Week 22: January 5-11, 2010

This week I:
– Lost 0.2 lbs (284.6)
– Drank all my water everyday(66oz/day).
– Went to the farmer’s market(leeks, onions, wheat shell pasta, parppadeli).
– New recipe this week: Venison with Penne (yummy)

I still need to:
– Finish cleaning out the fridge
– Clean the kitchen floor (started but not done yet)
– Clean off the front porch (started)

This week a caught a cold.. and still kept doing my abs. I’m at 10/100, 10% done. I didn’t do Kinect nearly as much as I should. I’m slacking on that and will pick it up again tomorrow. The cold really kicked my butt and sapped my energy. It also made me long for soups.. and we’ve had two different versions of potato soup and yet another batch of chicken and dumplings. F has said enough with the soups and demands variety. Sadly it’s winter and all I can think of is soups. Regardless, I’ll come up with options.

My weight is bouncing around and usually ends up back where I started. I think I need to menu plan better so that I end up with less “quick let’s eat something” meals and more well thought out good-for-you meals.

Need to make this next week:
– Venison Pot pie (using up venison and gravy with penne left overs)
– Quiche (using up the last pie shell and cubed ham)
– Something with Chicken (I have LOTS of chicken in the freezer)
– Hamburgers (have leftover hamburger buns)
– I keep buying red peppers to make stuffed peppers and then not making stuffed peppers.. need to do that.
– Steak or porkchops
