with friends I haven't seen in quite some time.
But for now, off to get ready for bed!
What I Ate:
Breakfast: two over-easy eggs on top of sweet potato hash
Lunch: A little bit of organic deli meat (turkey; Derek had roast beef), veggies, some watermelon, and a handful of nuts (cashews and pecans) for our healthy fats. Eating deli meat without it being on a sandwich is a little odd for me, must say, but it was a good lunch.
Dinner: Roast chicken and green beans.How I Feel:
Same as usual. Sleepy (took a good chunky nap earlier), but no tummy problems like yesterday and in a fairly good mood.
Let's hope we start to see some progress soon! :)
