Late Lab

The longer I ate my lunch the more I loved it!  I will definitely do without the squeeze cheese next time but everything else was perfection.  I enjoyed my online tv watching as well.  If you have not watched the new show “Modern Family” you need to; it’s comedy genius!

After lunch I had 1 serving of Halloween Dots for dessert.

Then I got started on cooking dinner.  I made a chicken cacciatore recipe from this month’s Cooking Light

But I actually didn’t eat until much later.  As soon as the food was packed up I set off for campus.  I didn’t do so hot on my test last week (83%) but lab went well!  I always stay until the end of lab to work on calculations, which means I don’t leave until 9pm!

When I did finally get home it was time for dinner.

I ate a teeny plate because Adam and I split a chocolate mint milkshake.

Yes, it is 30* outside.  Yes, I am 24 years old and eating ice-cream for dinner.  The chicken was pretty good, Adam loved it.

I’ve got an early morning planned so I’ve got to get ready for bed.  Sweet dreams!

Do you watch tv/movies while you eat or is that dangerous for you?  I know studies always say not to eat in front of the tv but I love to.  I think as long as you only portion out a reasonable amount of healthy food (rather than digging mindlessly from say a bag of potato chips) it’s fine to eat and veg.  Plus, it’s tv, not open heart surgery – I’m able to notice when I’m full and push away my plate even if there’s food left.

One thought on “Late Lab

  1. I’m a big dessert-for-dinner fan. Nothing wrong with milkshakes for dinner – except it would make me cold. I’m such a wuss.

    For me, it totally depends on my mood if I can safely eat in front of the TV. If I’m exhaused – I’ll overeat. But if I am thinking clearly and alert – I can push the excess away.
