Saturday ended up being a great day!! I had a wonderful trip to the grocery store and got everything I needed (and more!) for the next two weeks.
I also got to spend time with my sister and mom and got 2 dining chairs (to replace those 2 from the Ikea incident) – love ‘em! And the price was nice too (on sale for $100 each… had a couple of dings on the legs that can be easily fixed so I got 10% off!). (i'll post pics tomorrow!) They headed home after our shopping and then we got ready and went to my sister’s before heading to Twain’s for a birthday gathering for Scott! We had a great time (no pics, sorry!) – love them! The only semi-bad thing that happened was that they didn’t have “energy drinks” (i.e. no SF redbull) and if you remember the mean girl who said Reuben wasn’t cute?? Well the girl who brought her to that party was there and it came up (not by me – swear) and she was very upset – like she cried… and it was awkward and I felt like she didn’t believe that it was true. So weird. Who would make that up? Anywho – other than that it was super fun! I got home at 2 a.m. to my sister’s and we chatted with her and Zach then hit the hay. I realized I didn’t have much to eat. At all – but I ended up at 1,891 calories, 199 carbs, 29 fat grams and 78 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. And really drank - wowza!
Today I woke up STARVING! I ran downstairs at Devie’s and made a piece of toast with wheat bread and spray butter. We got Reuben ready and headed home, stopping for gas and sour gummy lifesavers (tiny pack – I had maybe a third of it!) We got home and I went straight for the fruit, and 
Then I napped, watched some TV, did some laundry, and did LOTS of cooking. I made a new recipe i'll post tomorrow! Spaghetti and meatballs!! (i've made turkey ones before - these were with ground beef.
Also, I’ve decided to put my menus in the sidebar to remind myself and (hopefully) help me focus more on staying on track calorie wise- we’ll see! Here's my menu for this week!
Monday: bacon/egg/cheese muffin (b); baked penne meatball pasta (l) new!; fried rice (d) new!
Tuesday: bacon/egg/cheese muffin (b); pasta salad with veggies and chicken (l); feta & sun-dried tomato stuffed chicken with quinoa (d)
Wednesday: bacon/egg/cheese muffin (b); red curry chicken (l); greek style scampi (dinner)
Thursday: cereal + banana (b); creamy chicken tostados (l); portobellow tetrazzini
Friday: sausage & egg burrito (b); yellow curry (l); enchiladas w/chicken in verde sauce (d)
Saturday: omelet (b); summer garden pasta (l); lemon chicken (d)
Sunday: eggsadilla (b); TBD (l); TBD (d) - new stuff!
Around 8:30 I decided to take a bath – I hadn’t taken one since we moved here! It was great – read more of Karin Slaughter’s Beyond Reach, then hopped in the shower, blow dried, had a snack and did this post! Low-carb snack! Can you believe it?! haha
I ended up low today – 1,264 calories, 175 carbs, 35 fat grams and 80 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. I’m guessing it’s because I haven’t worked out since THURSDAY – wow! So not like me to go 3 days in a row. I had EVERY intention to go Saturday but there really wasn’t time! Oh well – I’m excited to get in the gym tomorrow and finish my book!!
I didn’t have time to gather all of the house photos/new stuff – but here are the new pillows in the spaces!! There’s also a pic of the pillows when they were shipped – loved it!
