Did everyone have a good weekend? I hope so! Today wasn’t really definitively good or bad for me. I didn’t do anything fun and I still didn’t get as much work as I’d hoped done – Adam picked a hell of a weekend to get a cold and be needy – but I got enough done. Plus I spent the whole day with the husband, and even when he is a whiney, snotty mess that still thrills me ❤.
Breakfast was supposed to be a serving of Van’s waffles with 1T maple syrup, cinnamon, and sliced plum.
Looks good, no? No! I don’t know why I fail at breakfast lately but something about how I heated this up made it inedible. I took three torturous bites and moved on.
I was planning on studying at The Spot today but it was inexplicably packed to the brim. I took a very irritating walk up and down Elmwood and finally Adam and I decided to go study at Wegman’s. We got salad bar for lunch and then sat in the cafe and worked.
[small bites of – curried chicken salad, chicken salad, cucumber salad, sesame and general’s chicken, lo mein, Asian green beans, wok seared veggies]
I was hungry the whole time we were there so when we left the store I bought a bag of honey mustard pretzels.
Inhaled. I also ate ~a serving of the husband’s Divine Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut Bar, unphotographed.
On one hand I am irritated with myself for eating junky food all day (especially on a rest day). But on the other hand I had another “do I need this?” moment that I’m proud of. The plan all day had been to get pizza – buffalo chicken pizza with ranch, yum! – for dinner. When I finished my work at 9:30 we were heading out to get it when I realized: I ate 400calories of pretzels and 200calories worth of chocolate; I wasn’t hungry, even though pizza sounded good! Since pizza does not = fruits and veggies I should eat because they provide nutrients, I decided to skip it.
How often do you eat pizza? Is it one of your favorites, or just another meal? I always thought I wasn’t that into pizza, but then we moved to Park Slope and lived next door to the best pizzeria on the planet. We ate pizza 2-4x per week! By the time we moved it was actually embarrassing because we were in there so often 😉





With only three bites of breakfast, I would have downed a half gallon of ice cream by 3pm! A bag of pretzels and a chocolate bar is pittance.
