One month until 40

So I have not been following my meal plan.  With the kids on Spring Break this week it was not easy.  Now I have been sick the past 2 days, so eating wasn't a priority.

Here is my dinner meal plan for the week:

• Monday
• Baked Chicken Fingers
• Homemade Baked French Fries
• Veggies
• Tuesday
• African Style Turkey on couscous
• Veggies
• Wednesday
• Pasta and Veggies with Shrimp
• Salad
• Thursday
• Kids are with their dad
• Friday
• Kids have a half day and Brendan and I are going to go see the Hunger Games.
• Saturday
• Emily has her dance competition

Hmmm...writing this out makes me think that I need to plan those 3 days.  I am going to need to pack some snacks for Saturday because I do not know how long we are going to be at the competition.  Grocery shopping is tomorrow, gotta be smart about it.

Little Victories

I went to a Mexican restaurant last night.  My date and I shared chicken and beef fajitas for two.  I didn't eat any chips and I only had one tortilla.  Pat on the back for me!

My theme song.

Busy Sunday!

So I realize that the weekends I don't have the kids, I don't eat very well.  Today it was not eating.  I got up, ate a late breakfast, then went outside all afternoon and worked in the flowerbeds.  I used this calorie calculator, thank you Jen, to figure out that I burned about 1400 calories working in yard!  I did come in and make a strawberry/pineapple smoothie before hopping in the shower.  Dinner was a chicken quesadilla with peppers and onions.

Not fabulous, but tomorrow is another day.

OK, not too bad

So me falling off the wagon didn't have as bad of an effect as I thought it would.  I didn't gain any weight.  I have been following my meal plan (except for the cake and ice cream) and this week I am down 1.8lbs so far.  I bumped up my running speed this morning - 4.6 for 6 minutes and 5 for 3 minutes.  Going to keep that up tomorrow too.  I still have 11lbs. to go before my birthday.

No dates or prospective dates.  Was messaging a guy on POF one night this week, nothing since.  I have not spoken with Mark, I had texted him and he called back, but I let it go to voicemail.  Same story, busy with work, will get with me later.  I sent him a message to get in touch with me when he had time, which he said he would have after today, and that I had no kids this weekend.  Not holding my breath.
