Sick Spouse

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 😉
