This week I:
– Gained 1.2 lbs. 🙁 (298.0)
– Drank all my water everyday. 66oz/day.
– Went to the farmer’s market (red onions, scallions, purple cauliflower, english peas, nectarines, pesto, lox)
– New Recipe this week, I made Caramelized Onions with Scallops
I still need to:
– Start collecting clear/glass containers for storing stuff in the fridge to make stuff easy to identify.
– Finish the fridge
The gain this week is not a mystery. I know exactly why it happened. I’m getting lazy and tired. I need to make my menu ahead of time and stick to it. I need to make the effort.
On Friday I totally should not have gone out for lunch and yet I did. Once I was at lunch I should have ordered something that at least resembled veggies with meat.. and instead I got Lamb Curry. Once I got the lamb curry I should have portioned out what I wanted to eat and boxed up the rest.. instead I just ate until I was painfully stuffed. My own damned fault.
Saturday was an event. I could have packed a “good” lunch but instead we picked up sandwiches from Safeway. For dinner there was a feast. The food was tasty and I ate way to much of it. At feasts I need to NOT take seconds.
Lastly, last night I just gave up and ate that which was calling to me. Fettuccine Alfredo was totally yummy and would probably have been fine except that I also at about half a loaf of bread with butter. I was tired and didn’t want to put the effort into it.. and I need to just stop doing that.
